520 0  This book is based on two open-access textbooks: 
       Bhattacherjee's (2012) Social science research: Principles,
       methods, and practices and Blackstone's (2012) Principles 
       of sociological inquiry: Qualitative and quantitative 
       methods. I first used Bhattacherjee's book in a graduate-
       level criminal justice research methods course. I chose 
       the book because it was an open educational resource that 
       covered the major topics of my course. While I found the 
       book adequate for my purposes, the business school 
       perspective did not always fit with my criminal justice 
       focus. I decided to rewrite the textbook for undergraduate
       and graduate students in my criminal justice research 
       methods courses. As I researched other open- educational 
       resources for teaching social science research methods, I 
       found Blackstone's book, which covered more of the social 
       science and qualitative methods perspectives that I wanted
       to incorporate into my book. As a result, this open-access
       textbook includes some content from both previous works 
       along with my own additions based on my extensive 
       experience and expertise in conducting qualitative and 
       quantitative research in social science settings and in 
       mentoring students through the research process. My Ph.D. 
       is in Sociology, and I currently teach undergraduates and 
       graduate students in a criminal justice program at Weber 
       State University. Throughout my career, I have conducted 
       and published the results of research projects using a 
       variety of methods, including surveys, case studies, in-
       depth interviews, participant observation, content 
       analysis, and secondary analysis of quantitative data. I 
       have also mentored undergraduates in conducting community-
       based research projects using many of these same methods 
       with the addition of focus groups and program evaluations.
