Product Description
Product Description
- The Howard Journal of Criminal Justice
Criminological Research offers a comprehensive guide to both the theory and practice of qualitative criminological research.
Through a detailed yet concise explanation, the reader is shown how a variety of methods and approaches work and how their outcomes may be interpreted. Practically focused throughout, the book also offers constructive advice for students analysing and writing their research projects.
Key features of the book include:
- An innovative framework - combining different methodologies and approaches
- A variety of `real-life' examples and case studies - enriches the book for the reader
- A set of practical exercises and further reading sections in each chapter - pedagogical and student-focussed throughout
- A broad coverage - includes discussions of ethnography, interviewing, documentary evidence and data-analysis
- A detailed and practical discussion of the politics of research, such as issues of access, ethics and confidentiality
The book has a flowing narrative and student-friendly structure which makes it accessible to students. Written by experts in the field, it will be an invaluable resource for students and researchers, helping them to undertake effective research in both criminology and courses in qualitative research in related disciplines.
About the Author
I joined the School of Law in 2005 having previously held academic posts at the University of Kent, Cardiff University, University of Wales, Bangor and the University of Cambridge. I also spent a period of time in the late 1990s on secondment to the National Assembly for Wales to refocus their drug policy. I am currently one of two Deputy Directors of the Centre for Criminal Justice Studies and Programme Manager for the undergraduate degree, BA Criminal Justice and Criminology.
Qualitative research has a long and distinguished history in the social sciences, arising in part from dissatisfaction with quantitative approaches. Read the first page
