This book explores applied research methods used in forensic
settings - prisons, the probation service, courts and forensic
mental health establishments - and provides a comprehensive
'how-to' guide for forensic practitioners and researchers. It
provides practitioners and researchers with grounding in the
practical techniques appropriate for research in applied forensic
settings. This includes knowledge and skills of the research
process and the wide range of research methods (both quantitative
and qualitative) being applied in this arena. The text provides a
critical understanding of the problems, challenges and ethical
issues which can arise and ideas for managing these. Specific
attention is paid to empirical research within forensic populations
and settings including researching vulnerable groups (e.g.
offenders and the mentally ill in secure settings), evaluating
treatment programmes, and the uses and problems of randomised
control trials. The book is clearly structured, with each
methodology chapter describing the background of the approach; the
type of research questions addressed; design principles and issues;
the types of analysis that can be utilised; strengths and
limitations of the method; future directions and further sources of
information. Through the inclusion of case studies and illustrative
examples from forensic researchers and practitioners who have
extensive experience of conducting applied research, this book
tackles real-life problems typically faced by researchers and
practitioners. Research in Practice for Forensic Professionals is
an essential one-stop resource for practitioners (such as
psychologists, nursing and medical staff, prison and probation
workers, social workers, occupational therapists) who have an
interest in research and in evaluating their own work and the
services in which they work. It will also be of interest to
students studying areas of applied research, such as forensic
psychology or applied criminology and those teaching them.
