Written by two experienced researchers and lecturers Researching Criminology is a comprehensive introduction to the aims, principles and methods of doing criminological research. |
| Synopsis: |
"...what makes the book stand out is the inclusion of real research into various criminal justice institutions that have actually been undertaken by the authors. In doing so, what is produced is a book that stimulates interest and injects research passion, as well as offering research 'know how' into what can often be a difficult and sometimes dry area of research." - Tina Patel, Liverpool John Moores University. "This book provides an essential tool for undergraduate students embarking upon their own research projects in Criminology. It provides clear and informative guidance on a range of research methods and designs to assist students in their own criminological endeavours." - Jacki Tapley, University of Portsmouth. How do criminologists go about studying crime and its consequences? How are programmes for offenders and communities evaluated? How can you collect and analyse criminological material?Research on crime and criminality is often referred to by the media, policy makers and practitioners, but where does this research come from and how reliable is it?Designed especially for students on criminology and criminal justice courses, and professionals working in the field, "Researching Criminology" emphasises the importance of research as an integrated process. It looks at the ways in which a mixture of investigative methods can be used to analyze a criminological question.Written by two experienced researchers and lecturers "Researching Criminology" is a comprehensive introduction to the aims, principles and methods of doing criminological research. The book covers all the key topics that you will encounter when researching crime. Individual chapters include material on: the research process; principles of researching criminology; how to design criminological research; evaluation research; researching ethically; and a glossary of essential key concepts.Structured in three parts, addressing the principles of criminological research, how to collect and analyse material and providing detailed examples of real world research, "Researching Criminology" will be of benefit to all students of criminology and criminal justice, for practitioners interested in criminological research, and for those undertaking criminological research for the first time. |
