This bookdescribes and explains the use of research methods that will strengthen the research efforts ofthose solving government and nonprofit problems.This book is aimed primarily at those studying research methods in masters and doctoral levelcourses in curricula that concern the public and nonprofit sector. Thus, students in programs inpublic administration, nonprofit management, criminal justice, nursing, and education, to mention afew, will be provided detailed information on conceptualizing, planning, and implementing researchprojects of many different types.The book is also aimed at consumers of research reports. For example, government executiveswho fund research must be able to determine whether the research objectives set out in the projectare properly conceptualized and whether the research methods chosen are appropriate to theobjectives and concepts. This volume will inform such research consumers.We would like to thank many anonymous peer reviewers for their critical reading of the chaptersin this book. Other groups merit public attention. The first group has two members who servedwithout anything but our thanks, and we thank them again in public—Professor Hindy L. Schachter,New Jersey Institute of Technology, and Professor Alfred Tat-Kei Ho, Indiana University-PurdueUniversity Indianapolis. The second group is a group of methodologists who helped us by providingideas for chapters, arguing with us about whether the quantitative–qualitative balance seemed right,and reviewing pieces of chapters or combinations of chapters or the entire manuscript. For these andthe support of the book they represent, we thank you. The third group is comprised of the authorswho appear here. Each of the authors worked incredibly hard to produce their best thinking andteaching ideas. All of them made suggestions about cross-indexing and ensuring that consistencywas not forgotten. Many helped each other beyond what any editor could have asked. We thankeach of you with enthusiasm.
