ABSTRACT
This collection of original papers explores the application of qualitative research to a wide range of criminological topics, including traditional areas of criminological enquiry such as violent crime and topics which have only recently entered research agendas, for example, private policing. The publication of this volume in the Cardiff Papers in Qualitative Research series extends an established tradition of qualitative research at Cardiff which has already explored areas as diverse as gender, health and medicine, education and childhood.
