The Quantitative/Qualitative Divide Revisited: A Study of Published Research, Doctoral Program Curricula, and Journal Editor Perceptions

Calculating the carbon footprint: Implications for governing emissions and gender relations

“…The appropriate numbers and selection of observations to consider in quantitative and qualitative research have been well discussed in the literature (Buckler, 2008;Crouch & McKenzie, 2006;M. Mason, 2010;Small, 2008Small, , 2009, and not all proponents agree in terms of meaning and usage.…”

Exploring Strategies for Qualitative Criminological and Criminal Justice Inquiry Using On‐Line Data

“…One of the inherent challenges in teaching qualitative methods is the process of data collection, which can be extremely labor-intensive and difficult to complete in the course of a single semester (see Wright and Stein 1996). The process of identifying prospective respondents, completing interviews, and transcribing these materials can take a significant amount of time, and may limit the focus placed on analysis techniques and strategies (see Buckler 2008;Wright and Stein 1996). The dearth of qualitative data sets available for secondary analyses through ICPSR also hinders access to existing data.…”

“…In recent years, there has been increasing significance placed on quantitative inquiry into both victims and offenders using advanced statistical techniques (Hagan and McCarthy 1997;Miller 2005). Traditional qualitative research on street crime and offending has become less prominent in the field despite its central role in many early explorations of crime and deviance in urban environments (Adler and Adler 1987;Buckler 2008;Kleck, Tark, and Bellows 2006;Miller 2005;Tewksbury, Dabney, and Copes 2010;Tewksbury, DeMichele, and Miller 2005). There has, however, been a revival of qualitative inquiry in criminology in the last two decades.…”

Toward a New Methodology for Legal Research in Criminal Justice

“…In criminal justice, quantitative methods have gained ground (Buckler 2008), with the Journal of Quantitative Criminology ranked in the top 10 of criminology and penology in 2008 by the Institute for Scientific Information. A recent study of seven leading criminology and criminal justice journals further showed that 75% of all published articles within a two-year period used multivariate statistical methods such as ordinary least squares, multiple regression, and logistic regression analysis (Kleck, Tark, and Bellows 2006).…”
