Qualitative Research in Criminology: Cutting-Edge Methods by Rita Faria; Mary Dodge (Editors)
This volume introduces innovative and inspired qualitative methods through topics on crime commission, victimisation and crime control. It highlights how qualitative methods offer significant insights that frame our understanding of the narratives, events, theoretical perspectives, and realities of the social world. This book includes chapters discussing cutting-edge methods, which demonstrate how qualitative research can expand beyond traditional approaches. It offers diversity in research, including gender, race, and geographic sensitivities. The volume addresses a multitude of approaches for using qualitative methodologies, including innovative uses of technology mediums--such as social media, participatory videos, Zoom interviewing, and photographic visual methods--as means of collecting and co-producing relevant data on meaning. Ultimately, this book illustrates how qualitative criminology allows for deeper and more nuanced understandings of local and regional specificities in a globalized world, and how social interactions are influenced by individual interpretations, social interactions, and collective decision making. This volume is an essential read for graduate students and researchers in criminology and other social science disciplines interested in qualitative empirical research and informed policy making.

Qualitative Research in Criminology: Advances in Criminological Theory by Jody Miller; Wilson R. Palacios (Editors)
"This volume investigates the significant role qualitative research plays in expanding and refining our understandings of crime and justice. It features seventeen original essays that discuss the relationship between methodology and theory. The result is a theoretically engaged volume that explores the approaches of qualitative scholars in the collection and treatment of data in criminological scholarship.Among the key issues addressed in the volume are methodological rigor in qualitative research; movement between method, theory building, theoretical refinement and expansion; diversity of qualitative methodologies, from classic field research to contemporary innovations; and considerations of the future of qualitative criminological research.Qualitative research use has expanded rapidly in the last twenty years. This latest volume of Advances in Criminological Theory presents a cogent appraisal of qualitative criminology and the ways in which rigorous qualitative research contributes to theorizing about crime and justice."

Methods of Criminology and Criminal Justice Research by Mathieu Deflem; Derek Silva (Editors)
The eleven chapters in this volume of Sociology of Crime, Law and Deviance discuss a variety of issues of methodological significance in research in the fields of criminology and criminal justice studies. As scholarly work on various aspects of crime, deviance, criminal justice, and social control has progressed tremendously in recent decades, both in terms of scope as well as with respect to theoretical approaches, the employed methods of investigation have also broadened and advanced to be as sophisticated as those used in any other area of contemporary social-science inquiry. The authors in this volume demonstrate the methodological maturity and diversity of current empirical research in criminology and criminal justice in a number of areas, such as general trends of crime, criminal networks, violence against women, sex work, elder financial exploitation, school safety, immigrant detention, extremism on the internet, and human trafficking. Presenting a state-of-the-art overview of criminological and criminal justice methodologies today, this book is of interest to a wide range of scholars and students in the fields of criminology, sociology, justice policy, and criminal justice.

Journal of Qualitative Criminal Justice and Criminology (JQCJC)
…Qualitative…Criminology (QC) is short for The Journal of Qualitative Criminal Justice and Criminology, an open access journal. QC is free for the academic community and the public to read. Since 2013, we are the best journal devoted to qualitative criminal justice and criminology. We publish peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary research on making laws, breaking them, and societal and cultural reaction. We also publish work on criminal justice processes, systems, and the personnel who administer criminal justice. Our publications inform criminal justice and criminological concepts, theories, methods, policies, and practices. We focus on research that analyzes non-numerical information to improve knowledge and understanding. We also publish research that combines qualitative with quantitative methods, or uses quantitative methods to analyze qualitative criminal justice and criminology.
