Description and Table of Contents
Description
These stimulating essays examine creative methodologies, test important hypotheses, and cast new light on major concerns in criminology and criminal justice. They exemplify the growing importance of quantitative criminology as a critical context in which novel ideas are matched with new kinds of data and new modes of analysis.
'The SAGE Research Progress in Criminology series continues to present the important and challenging issues. Writers from a variety of disciplines and numerous countries contribute to the papers, which have a wide spread of interest and relevance to the current debate in the crime field...The seven chapters in Quantitative Criminology are excellent examples of the creative use of quantitative techniques in criminology.' -- Police Journal, October 1983
'...the book is a welcome addition to the existing literature of 'quantitative techniques in a creative fashion' for which the editor and the publisher deserve compliments. Indeed, the book will encourage quantitative research interest of social scientists in general and criminologists, in particular.' -- Indian Journal of Criminology and Criminalistics, Vol 3 No 1/2, March-June 1983
