Research Ethics in Criminology

While few criminologists have written about or even taught research ethics (Rhineberger, 2006), there is an oral tradition as criminologists–like many other researchers–swap stories about their dealings with various research ethics and research committees.

As a result, little time has been spent describing positive interactions and not much systemic effort has been invested in exchanging models of good practice..
