Factors and Conditions Influencing the Use of Research by the Criminal Justice System

Publication year: 2008 | Cataloged on: Oct. 09, 2008
ANNOTATION: The authors explain how the "residual practice of strictly following the language of operationalization when we present [criminological] research results to audiences beyond the discipline . . . has led to a number of confusions about the relationship of research (and researchers) to practice (and practitioners)" (p. 50). Sections of this article include: whither we are tending; talking about what works and how to do it; positivism and social science; explanations and applications in criminal justice; technology transfer in criminal justice; knowledge production; and what to do and how to do it.
