Statistics for Criminology and Criminal Justice by Jacinta M Gau

Statistics for Criminology and Criminal Justice by Jacinta M Gau

Ideal for students who have a basic background in algebra but who have had little or no exposure to the study of statistics, this text shows readers that statistics used in criminal justice can be enlightening and eye-opening.

"DrGau’s Statistics for Criminology and Criminal Justice text is excellent…the book is logically organized, well written, easily understandable, contains relevant examples and end-of-chapter exercises, and uses SPSS."

-- Ayana Conway, Ph.D.

"A nice textbook for criminal justice students who are new to statistics.  It is thorough yet concise.  The price is certainly likely to win over students.  Well done!"

-- Dr. Matthew D. Fetzer

"Authoritative yet, clear, succinct, and engaging. It covers all the relevant concepts, and it covers them well."

-- Anthony W. Hoskin, PhD.

"The specific CJ examples help students to connect the material to something that is real.  It becomes more than just a math problem and instead they see it as a way to answer a specific research question in the field. This book does that better than any others I’ve seen."

-- Nicole L. Smolter

"I have already adopted this book, and I plan to continue using it.  I have used at least four other statistics books over the years, and this one is superior." 

-- Brian Stults

"The SPSS tutorials are excellent"

-- Carlos E. Posadas, Ph.D.
