Indeed I do not hesitate to say that it has done more to enhance our understandings of the challenges of urban life and urban inequality than any other media event or scholarly publication, including studies by social scientists…The Wire develops morally complex characters on each side of the law, and with its scrupulous exploration of the inner workings of various institutions, including drug-dealing gangs, the police, politicians, unions, public schools, and the print media, viewers become aware that individuals’ decisions and behaviour are often shaped by - and indeed limited by - social, political, and economic forces beyond their control". Professor William Julius Wilson, Harvard University Seminar about The Wire, 4th April 2008.

As a case in point, the teaching of research methods at AS encourages students to think in fairly basic, clear-cut, terms about the “advantages” and “disadvantages” of various research methods – such as, in this instance, overt participant observation. Using Venkatesh’s “Gang Leader for a Day” (2009) we can demonstrate that although research methods may have distinctive advantages and disadvantages, the reality is not always quite as neat and clearly-defined as we may have suggested at AS level… A2 students will be familiar with participant observation (both overt and covert) as a research He was almost immediately surrounded by a group method and will, at various points, have been of young black men he later came to understand introduced to a range of crime and deviance studies belonged to the Black Kings – a well-organised that have employed this method (such as William gang that controlled a significant part of the drug Whyte’s “Street Comer Society” and James trade in a territory dominated by the Robert Taylor Patrick’s “Glasgow Gang Observed).

Rocky Colavito While a graduate student in Sociology at the University of Chicago, Sudahir Venkatesh took a research survey into the Lake Park projects. What he got instead of answers to the survey questions was an extended friendship with JT, one of the leaders of a local gang, and what grew out of this friendship serves as the basis for what's reported in this thought-provoking book. Venkatesh provides an unflinching look into the way of life in one of Chicago's most oppressed neighborhoods, one that abhors the culture of drugs and violence yet comes to depend on the fruits that these deliver.

It examines the rationality behind criminal choices, how governments seek to control crime, alternatives to state-enforcement of criminal law, and how crime affects regions characterized by failed or weak states. Economics provides analytical tools to understand the observed variation in economic activity, the organizational structure of criminal activity, and their broader consequences. 1 Educational aims The aims of this course are to: • to introduce students to the tools of economic analysis that are most relevant for understanding criminal behavior • to develop an understanding of how the economic way of thinking can be used to analyze both historical and contemporary episodes of crime • to provide students with basic tools for understanding statistical research findings • to understand what is unique about illicit markets compared to legal markets • to enable students to draw out the broader implication of their analyses of crime for politics and policy-making.

INTRODUCTION Despite the enormous toll of gun violence in America, shockingly little is known about what works to reduce gun violence or the illegal gun markets that put guns in dangerous hands. Research suggests that a typical crime gun is likely to be involved in a series of transactions between its first legal purchase from a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) and its recovery by police.

  • Three Models of Transparency in Ethnographic Research: Naming Places, Naming People, and Sharing Data
    Three Models of Transparency in Ethnographic Research: Naming Places, Naming People, and Sharing Data Abstract Ethnographic research consists of multiple methodological approaches, including short- and/or long-term participant observation, interviews, photographs, videos, and group field work, to name a few. Yet, it is commonly practiced as a solitary endeavor and primary data is not often subject to scholarly scrutiny. In this paper, I suggest a model in which to understand the different ways in which ethnographies can be transparent—naming places, naming people, and sharing data—and the varied decisions ethnographers have made with regard to them: whether to name a region, city or specific neighborhood, name primary participants or public officials, and to share interview guides, transcripts, or different kinds of field notes. In doing so, this paper highlights how decisions regarding transparency are part of an ethnographer’s methodological toolkit, and should be made on a case-by-case basis depending on the who, what, where, when and why of our research. Key Words: Methodology, toolkit, social science, transparency, ethnographic models Victoria Reyes, University of California, Riverside, 1204 Watkins Hall, Riverside, CA 92521, [email protected] Acknowledgments: I’d like to thank Martín Sánchez-Jankowski, Loïc Wacquant, my fellow participants at the 2016 Innovations in Ethnographic Methodology conference at the Center for Ethnographic Research, University of California, Berkeley: Ben Carrington, Corey M Abramson, Alasdair Jones, Bryan Sykes, Anjuli Verma, Cassandra Hartblay, Andrew LaFave, and Elizabeth Mainz, and the anonymous reviewers for helpful comments on the paper.
