Qualitative method and compromise in applied social research
The article discusses the findings of interviews with researchers who use qualitative methods in social research contracts with public sector clients. Issues arising in research projects in relation to understandings of, and implementation of, qualitative methods are discussed. Researchers' reasons for choosing qualitative methods, conceptions of quality in qualitative research, and how they believe qualitative methods are perceived and used by c…
Crofter Forestry, Land Reform and the Ideology of Community
Government policy towards the crofting form of land tenure in Scotland is investigated in terms of the ideology of `community'. The example of `crofter forestry', the creation of woodland on crofts, is examined, and the assumptions of law and policy are contrasted with the experience of crofters themselves. A comparison is then made between the croft forestry legislation and later land reform legislation that applied not only to crofting tenure b…
Interpretation and the case study
Drawing on a psychodynamic relational perspective, Stanley in The Jack-Roller can be seen as propelled by multiple losses and the lack of early development through play into a defended position that can be characterized as schizoid—alternating between isolation and destructive patterns of relating. This is one interpretation of his situation. To utilize a relational approach, however, also challenges our view of interpretation. In a therapeutic c…
Anti‐Social Behaviour, Crime Control and Social Control
Measures introduced to tackle anti‐social behaviour have been described as crime control through the coming together of social housing management and policing. This suggests that a new form of social control is coming into effect. Taking Cohen's classic analysis of social control, it is possible to discern the extent to which the control of anti‐social behaviour is characterised by a blurring of boundaries, behaviourism, mesh‐thinning and net‐wid…
The Immobile Mass
Control over land and over labour can be supported by movement restrictions within territories. During the Israel Palestine conflict, the primary form of movement restriction that has been documented is closure to day migrant workers of the borders between Israel and the West Bank and Gaza Strip. In recent years, however, restrictions on movement throughout the West Bank have been applied to the general Palestinian population. International accom…
From Individual to Social Defences in Psychosocial Criminology
A psychosocial strand of criminology has emerged in recent years, which explores concepts such as fear of crime through analysis of individual biographies, and Freudian perspectives on punitive responses to offenders. It is possible to develop this psychosocial perspective further through an exploration of other central concepts such as conscience and reparation, and of a broader range of psychodynamic perspectives on the origins of anti-social t…
