This open access book details tools and procedures for data collections of hard-to-reach, hard-to-survey populations. Inside, readers will discover first-hand insights from experts who share their successes as well as their failures in their attempts to identify and measure human vulnerabilities across the life course. Coverage first provides an introduction on studying vulnerabilities based on the Total Error Survey framework. Next, the authors present concrete examples on how to survey such populations as the elderly, migrants, widows and widowers, couples facing breast cancer, employees and job seekers, displaced workers, and teenagers during their transition to adulthood. In addition, one essay discusses the rationale for the use of life history calendars in studying social and psychological vulnerability while another records the difficulty the authors faced when trying to set-up an online social network to collect relevant data. Overall, this book demonstrates the importance to have, from the very beginning, a dialogue between specialists of survey methods and the researchers working on social dynamics across the life span. It will serve as an indispensable resource for social scientists interested in gathering and analyzing data on vulnerable individuals and populations in order to construct longitudinal data bases and properly target social policies.

Eine Hoersaalbesetzung und ein Schulcamp dienen Michael Ernst-Heidenreich als Fallbeispiele, um die ambivalente Dynamik "situativer Nichtalltaglichkeit" zu eroertern. Mit dem Konzept situativer Nichtalltaglichkeit oeffnet der Autor ein sozialwissenschaftliches Forschungsfeld und erganzt materialreich die Forschungsarbeiten zu sozialen Bewegungen sowie Kinder- und Jugendreisen um eine bisher kaum beleuchtete Facette. Die entwickelte Perspektive verspricht uber die diskutierten Ereignisse hinaus neue Moeglichkeiten der theoretischen Einordnung aktuell brisanter Phanomene - Arabellion, Occupy, PEGIDA, Fluchtenden-Helferkreise etc. - und folglich ein soziologisches Verstandnis der Wirkweisen sowie Verlaufsformen derartiger nichtalltaglicher Arrangements.
