Doing Criminological Research Reviews

As criminological inquiry continues to broaden, deepen and diversify its presence within and across the social sciences, this third and substantially up-dated edition of 'Doing Criminological Research' is an indispensable source. Its range and scope, together with the authority of its coverage and analysis, render it a tour de force. Essential reading for entry level, and more experienced researchers, alike.

-- Barry Goldson, Charles Booth Chair of Social Science, University of Liverpool
The third edition of Francis and Davies' Doing Criminological Research will be a standard resource for British criminologists for years to come and an indispensable teaching tool. Its scope is comprehensive, its coverage is up-to-date, and its writers are first-rate. The editors have served the discipline well. -- Rossella Selmini, University of Minnesota, Past President European Society of Criminology
Peter Francis and Pamela Davies have done a great service to the criminological field by publishing this comprehensive and updated research textbook, bridging qualitative and quantitative methods, literature review and methodological innovation, politics and ethics, writing and autobiography, longitudinal and life-course research, big-data and ethnographical studies, visual and international research, case and evaluation studies. -- Professor Liqun Cao, University of Ontario Institute of Technology

The third edition of Doing Criminological Research provides a collection of high quality, reflective and accessible accounts of doing criminological research. This is a must read for anyone embarking on a research project. Contributors provide clear guidance on how to turn research ideas into research projects and insights into doing criminological research in new, innovative, dynamic and novel ways. Engendering a sense of excitement for students and scholars, this collection does much to stir the criminological imagination.

-- Dr Marisa Silvestri, Reader in Criminology, University of Kent

About Pamela Davies

Professor Pamela Davies' research interests coalesce around gender, crime, harm, victimization and justice. Combining her interest in victimology and social harm with a critical/feminist infused approach she has explored a range of contemporary social problems - both visible and hidden. Her early research explored female offending and the inter-play between women's offending patterns and experiences of victimization. More recently she has examined tensions around social and environmental justice adopting a case study approach. She has lead a number of research projects and evaluations of multi-agency innovations that tackle gendered forms of harm including interpersonal violence, domestic abuse, the policing of serial perpetrators and support for victims. The ways in which gender mediates our life experiences continues to provoke new areas of inquiry and she is currently working with colleagues on 'gendering green criminology'. Pam has published widely on the subject of victimization and social harm and on how gender connects to matters of community safety, public protection and well-being. Her most recent books are Crime and Power authored with Tanya Wyatt and Victimology Research Policy and Activism edited with Jacki Tapley. She is the series editor of the Palgrave Macmillan 'Victims and Victimology' book series (with Associate Professor Tyrone Kirchengast, University of New South Wales, Sydney). Peter has worked at Northumbria University since 1994 and before that at the Universities of Leicester and Hull. He gained his undergraduate degree from Northumbria University and studied at postgraduate level at Hull University. Between 2002 and 2008 he was a Senior Advisor to the Home Office and has been a council member and trustee of the independent charity the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies, Kings College, London since 1996.
