Statistics in Social Work is a practical and effective resource for social work students. Batchelor requires no prior knowledge of statistics from her readers and explains topics in plain language with relatable examples. Most importantly, she offers a social justice perspective that emphasizes and integrates the core value of the social work profession. Ashley Davis, Boston University
This is an excellent introduction to statistics for both students and practitioners in social work—it demystifies terms and procedures and uses real world examples to help the reader to see the everyday applicability of statistical knowledge, whether in practice or in study. John Devaney, coauthor of Quantitative Research Methods for Social Work: Making Social Work Count
