There has been a surge of recent interest by social work
researchers in conducting research in criminal and juvenile justice
settings. This is largely fueled by the tremendous increase in
incarceration over the last several decades, with millions more in
probation or parole at any given time. Rising expenditures strain
state and local budgets and many individuals are spending much of
their adolescence and young adulthood in correctional facilities.
Despite the profound impact that the criminal justice system has on
client populations served by social workers and related
professions, there are few practical resources available to guide
research in these settings. This Pocket Guide fills a critical gap
in the literature by providing state-of-the-art techniques for
researchers, graduate students, and agency administrators. Research
in criminal justice settings represents unique challenges that
require rigorous designs and a suite of methods, as well as the
tools to navigate a complex system. With this accessible and
practical guide, readers will encounter a wide range of study types
and data sources, along with strengths and weaknesses to consider
with each as they conceptualize, implement, and analyze their
research. Crucially, the authors also provide advice on how to gain
and manage access to these settings, as well as templates for
preparing a successful Institutional Review Board application.
Step-by-step procedures elucidate the use of extant and
administrative data, and practical case examples, sample forms, and
measures will help researchers implement their studies quickly and
effectively.
