EXCEL IN STATISTICS USING EXCEL
Whether you are interested in implementing change in the criminal justice system, shaping public policy, or developing and testing theories of crime, a basic understanding of statistics is essential. Designed for students with little or no familiarity with statistics, Introductory Statistics for Criminal Justice and Criminology presents clear explanations of the underlying concepts of statistical inference and hypothesis testing. The text also features step-by-step demonstrations of common statistical procedures used in criminal justice research.
Special Features of the Text

- ExploreIT! Boxes. Each chapter begins with an ExploreIT! box that introduces a statistical technique for addressing a specific research problem.
- TryIT! Boxes. To reinforce key concepts, TryIT! boxes are inserted throughout the text requiring students to perform different statistical tests.
- Key Terms. Throughout the book, key terms are defined and printed in bold type.
- Problem Sets. At the end of most chapters, problem sets are provided requiring students to calculate and interpret different statistical tests.
