商品簡介
Lipsey (public policy, Vanderbilt U.) and Wilson (criminology and criminal justice, U. of Maryland) describe a form of survey research in which research reports rather than people are surveyed. They explain the strengths and weaknesses of the technique and how to select relevant research studies, to code their various characteristics and quantitative findings, and to analyze and describe their collective results in a valid and useful manner.
