There is an increasing prevalence of large and complex datasets within the social sciences, and notably criminology in recent years. This data explosion has led to the development of specialized techniques for extracting information from such data. This book presents an introduction to "Big Data Science" for criminology and the social sciences, taking a case study-based approach to explaining the concepts. The theory is introduced as needed to answer scientific questions based on real data problems in the application areas. Some R and Python code is included to give support with implementation of the methods.

There are numerous criminal laws, criminal procedures, and expert testimony books, but no single one combines these key issues for the forensic science programs in the U.S. This book is a readable textbook for one-semester law or criminal law courses for forensic science students. It will cover criminal law broadly, focusing rather on the topic areas most important and salient to forensic scientists and students within forensic science including: moot court scenarios, 4th amendment search and seizure law, scientific evidence, expert testimony. All FEPAC accredited forensic science programs are required to teach at least 10 contact hours on criminal law.

Rodents are becoming increasingly popular as pets. This new book covering medicine and common surgeries of the guinea pig, chinchilla, degu, mouse, rat, gerbil, hamster, and prairie dog will provide a concise, yet comprehensive reference for the veterinary practitioner.
