Mixed Methods in Criminology is the first book to bring together
the discipline of criminology with the mixed methods research
strategy, which has become increasingly prominent within
criminological teaching and research. The book is structured so
that it charts the course of a criminological mixed methods study.
Starting with an introduction to mixed methods and its implications
for criminology and criminological research, the book then works
systematically through the planning stages of a research project.
Developing research questions, aims and objectives is discussed
alongside literature searching skills and the project planning
process, before the principles and practice of ethical research are
summarised. Next come chapters on philosophy, mixed methods design,
combining the data, research design and sampling, data collection
methods and data analysis; delivering a comprehensive overview of
how to undertake a mixed methods research project in practice. This
is followed by a chapter on troubleshooting, which provides useful
advice from experienced mixed methods researchers, before a
detailed account of how to write-up mixed methods research is
presented. The book concludes with a range of real-life mixed
methods case studies to demonstrate how the techniques outlined in
this book have been employed in reality and to inspire new
criminological mixed methods projects. Providing straightforward,
easy to follow guidance, Mixed Methods in Criminology is the
essential student companion for any criminological mixed methods
research project. Drawing on the authors' years of experience
teaching research methods, the book is written in a supportive and
encouraging tone that will serve as a reference and guide for those
embarking on their adventures 'in the field'.
Nils Christie's (1986) seminal work on the 'Ideal Victim' is
reproduced in full in this edited collection of vibrant and
provocative essays that respond to and update the concept from a
range of thematic positions. Each chapter celebrates and
commemorates his work by analysing, evaluating and critiquing the
current nature and impact of victim identity, experience, policy
and practice. The collection expands the focus and remit of 'victim
studies', addressing key themes around race, gender, faith, ability
and age while encompassing new and diverse issues. Examples include
sex workers as victims of hate crimes, victims' experiences of
online fraud, and recognising historic child sexual abuse victims
in Ireland. With contributions from an array of academics including
Vicky Heap (Sheffield Hallam University), Hannah Mason-Bish
(University of Sussex) and Pamela Davies (Northumbria University),
as well as a Foreword by David Scott (The Open University), this
book evaluates the contemporary relevance and applicability of
Christie's 'Ideal Victim' concept and creates an important platform
for thinking differently about victimhood in the 21st century.
