"""While many introductory R books use heterogeneous examples, here, the author did a great job introducing the R programming language using examples from criminology in a homogenous way. This book also offers a valuable compendium of crime related datasets for those already familiar programming in R. Specially, for graduate students, researchers, and data scientists, that wish to conduct more complex analyses on these types of data."" - Enrique Garcia-Ceja, Tecnologico de Monterrey, Mexico, Technometrics, November 2023."
