Produktbeschreibung

Despite illustrious origins dating to the 1920s, qualitative crime research has long been overshadowed by quantitative inquiry. After decades of limited use, there has been a notable resurgence in crime ethnography, naturalistic inquiry, and related forms of fieldwork addressing crime and related social control efforts. The Routledge Handbook of Qualitative Criminology signals this momentum as the first major reference work dedicated to crime ethnography and related fieldwork orientations. Synthesizing the foremost topics and issues in qualitative criminology into a single definitive work, the Handbook provides a "first-look" reference source for scholars and students alike.

Rezensionen

'This is an outstanding collection of essays covering a wide range of issues that are found at the very core of the criminological project. Crucial reading for both students and seasoned practitioners.' - Dick Hobbs, Professor of Sociology, University of Western Sydney, Australia

'Criminology rightly aspires to be a science, yet bizarrely we eschew the essential foundations of science itself by severely curtailing our range of methodologies. This impressive and badly needed volume features the work of the brave researchers who have swum against those strong tides to keep qualitative research alive and hence preserve criminology as a true science.' - Shadd Maruna, Dean and Professor, School of Criminal Justice, Rutgers University Newark, USA

'Copes and Miller provide excellent examples of qualitative research strategies which have been used by scholars in crime research. The collection will prove useful to both researchers and graduate students in criminological and justice research. It is not a typical qualitative methods text - this one provides vivid examples of problems and strategies and specific examples of actual research experiences in several criminal arenas.' - Craig J. Forsyth, Professor of Sociology, University of Louisiana, USA
