Handbook of Quantitative Criminology Description
The "Handbook of Quantitative Criminology" is designed to be the authoritative volume on methodological and statistical issues in the criminology/criminal justice field. Like handbooks available in other disciplines (economics, psychology, sociology), this book will be the go-to book for new and advanced methods in the field that will provide overviews of the issues, with examples and figures as warranted, for students, faculty, and researchers alike. Authored by leading scholars in criminology/criminal justice, the Handbook contains 24 chapters on topics in the following key areas: (1) research design, (2) experimental methods, (3) methods for overcoming data limitations, (4) innovative descriptive methods, (5) estimation techniques for theory and policy, (6) topics in multiple regression, and (7) new directions in statistical analysis.

Rare volume which covers all the critical bases in quantitative criminology, edited by two seminal scholars in Piquero and Weisburd, and features "go to" researchers in each of the volume's content areas. The volume also distinguishes itself by including analytical frames that tend to receive scant attention elsewhere -- topics such as life event calendars, social network analysis, systematic social observation, growth mixture analysis, mixed methods, and the estimation of crime costs. Its sweet spots are graduate methods/stats seminars in criminology and criminal justice and as a reference book for faculty of the same.
