NEW TO THIS EDITION

  • More inter-chapter connections have been added to improve students’ conceptual learning.
  • Several examples (on immigration, health, and civil rights) now permeate the text for easy comparison of techniques across chapters.
  • The section on managing data is considerably expanded to cover topics such as finding new sources of data, dealing with missing data, and how to combine data reliably.
  • Very current examples from the scholarly literature from criminology, education, and health show how researchers use each chapter’s techniques to tell compelling stories.
  • Instructors can choose from a variety of greatly expanded materials to enhance their lectures: engaging animations of key concepts; dynamic demonstrations of how statistics change in line with the data; short lectures on difficult-to-explain topics; and in-class exercises that will help students learn how to make sense of statistical results.
