The following are three qualitative questions that I chose:
1. How does whistleblowing effect a police officers career?
2. Does police culture allow for rule bending on and off the job?
3. What causes some police officers to break the law?
The qualitative approach I would use for question one would be a collective case study. I think that this would be the most suitable approach, because while I would be interested in individual cases, a comparison to other similar cases would be most beneficial to understand the potential impact of whistleblowing. As described by the text, the primary purpose of a a collective case study is to understand a "phenomenon or event comparatively." (pg 358)
