Criminological Skills and Research for Beginners is a comprehensive
and engaging guide to research methods in Criminology, and the
skills required for academic success. Written specifically for
undergraduate students and novice researchers, this book has been
designed as a lively and accessible guide to planning, conducting
and reporting research in the subject. It emphasises practical
skills required in studying Criminology, the importance of
criminological research, and places related methodology firmly in
the context of students' broader study of the discipline, before
moving on to provide a detailed guide to the actual processes of
research. It is common for Criminology undergraduates to feel
intimidated at the prospect of conducting their own research, and
these students typically struggle to see the relevance of research
methods to their own studies. This book speaks directly to the
needs of such students, and includes contemporary examples and case
studies that bring a topic that is often thought of as dry to life,
providing a thorough and accessible practical guide that students
can return to at each stage of their research, all the way through
to their dissertation. This book covers: an examination of the
theoretical, political and ethical debates in criminological
research; a complete guide to planning criminological research,
assisting student researchers in identifying their research
questions, choosing their research methods and critiquing the
available literature; guidance on the practicalities and processes
of collecting data; a discussion of the process of analysing data
and writing up research. New to the second edition is a brand new
section on research skills in Criminology, including detailed
coverage of writing skills, referencing, dissertations and research
reports, presentation skills and revision. The book also offers
additional coverage of the politics of criminological research and
the presentation of official crime statistics. Including an
extensive glossary and an integrated companion website with extra
examples, exercises and videos to further develop students'
understanding, this book is essential reading for any undergraduate
on a Criminological Research Methods or Research Skills course, or
for anyone in need of practical guidance on any or all of the
various stages involved in conducting thorough and effective
criminological research.
