04 Dec Differentiate how observations, interviews, documents, and media forms facilitate the collection of data through qualitative methods

Your presentation during last week’s meeting with members of the public, business owners, town council members, and lawmakers centered on research design for quantitative methods.

However, some of the questions and issues discussed at the meeting led you and your colleagues to conclude that additional research design is needed to gain insight into the perceptions of members of the public on factors in community policing.

For these types of data, you have determined that you will need to construct a research design that utilizes qualitative methods. Your supervisors are asking you this week to explain why additional research design may be needed.

You and your colleagues have decided to present some examples of how qualitative methods are being used in other sectors of the justice system to underline their utilities. In preparation for the meeting later this week, you and your colleagues agree to discuss recent studies in criminal justice that use qualitative methods.
