The Practice of Research in Criminology and Criminal Justice, 6th Edition continues to show the vital role research plays by integrating in-depth, real-world case studies with a comprehensive discussion of research methods.

Covering research findings from critical areas in criminal justice, such as police use of force, race, and cybercrime, this textbook helps college students understand the importance of research and not just the process.

The 6th Edition of this best-selling textbook preserves the strengths of previous editions while breaking ground with upcoming research methods, enhanced tools for learning in the text and online, and contemporary, exciting research findings.
