For each method, the authors examine strengths and weaknesses, the fundamental issues surrounding accuracy, and the method′s application to theoretical and policy research. Throughout the book, the authors nstrate the factors that underlie crime data and illustrate the fundamental links between theory, policy, and data measurement.
