{"product_id":"9780803929838","title":"Statistical Applications in Criminal Justice (Law and Criminal Justice Series)","description":"\u003cp\u003eStatistical Applications in Criminal Justice introduces basic statistical concepts in a \"cookbook\" approach to guide math-scared students to an understanding of the utility and value of statistical analysis. Using examples drawn entirely from law and criminal justice research, the authors provide a user-friendly text for undergraduate and statistically naive graduate students of criminal justice. Vito and Latessa begin with an introduction to simple mathematical notation and proceed into a discussion of the theoretical bases of statistics--with particular attention paid to probability, sampling, and hypothesis testing. Once the student has developed a firm mastery of these basic tools, the authors present some basic statistical techniques commonly used in criminal justice research--t-tests, correlations, simple regression, ANOVA, and measures of association. Sample problems are provided to assist the student step-by-step through the application of these techniques. Uniquely written for criminal justice students, this book would be an appropriate supplement to accompany a longer research methods or statistics text. In addition, professionals who wish to brush up on their skills would find its self-teaching features useful.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sage Pubns","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45382638600271,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":3675.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/en\/products\/9780803929838","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
