LAW383   Introducing Criminological Research   (20 credits)

Description

Criminology is notable for the considerable number of different methods of research which have been used, ranging from participant observation and anthropological methods to national surveys, such as the British Crime Survey. The module is designed to explore the use of each of the principal methods and their associated levels of theory and explanation so that students will be able to judge whether a published study is methodologically adequate and will be able to take decisions themselves about which methods should be used for which kind of problem.
