Decent book. Buy the kindle version
The book was a required purchase for the class I'm taking (criminal research methodology). It has good information and an okay format but it was honestly not very helpful or relevant to the class I am taking. Other reviews say the light colored text is difficult to read so I bought the kindle version instead - which I recommend doing if you plan to purchase this book. I liked that I could highlight and make flashcards since this book has lots of research vocabulary and the format of the book jumps around a lot so having a search bar is a god send

Terrible editing and format
Whoever thought it was a good idea to use yellow font in a glossy textbook needs to be fired. All page numbers, bold and glossary terms, section titles are in a yellowish orange font that requires some major overhead lighting if you don’t want to be straining your eyes. There is a severe lack of examples for some tricky concepts. And at one point (and I’m only half way through) the same two sentences were repeated only a paragraph apart. There was no insinuation that it was an important thing to remember. It seemed like I was just a major editing error. So sorry if you get stuck having to use this book for a class. Hopefully your professor will give you some good supplemental material to go with it.
