Synopsis
Statistics for Criminology and Criminal Justice, Fourth Edition demonstrates the relevancy of statistics in an age of artificial intelligence (AI), deep fakes, and misinformation by helping students ask the right questions so that they can be open-minded but sufficiently skeptical. Jacinta M. Gau uses conversational language to break down complicated concepts, presents statistical tests step by step, and uses SPSS to guide students through obtaining and interpreting output. New to the Fourth Edition are updated examples including the #MeToo and racial justice movements’ impact on the criminal justice system, implications of AI for fraud and cybercrime, and the increasing prevalence of mass casualty events. New data sets are provided, and many Critical Thinking Questions, Learning Checks, Chapter Review Questions have been expanded and updated. These changes reflect a commitment to making statistics more approachable and engaging for students, with a focus on real-world applications and critical thinking.
