A deep understanding of the various perspectives on crime and crime control will influence the way researchers approach the study of criminological phenomena. Acknowledging the importance of engaging with the perspective of the people and communities that are part of the study, qualitative approaches that elicit in-depth data and that are culturally appropriate such as Kaupapa Maori and Pacific approaches will be considered as a means of investigation. Also, focusing on giving the student ethical insight into the theoretically based assumptions made about how to conduct criminological research, this course will also provide an in-depth examination of ethical strategies designed to overcome the barriers that criminal justice systems often place in the way of research.
