Difficult to follow,

This review is from: Basics of Research Methods for Criminal Justice and Criminology (Paperback)
By far, this is the most difficult to read textbook that I've ever encountered. It is filled with repetition that makes you feel as if you've read the same line over and over again. Possibly worse so, the book is quite dry and full of sentences (many of which are fragments) that will make you stop and wonder what in the world the author is talking about.

Horrible book,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Basics of Research Methods for Criminal Justice and Criminology (Paperback)
This book could easily be condensed to 100 pages if the author took out the constant repitition and examples. I am fine with one or two examples being used to clarify a subject but this book is seriously about 3/4ths examples. The book is also incredibly dry and an overall pain to read.
