I received the text on Friday and, after a weekend of reading it, I determined that it was ideal for my course. My students will be told to purchase the book immediately from the bookstore.

Somewhat of an American bias, nevertheless an excellent introductory text for undergraduate research in the fields of Crime Investigation and Criminal Justice. It helps students to understand how criminal justice research is carried out and to evaluate the results.
