Acknowledgments
First, I would like to thank C. Deborah Laughton, Publisher, Methodology and Statis-
tics, at The Guilford Press for her untiring support, ideas, critique, and insight during
this project; there’s nothing to say except she’s the editor that every author dreams
of. My job was made far easier by her professional and caring staff. I offer a special
thanks to Katherine Sommer, Paul Gordon for the creative cover, and others at Guil-
ford for their tremendous help along the way. William Meyer—all I can say is “Thank
you so much.” The book looks great and I truly appreciate what you’ve done! I am
also most grateful to the following reviewers: Brian Withrow, Department of Crimi-
