The Process of Social Research in Criminal Justice and Criminology is designed with the undergraduate student and novice researcher in mind. By exploring topics in a conversational tone, illustrating concepts through easy-to-grasp examples, and providing research examples that are relevant to students' lives, the text draws in students' attention and supports their understanding of challenging material. The inclusion of criminal justice-specific information and examples in this adaptation of Dixon et al.'s The Process of Social Research, along with detailed application exercises, ensures that this text helps students understand the value research skills, both in their studies and future careers.

Featuring a conversational, engaging, and student-friendly writing style, The Process of Social Research, Third Edition, introduces students to the fundamentals of research. It places a unique emphasis on process with flowcharts in every chapter that provide step-by-step guides for conducting social research and evaluating the research of others. The authors use relatable, everyday examples and carefully selected research examples to make the book accessible to undergraduates. Comprehensive and up-to-date without attempting to be encyclopedic in its coverage, The Process of Social Research provides a balance between qualitative and quantitative research, taking a more integrated approach to describing the relationship between theory and research.
