The Wiley Series of Encyclopedias in Criminology & Criminal Justice
Das umfassendste Referenzwerk zu Forschungsdesign und -methoden in Kriminologie und Strafjustiz
Die Encyclopedia of Research Methods in Criminology and Criminal Justice bietet einen umfassenden Überblick darüber, welche Forschungsmethoden und statistischen Verfahren in der Kriminologie und den Strafjustizsystemen rund um die Welt bevorzugt zur Anwendung kommen. Das Werk enthält Beiträge von führenden Wissenschaftlern und Fachleuten auf dem Gebiet und vermittelt damit einen gründlichen Einblick in die Techniken, die heutzutage verwendet werden, um drängende Fragen in der Kriminologie und Strafjustiz zu beantworten.
Mit den Beiträgen zahlreicher unterschiedlicher Autoren vermittelt die Encyclopedia grundlegende Informationen über Forschungsdesigns, die auf qualitativen und quantitativen Methoden beruhen. Dargestellt werden zudem beliebte Datensätze und die zentralen Quellen staatlicher Statistiken. Zugleich befassen sich die Beiträge mit einem breiten Spektrum an Themen, u.a. mit der neuesten Forschung zum Zusammenhang zwischen Waffen und Kriminalität, der Theorie der rationalen Entscheidung und der Nutzung von Technologien wie der Geodatenkartierung als Mittel zur Verbrechensbekämpfung. Das unverzichtbare Nachschlagewerk bietet:
- einen umfassenden Überblick über Forschungsdesign, Forschungsmethoden und statistische Verfahren im internationalen Vergleich
- Beiträge von führenden Fachleuten auf dem Gebiet
- Daten zur Kriminologie und Strafjustiz von Cambridge bis Chicago
- Informationen über die Todesstrafe, häusliche Gewalt, die Kriminalwissenschaft und vieles mehr
- Ansätze, um Verbrechen besser zu verstehen, zu erklären und zu verhindern
The Encyclopedia of Research Methods in Criminology and Criminal Justice richtet sich an Studierende, Promovierende und Wissenschaftler und ist damit das erste Nachschlagewerk, das einen umfassenden Überblick über dieses wichtige Thema vermittelt.
