It's simple, straightforward, and helped to push forward my research. I'm grateful for the simple instructions to a complicated process. Very detailed yet never confusing. I like the examples they give to help me connect the abstract concepts to something unique. Great purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, but Hard to Read
Verified PurchaseI ordered it, as it was required for my CJ Research Methods course. It is a great book and very informative, however, due to its layout and structure, I found it very hard to follow and comprehend at times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Criminal Justice-Ebook new fanatic
Verified PurchaseI have taken many criminal justice classes and I could say that this is one of the best books I've read. This is my last class before getting my degree so I know that this is a great book. Also, it is my first "ebook" I love it!
