As part of our efforts to ensure that the level of tuition is of the highest standards, five lecturers from the Institute of Criminology, at the University of Malta, embarked on a project that was aimed to create a fundamental document which students can refer to during their research efforts as well as through the "tough" times that the longer research modules such as the dissertation elicit. This publication serves as the basis for the research methods modules.


In view of this, the Institute of Criminology at the University of Malta and the National Statistics Office will be launching the book "The Research Road We Make: Statistics for the Uninitiated" on Friday 23rd September 2011 at 09:30 at the Gateway Building Hall B1, University of Malta.



This publication is the result of a joint collaboration between the two entities that are responsible for the full spectrum of the research process and the eventual statistical analysis and publication of key information. The book brings forward research and statistics in an easy-to-understand and graphic method which ensures that even the "uninitiated" understand the processes involved in creating reliable information for consumption by the student and academic as well as the general public.

The NSO kindly agreed to sell this 279-page full-colour book at cost-price of Eur25 to ensure full dissemination at an affordable price.


Please do contact the undersigned or the NSO's External Cooperation and Communication Unit to reserve a copy.


We would like to see you at the launch since it encourages us to continue these efforts and also to enable you to get a glimpse of the goodies in the book!
