The book is clearly structured, with each methodology chapter describing the background of the approach; the type of research questions addressed; design principles and issues; the types of analysis that can be utilised; strengths and limitations of the method; future directions and further sources of information. Through the inclusion of case studies and illustrative examples from forensic researchers and practitioners who have extensive experience of conducting applied research, this book tackles real-life problems typically faced by researchers and practitioners.
Research in Practice for Forensic Professionals is an essential one-stop resource for practitioners (such as psychologists, nursing and medical staff, prison and probation workers, social workers, occupational therapists) who have an interest in research and in evaluating their own work and the services in which they work. It will also be of interest to students studying areas of applied research, such as forensic psychology or applied criminology and those teaching them.

'There is no single way to do good research. The Editors of this text have taken a broad perspective, and contributions cover a wide range of research issues and specific methods applicable in forensic work. Chapters are authored by leading researchers, who explain their methods clearly, without sacrificing detail. This book will certainly be of use to students who are developing their research skills. I would also strongly recommend it to qualified practitioners who wish to gather information about their service users, evaluate their interventions, or better understand the systems in which they work with offenders. Whether your job is to catch and convict offenders, or to work with them to reduce risk, in this book you will find a way to answer some of the important questions you have no doubt asked in the past.' – Professor Mary McMurran, Institute of Mental Health, University of Nottingham
