Task 1 HA6
Quantitative research involves systematic empirical investigation of social phenomena using statistical, mathematical or computational methods to develop and test hypotheses. It aims to provide objective measurements and generalize results to larger populations. In contrast, qualitative research asks broad questions and collects narrative data from participants to develop an in-depth understanding of human behavior and the reasons behind it. It examines topics and patterns specific to a particular group rather than making generalized claims. Both quantitative and qualitative methods are used in social sciences, but quantitative methods rely more on empirical data and statistics while qualitative focuses more on understanding perspectives.

Qualitative research typically involves smaller sample sizes due to the observation-based methods used.
10814286 introduction-to-qualitative-research
This document provides an introduction to qualitative research methods. It explains that qualitative research aims to measure social phenomena numerically by analyzing numbers that represent features like attitudes and behaviors using statistical methods. Quantitative research designs like surveys and experiments are used to examine correlations between variables. Researchers remain independent and objective to prevent influencing results. The process takes a deductive approach, beginning with a hypothesis and using tests to see if it applies to a population. Data analysis involves reflection on numerical data to describe variables and test hypotheses. Qualitative research can produce valuable information but is very time consuming.

Understanding Research Methodology
In conducting social science research, the social scientist seeks to understand, and in turn explain, the world in which he or she lives. Rather than simply rely on what they observe and apply assumptions, beliefs, or general guesses to explain observations, social scientists approach this endeavor for an increased understanding using a systematic scientific method. Social scientists in the fields of homeland security, emergency management, and many others take this approach because it is their ultimate intention to go beyond their own personal understanding of why things happen. They want to inform others of these explanations and contribute to a greater body of knowledge. The purpose of developing, testing, and refining explanations for what is observed is to ultimately predict future behaviors or prescribe potential remedies for negative conduct in the form of policies.
Research methodology is comprised of the approaches, designs, plans, methods, and tools or instruments scientists will use to conduct their exploration. Remember that social science includes studying phenomena and activities related to emergency management, criminal justice, and homeland security. Consider an example to help understand this need for a systematic approach to studying your surroundings to devise a strategy or policy.
In this example, a planner known as Officer Lightly works in a local law enforcement department and is directed to develop a community policing plan with the intent to solicit and incorporate the assistance of citizens in reducing the annual number of property crimes each year. The former planner, Officer Grimly, had planned to develop a program based on his own beliefs about what would work. Officer Grimly simply briefed and published the plan to his department's leadership and then moved on to his next assignment. However, Officer Lightly is familiar with the scientific process and understands its value for tackling social science projects. Officer Lightly determines there is a wide assortment of objectives he might pursue, but he knows he needs to first start with a specific research question and then develop and test a hypothesis. Depending on the findings from his test of the hypothesis, he may proceed in his original direction or decide to take a different course.
Officer Lightly decides to craft two research questions and at least one hypothesis for each. He has formulated the following:
· Research Question 1 (R1): Where in the community do property crimes occur in the largest concentrations?
· Hypothesis 1 for R1: If an area in the community is low income, property crimes are higher.
· Research Question 2 (R2): What are citizens in areas of high crime currently doing in response to, or to protect against, property crimes?
· Hypothesis 1 for R2: If citizens act purposively to prevent property crime, they will not be victims of property crime.

Ethnography Infographic
Ethnography involves collecting data through observations and interviews of a group in its natural setting. The researcher determines their role and acquires permission to observe a police unit for a month. Field notes are taken and various data collection methods can be used, including observations, interviews, and document analysis. After data collection, common themes are extracted and interpreted to develop a rich understanding of the group's behaviors and context.
Scoping Review Infographic
This document provides guidance on conducting a scoping review to analyze Canadian policing research from 2006-2015. It instructs the reviewer to chart key details of included studies in a table, apply inclusion/exclusion criteria to narrow studies, and summarize findings by identifying themes, comparing results and noting gaps in the evidence. The goal is to map the nature and scope of existing research on Canadian policing.
An Intro to Research on Burglary
Burglary involves breaking into a home or other building to commit an offence. Research has identified 5 key factors that influence burglary: offender motives, familiarity with the area, occupancy of the target, signs of potential rewards, and features of the built environment. Burglars prefer targets that are unoccupied and in familiar areas, and they often re-offend at the same location. Effective crime prevention strategies include target hardening with security measures, neighborhood watches, and rapid police response. Police use of offender profiling, crime analysis, and proactive patrol of hot spots can also help reduce burglary rates and increase detection.
Harm focused policing
Harm-focused policing aims to allocate police resources based on the types of activities that cause the greatest harm in a community, rather than solely relying on crime counts. Traditional methods of evaluating police performance use crime statistics, but these can be problematic because they often treat all crimes as equally harmful. An alternative is to assess crime in terms of the harm caused to victims and communities. Researchers have developed harm indices that assign weights to different crime types based on measures like incarceration rates and average prison sentences to quantify relative harm. These indices allow police to identify areas and offenders responsible for the most harm so they can reallocate resources more cost-effectively. Several police agencies are testing this approach.
Evidence Based Policing - Intro
Evidence based policing (EBP) aims to develop effective policing strategies through rigorous scientific research. EBP originated from Lawrence Sherman's view that policing programs should be tested using randomized controlled trials. Key elements of EBP include targeting specific crime problems, testing solutions using research, tracking results over time, making research usable for police, and incorporating police experience into the research process. Tools like the Matrix and Crime Reduction Toolkit help police identify strategies that research has shown to be effective based on an assessment of existing studies. EBP can be applied to research a wide range of policing topics.

Qualitative & Quantitative Methods Quantitative example: by using a pre-test/post-test design, researchers were able to detect changes in youth gun homicides, shots fired calls and gun assaults to measure the effectiveness of Project Ceasefire in Boston Qualitative example: by using in-depth interviews with 50 experienced U.K. burglars, researchers were able to uncover how experienced-burglars: 1) choose to burgle a property, 2) select their targets, 3) search the property. Quantitative methods measure cause and effect; generalizable to larger groups; useful for studying large numbers of people, complex processes or things that are big in size or scope; validate existing theories. Qualitative methods provide rich, detailed descriptions, useful for studying smaller numbers of people or things; provides possible explanations for why certain phenomena occurred; captures nuance and context; generates ideas. Quantitative methods use numerical data and mathematical techniques to test the relationship between 2 or more factors. (“Yes” or “no” questions, often begin with “does”).. Qualitative methods Qualitative methods are a non-numerical approach to collecting, analyzing and interpreting data on a group, process or other social phenomena (Open-ended questions, often begin with “how” or “why”).
