Researching ‘Hidden Populations’: Reflections of a Quantitative Researcher in Understanding ‘Established’ and ‘Immigrant’ Groups’ Perceptions of Crime and Social (Dis)Order

Griffiths, Clare E.

Abstract

Re flexivity is often considered a ‘vital counterpoint… to the positivist, quan- titative agenda’ Qewkes 2012, 69). The aim of this chapter however is to provide a critical and reflexive account of a quantitative research project, that used supplementary qualitative methods, in order to demonstrate the value of reflexivity in quantitative and mixed methods research.
