Security and Risk Technologies in Criminal Justice takes students
through the evolution of risk technology devices, processes, and
prevention. This seminal text unpacks technology’s influence on
our understanding of governance and social order in areas of
criminal justice, policing, and security. With a foreword by
leading criminologist, Kevin Haggerty, the collection consists of
three sections that explore the impact of big data, traditional
risk practices, and the increased reliance on technology in
criminal justice. Eight chapters offer diverse examples that are
linked by themes of preventative justice, calculability of risk,
the theatre and reality of technology, and the costs of justice.
With both national and international appeal, this vital resource is
ideal for undergraduate and graduate students in criminology,
police studies, or sociology.
An edited collection packed with advice, exercises, and anecdotes,
The Craft of Qualitative Research is a practical, introductory
guide that will develop students’ skills and confidence in
qualitative research. Accessible in style and tone, this text
equips students with the tools needed to manage and overcome
challenges, emotions, biases, and power dynamics in the field. To
encourage experiential learning, 45 concise chapters include
real-world examples and practical exercises from scholars and
professionals in varying disciplines and stages of career. Each
section begins with an editors’ introduction then takes readers
through the steps of successful qualitative research: from planning
projects ethically and entering the field, to collecting and
analyzing data, and lastly, to exiting the field and disseminating
findings. Students in research-reliant disciplines, particularly
sociology, anthropology, criminology, social work, and health
studies will benefit from this distinctly practical resource.
