Misuse, Misrepresentation, and Politicization of Statistics in American Society

By Robert E Parker

This book examines the measurement efforts of several government agencies responsible for some of the most widely watched social indicators on unemployment, life expectancy, crime, and population. It argues these official statistics are dubious at best, not so much objective barometers of social life but socially-constructed metrics.
