Building on the editors’ previous publication, Engaging with
Ethics in International Criminological Research, this new book
brings together a fresh collection of leading international
scholars tackling ethical dilemmas in criminological research.
Contributors address how they have experienced and addressed
ethical issues in their research, and how they have balanced the
benefits and harms of doing such research for both the researcher
and the researched. Ethical Dilemmas in International
Criminological Research draws on various issues across a range of
jurisdictions and political and social contexts, including
cybercrime and transgressive online actions; state and police
responses to crime; the war on drugs; working with traumatised
participants in criminological research; punishment and prison; and
sex, sexualities, and gender. Moreover, this collection aims to
offer a truly international perspective, including insights from
research projects in the Global South. This book is essential
reading for junior scholars just starting out with original
research, as well as more seasoned researchers looking to gain
insights into the challenges of criminological research in other
cultural contexts. It is also instructive reading for students
taking courses in criminological and social research methods.
A society's response to youth crime reveals much about its broader
cultural values, social circumstances, and political affairs. This
book examines reactions and policy responses to youth delinquency
and crime in Hong Kong during its colonial and post-colonial
periods, and in doing so, underscores the history of Hong Kong
itself and its present-day circumstances. Exploring how officials
have responded to youth crime in Hong Kong over time, this book
tracks the emergence of a penal elitist mode of governance,
highlighting concerns not only about young people's behavior but
the need for officials to establish state authority and promote
citizen identification. In turn, it reveals an alternative to the
'usual story' about youth crime found in many western regions and
provides an opportunity to begin to develop a comparative
criminology. The book examines the emergence of the 'disciplinary
welfare' tariff during the 1970s, debates and policy changes
related to the minimum age of criminal responsibility and youth sex
crimes, and inaction regarding the introduction of restorative
justice initiatives in the post-colonial era. It also addresses the
power of 'Post-80s' youth to protest and challenge government
policies, which directly combat contemporary fears regarding the
'mainlandization' of Hong Kong. Drawing on archival sources,
official reports and interviews with key stakeholders in the
juvenile justice system, Responding to Youth Crime in Hong Kong
will appeal to students and scholars interested in Chinese society,
criminology, social work, sociology and youth studies.
Cyber-risks are moving targets and societal responses to combat
cyber-victimization are often met by the distrust of young people.
Drawing on original research, this book explores how young people
define, perceive, and experience cyber-risks, how they respond to
both the messages they are receiving from society regarding their
safety online, and the various strategies and practices employed by
society in regulating their online access and activities. This book
complements existing quantitative examinations of cyberbullying
assessing its extent and frequency, but also aims to critique and
extend knowledge of how cyber-risks such as cyberbullying are
perceived and responded to. Following a discussion of their
methodology and their experiences of conducting research with
teens, the authors discuss the social network services that teens
are using and what they find appealing about them, and address
teens' experiences with and views towards parental and school-based
surveillance. The authors then turn directly to areas of concern
expressed by their participants, such as relational aggression,
cyberhacking, privacy, and privacy management, as well as sexting.
The authors conclude by making recommendations for policy makers,
educators and teens - not only by drawing from their own
theoretical and sociological interpretations of their findings, but
also from the responses and recommendations given by their
participants about going online and tackling cyber-risk. One of the
first texts to explore how young people respond to attempts to
regulate online activity, this book will be key reading for those
involved in research and study surrounding youth crime, cybercrime,
youth culture, media and crime, and victimology - and will inform
those interested in addressing youth safety online how to best
approach what is often perceived as a sensitive and volatile social
problem.

Despite a voluminous literature detailing the procedures of
research ethics boards and institutional ethical review processes,
there are few texts that explore the realpolitik of conducting
criminal research in practice. This book explores the unique lived
experiences of scholars engaging with ethics during their
criminological research, and focuses on the ethical dilemmas that
researchers encounter both in the field and while writing up
results for publication. Who benefits from criminological research?
What are the roles and impacts of ethics review boards? How do
methodological and theoretical decisions factor in to questions of
ethical conduct and research ethics governance? This book is
divided into four parts: Part I, Institutional arrangements and
positionality, explores the ongoing and expanding process of ethics
protocol and procedures, principles of confidentiality, and the
positionality of the researcher. Part II, Trust and research with
vulnerable populations, examines the complexity of work involving
prisoners, indigenous peoples and victims of extreme violence,
power dynamics between researchers and participants, and the
challenges of informed consent. Part III, Research on and with
police, reflects on the importance of transparent relations with
police, best practices, and the consequences of undertaking
research in authoritarian contexts. Part IV, Emerging areas,
scrutinizes the ethics of carceral tours and suggests possible
alternatives, and offers one of the first sociological and
criminological examinations of dark net cryptomarkets. Drawing upon
the experiences of international experts, this book aims to provoke
further reflection on and discussion of ethics in practice. This
book is ideal for students undertaking courses on research methods
in criminology, as well as a key resource for criminology
researchers around the world.
