Relevant Business Statistics Using Excel or White Collar Crime

Relevant Business Statistics Using Excel

Author: David Gerbing

Not only classroom tested, this book has truly been classroom driven. David Gerbing has been teaching this material in his own classes for over 3 years and revising it to better address difficult topics and areas of student confusion. This Excel driven text combines the presentation of content, the illustration of concepts, and multiple opportunities for application throughout the body of each chapter; the author does not wait until the end of the chapter to provide exercises which reinforce the material. He relies heavily on visual examples (line graphs, tables, histograms, screen dumps from Excel, ect.) to explain and support the theoretical material being discussed. The integration of content and exercises allows for more regular practice of statistical principles, ensuring a higher level of student mastery.

White Collar Crime: Law and Practice

Author: Jerold H Isreal

Overall, the book is designed to promote student appreciation of the interaction in the white collar field of legal doctrines. The material exposes students to how legal transactions involved in a single white collar crime case can require consideration of substantive criminal law, criminal procedure, administrative procedure, corporate law, evidence, civil procedure, sentencing law, and highly specialized regulatory law. The book also allows students to appreciate the influence of administrative policies and the influence of the basic "culture" of white collar criminal practice. Provides a unique combination of traditional materials (cases and statutes) and not-so-traditional materials (e.g., newspaper articles, forms, and practice manuals).
