This work demonstrates the value of a multi-method approach to public policy analysis, arguing that descriptive historical studies, quantitative historical studies and cross-sectional quantitative studies are essentially compatible.

The Politics of Hispanic Education: Un Paso Pa'lante y dos Pa'tras (United States Hispanic Studies Series) (Suny Series, United States Hispanic Studies)
(This is the first systematic study of the politics of "se...)
This is the first systematic study of the politics of "second generation discrimination" against Hispanic students. Despite the fact that Hispanics are the second largest and fastest growing minority in the United States, little attention has been paid to the efforts of Hispanics to achieve equal educational opportunity. Quantitative, historical, and legal analysis are used to examine the access of Hispanic students to equal educational opportunities in school districts throughout the U.S. "Very little significant research has been done on Hispanic representation and politics, especially in comparison with the huge corpus of literature on blacks. The attention to Hispanics makes this a significant book. The work is of high quality, intelligently drawing together literature from education, sociology, and political science to set the stage for the authors' analyses. Both the comparisons with the literature on black education and representation and the authors' intra-Hispanic comparisons make it clear that minorities differ significantly from one another in their treatment by education authorities and in their ability to convert group resources into improved educational opportunities. The longitudinal nature of the study is another plus." -- Susan Welch, University of Nebraska-Lincoln "As one who teaches and does research in the area(s) of Hispanic politics and policy, I am quite aware of the paucity of research, much less good research, in this area. Therefore, this book is a most welcome addition. It is theoretically sensitive, methodologically rigorous and generally will, I think, be an important work. " -- Rodney Hero, University of Colorado, Boulder

As the first book ever published for public administration statistics courses, APPLIED STATISTICS FOR PUBLIC AND NONPROFIT ADMINISTRATION makes a difficult subject accessible to students and practitioners of public administration and to non-profit studies who have little background in statistics or research methods. Steeped in experience and practice, this landmark text remains the first and best in research methods and statistics for students and practitioners in public-and nonprofit-administration. All statistical techniques used by public administration professionals are covered, and all examples in the text relate to public administration and the nonprofit sector. Avoiding jargon and formula, this text uses a step-by-step approach that facilitates student learning.

Race, Class, and Education: The Politics of Second-Generation Discrimination (La Follette Public Policy Series)
( While most school systems have undergone some formal de...)
While most school systems have undergone some formal desegregation to eliminate inequities in access to education, inequities—and discrimination—nonetheless remain. In this study covering 170 major school districts during the years between 1968 and 1984, the authors discuss the remaining obstacles to equal opportunity in education. Clustering of students into separate classes or groups of classes based on perceived learning potential is one form of discrimination that remains; disciplinary policy resulting in suspension or expulsion is the other. Based on their findings, Meier, Stewart, and England argue that the single most important factor in improving the access of black students to equal educational opportunities is having black teachers in the classroom, a goal attainable through use of the political system. “In a very concise book, Meier, Stewart, and England . . . build a damning case against standard education policies as contributors to the resegregation of our schools. . . . In the process, they give us an excellent example of what good policy analysis is by carefully blending empirical documentation with evaluation and prescription.”—Mary Kweit, Public Administration Review
