Overall, Practical Applications for Criminal Justice Statistics is not only an excellent companion to the main text Criminal Justice Statistics: A Practical Approach, but could also be used as a reader for research and special topic courses.

Expands on statistical usage presented in Criminal Justice Statistics: A Practical Approach.
10 examples of research from academics and practitioners.
