This volume brings together research principles with the practical issues of carrying out research to provide a clear and fascinating guide to the reality of contemporary criminological research. The experience of leading experts is combined with first-hand accounts from new scholars, to provide a text that students can refer to throughout their criminological studies.

Doing Research on Crime and Justice is divided into five parts, and covers practice and politics in criminology; theory, data and types of criminological research; research on crime, criminals and victims; research on criminal justice agencies and institutions, and concludes with four case studies from new scholars.

Incorporating a new international perspective, this volume also addresses contemporary issues such as cyber crime, and provides guidance on conducting research in situations of cultural diversity.

New to this edition:-

  • More detailed coverage of quantitative approaches to criminological research
  • Discussion of cutting-edge methodologies including Internet research
  • Further chapters on different styles of criminological research including comparative research and evaluative research
  • Four new case studies which reveal the experience of criminologists embarking upon their research careers
