Reviews
'This book contributes to the formal research methodology literature by offering actual examples where specific methods have been employed, which provides excellent perspective on why certain methods are beneficial over others.' - Jon M. Shane, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, USA
'This is an important book which discusses the problems of researching an organisation such as the police. It is a timely and important work given the fact that policing is moving towards a professionalisation based upon the idea of evidence based decision making which is reliant upon sound methodological reasoning'. - Tracey Green, Australian Graduate School of Policing and Security, Australia
