The chapters in this collection provide insights into their substantive areas as well as provide diverse illustrative examples of best practices when conducting a QMS.This book will appeal to postgraduate students, academic researchers, qualitative methodologists, and criminal justice professionals seeking rigorous qualitative synthesis methods and diverse applications in criminology.
