About this title

Synopsis

In this most extensive revision of their classic text for social workers, Rubin and Babbie retain the integrity of their comprehensive, quantitative approach, while including more content about qualitative methods. As one pre-publication reviewer pointed out, ''With this edition, you have solved a problem in the discipline by infusing coverage of qualitative issues where it is most important".
