This book has two central aims. First, to demonstrate the
importance of qualitative research through an examination of the
type of data that it is capable of producing. Second, to do so
using first-hand research accounts of ethnographic work. Toward
these ends, the contributors cover a variety of topics: drug
dealing; football hooliganism; entrepreneurial crime; the culture
of policing; policing and the miners' strike; protest at Greenham
Common; the politics of organizational change and race and
sexuality in the field-work process. In reflecting upon personal
experiences of field-work, together with the research strategies
employed, the authors illustrate their arguments in both a detailed
and accessible manner. The themes they discuss include the ethics
and politics of field-work; reflexivity and data production;
feminist field-work; the publication and production of studies, and
an examination of the contrasting cultures of academia and what is
normally termed the `field', where knowledges are authenticated
according to different rules and power relations. As a result,
Interpreting the Field, will have wide appeal for those who wish to
understand the dynamics, advantages, and problems associated with
ethnographic work: for example, undergraduates and post-graduates
undertaking their own research. It will also be of interest to
methodologists and those working in the areas of crime, deviance,
and organizational studies, as well as general readers of social
science literature.
