Promoting qualitative research in criminology and criminal justice.

[The Jack-Roller @QualCrim]

In case y'all missed it, Crime and Delinquency has two issues devoted to qualitative research edited by @Stu_Kokkalera @DrJWilliams4 and Cassandra Mary Frances Gonzalez. First issue is out. https://t.co/j1FuDFoZjl

We have a new paper out on the consequences of the COVID-19 ban on visits in Mexican prisons: It stops men from receiving necessities and women from providing for their children outside of prison (paywall, so write me a message if you want a copy)

@naturally_crime Yeah, it is tricky and something we usually don't discuss. I never see authors acknowledge they give questions or topics in advance so it hard to tell how common it is.

[The Jack-Roller @QualCrim]

Has anyone given interview questions to participants beforehand? What are the strengths and limitations of doing so?

[Kevin Haggerty @kevindhaggerty]

Fantastic lineup for this week's (free, open to anyone to attend) conference on prisons and punishment. https://t.co/opaFeVXIVW @CommCrim @BritSocCrim @ASAnews @ASCRM41

@fadergator I think it is our job to help them learn the information and to think critically. I’d rather assess them on their best product. Sometimes that means extensions. I don‘t see teaching them the value of deadlines as my job. They are adults.

[Sveinung Sandberg @SveinungSandbe1]

If you need another story these days: Check out our new paper on stories (or dreams) of fatherhood in Mexican prisons. Open access!

We've seen official and media reports, as well as scholarly commentary, on COVID19 in prison, but what do people who are incarcerated have to say?

In this new article we share prisoners' accounts of risks and responses.

Definitely worth attending.

[Jason Williams @DrJWilliams4]

This is a very important and timely topic for researchers across disciplines. So happy to be sharing space with the BRILLIANT, Dr. Monique Guishard, who is an absolute GURU on this topic 🙌! There will be panels. See this link to reg & for more details: https://t.co/BioSFWu6nW

[The Jack-Roller @QualCrim]

More good work from the narrative criminology folks!

[Sveinung Sandberg @SveinungSandbe1]

We have a new paper out on how psychedelics users transform "bad trips" into something good. Reflects a general psychological tendency to try to make something good out of difficult circumstances that may be helpful for everyone in these strange times..

The description of the book sold it for me! Definitely worth checking out if you teach qual methods or want to learn more

[Dr. Ashley T. Rubin @ashleytrubin]

I am THRILLED to see my #qualmeth book, #RockingQualSocSci, is on the @stanfordpress website! And check out that awesome cover art!! (It's not me, btw.) #methods #sociology #criminology #interdisciplinary https://t.co/gW66fAc89J

@heyDrWil Why not try JCJE?

[The Jack-Roller @QualCrim]

@QCriminology @callie_h_burt Share the data! Can lead to new insights when looked at from new perspective. But, there does seem to be something personal about interviews that makes people hesitant to share.

[The Jack-Roller @QualCrim]

@DrBradMcKenna Neither. Use the major theme that is being discussed for the heading.

[The Jack-Roller @QualCrim]

@heyDrWil And that led my brain to...

[The Jack-Roller @QualCrim]

@QCriminology @DrAndreaAllen True! Who will be the first to get it through IRB? Then y'all can tell us how to do it.

[The Jack-Roller @QualCrim]

This is really interesting use of audio interviews. It has some implications for how we seek IRB approvals. I suspect most of us delete the audio as a means of confidentiality. Has anyone got approval to keep and play audio?

[Andrea Allen @DrAndreaAllen]

Wish you could hear participants, not just read what they say? 👂 Well now you can!!! 🤙 To help get you started, I wrote this editorial on how to make and merge audio clips. 🤝 https://t.co/nVlnC87Tl2
