Research Methods: Studying Urban Crime examines aspects of crime from a variety of perspectives and describes how researchers can conduct effective and valuable research in the discipline. Utilising an urban context, the contributed chapters provide strategies for exploring various elements of crime and a solid knowledge base on crime-related topics. It also showcases methodological approaches to investigate the main topic of each chapter.

Select chapters cover topics and methods using qualitative data while others employ quantitative data. Topics addressed include social attitudes toward sex offenders, the impact of incarceration on an individual's labour market prospects, studying tax cuts and links to crime in large cities, studying violence crime victims' satisfaction with the police, the feminisation of urban crime, and more. Every chapter contains key terms, an introduction, a chapter summary, discussion questions, and references to enhance student comprehension and engagement.

Featuring the scholarship of knowledgeable experts within the discipline, Research Methods is an ideal supplemental reader for courses that address research methods in criminal justice and criminology.
