The Ninth Edition of Social Statistics for a Diverse Society continues to emphasize intuition and common sense, while demonstrating the link between the practice of statistics and important social issues. Recognizing that we live in a world characterized by a growing diversity and richness of social differences, best-selling authors Frankfort-Nachmias, Leon-Guerrero, and Davis help students learn key statistical concepts through real research examples related to the dynamic interplay of race, class, gender, and other social variables. The text also helps readers develop important skills such as problem-solving (through a rich variety of exercises), use of statistical software (both SPSS and Excel), and interpreting research literature.

My department would like me to choose between 3-4 different texts. The book is very comprehensive and loads of practical examples related to social work evaluation.

I liked that the fact that Excel had been incorporated into demonstrating and learning the database and analysis tools available in Excel. SPSS is costly and not always available to students.
