Choosing time to conduct research |
time of study may influence responses
Determine when to conduct study and how that time frame will influence the study |
|
Choosing Research Site |
At a single site: Advantage - allows a researcher to gain deeper information about a single institution Disadvantage - will be limited to a single snapshot of a single place at a single time Key - avoid unwarranted generalizations
Multiple sites: Advantages - allows for breadth of exposure and for comparisons across sites Disadvantages - possible to miss issues arising at later sites because researchers are already aware of and over familiar with them from earlier sites (hearing them all before). also risks superficiality when moving from one site to another and the possibility of not getting an in depth understanding of any one place.

Factors to consider when sampling |
The time factor -(time between samples)
The population factor -(the population is to large so sample group is required)
The accessibility factor -(access to a population is limited - criminal org) |
|
Qualitative Sampling method |
Theoretical sampling - designed to generate theory. carried out during data collection and is grounded in data
Purposeful sampling - selecting information-rich cases for study in depth. when the goal is to understand something and when generalization is unnescessary. done prior to data collection and is based upon the research tradition and research question
Probabilistic Sampling (also called simple random sample) - method of selecting individuals to include in a study. each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected
