• Research as a Method Anecdotal Versus Empirical
  Data. 1st Post Due by Day 3. Within criminal
  justice, researchers are often faced with a
  plethora of anecdotal data with little empirical
  support for such assertions. We have all, no
  doubt, heard anecdotes pertaining to gang
  initiation rites, killers stalking baby sitters,
  or corpses discovered rolled in carpets by
  hapless hotel maids. Criminal justice researchers

  Qualitative Methods 
•  
• Qualitative research is fundamentally distinct
  from its quantitative counterpart. While
  quantitative research methods rely upon the
  conversion of observable phenomena into numeric
  data, qualitative analyses do not necessitate
  such a transformation of data points. Qualitative
  analysis offers a discriminating researcher a
  very nuanced approach to examining many specific
  social phenomena and is enjoying resurgence among
  researchers.

  Quantitative Methods 
•  
• Quantitative methods have been the traditional
  hallmarks of scientific inquiry. From an early
  age, we are all aware of the mathematical rigors
  involved in quantitative analyses. In the
  discipline of criminal justice, researchers
  utilize a variety of statistical tools with which
  to analyze empirical data. The inferences and
  conclusions that are drawn from such quantitative
  techniques have provided for empirically-based
  public policy, increased professionalism in law
  enforcement, and the development of more
  effective rehabilitative tools within

• In the field of criminal justice, it is a
  well-known fact that pure quantitative research
  cannot adequately touch upon the many, varied
  nuances of many of the topics covered by most
  research. In addition, most criminologists would
  dare say that purely qualitative research often
  proves inadequate for providing a thorough
  picture of current trends in the field.
