For several decades qualitative research has been
under-represented in criminological and criminal justice research.
This book is designed to promote the understanding of qualitative
research designs and to encourage their use among those seeking
answers to questions about crime and justice. To this end a number
of top qualitative scholars have been assembled to provide their
insights on the topic. The chapters that appear delve into the
state of qualitative methods in the discipline, the potential
ethical and physical hazards of engaging in ethnographic research,
how to make sense of and interpret participants stories, innovative
ways to collect data, the value of using mixed methods to
understand crime and justice issues, effective strategies for
teaching fieldwork, and the inherent rewards of a career spent
speaking with others. This book will be an ideal introduction for
students and scholars of Criminal Justice, Criminology, and
Sociology, regardless of whether their primary methodology is
qualitative or quantitative.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the
Journal of Criminal Justice Education.
