Reliability and Validity in Qualitative Research - Marc L. Miller - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Reliability and Validity in Qualitative Research - Marc L. Miller - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Authors Jerome Kirk and Marc L. Miller define what is—and what is not—qualitative research. They suggest that the use of numbers in the process of recording and analyzing observations is less important than that the research should involve sustained interaction with the people being studied, in their own language and on their own turf. Following a chapter on objectivity, the authors discuss the role of reliability and validity and the problems that arise when these issues are neglected. They present a paradigm for the qualitative research process that makes it possible to pursue validity without neglecting reliability.

Evaluating Program Effectiveness - Marc T. Braverman - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Evaluating Program Effectiveness - Marc T. Braverman - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

The book shows how to apply validity concepts when planning and conducting an evaluation, thereby making sure that the evaluation stays true to the purposes for which it was initiated. Marc T. Braverman demonstrates that evaluating with validity means being able to answer the evaluation questions in a way that is useful, accurate, and reflective of the information needed from the evaluation. His approach is practical, with the goal of helping evaluators to conduct high-quality outcome evaluations, and he illustrates concepts with case study examples drawn from studies of intervention effectiveness over many years. The book begins by looking at the ways that validity is conceptualized and the uses to which it is put. Subsequent chapters analyze separate phases of the outcome evaluation process and the critical decisions about design and analysis that are typically required.

Parties, Politics, and Public Policy in America - Marc J. Hetherington - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Parties, Politics, and Public Policy in America - Marc J. Hetherington - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

With revitalized and stronger political parties should we see more effective and accountable government? Despite the resurgence of parties in America, charges of irresponsible and unreliable government remain. Why the disconnect? In Parties, Politics, and Public Policy in America , Marc Hetherington along with new coauthor Bruce Larson explore this question, while giving students an overview of how parties work and shape public policymaking in America. In this eleventh edition, Hetherington and Larson provide more in-depth coverage of the parties’ functions in Congress and campaign finance. In addition, the authors examine developments in the 2008 nomination and election contests—generational voting patterns, shifts in the red-blue divide, and the possibility of a partisan realignment. No other book for this course combines the breadth of scholarship with the brevity and accessibility found here.

Research Strategies for Secondary Data - Marc Riedel - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Research Strategies for Secondary Data - Marc Riedel - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Until now, books on secondary data have described sources of secondary data with an emphasis on description that had little to do with crime and deviance. Research Strategies for Secondary Data changes all that because it is designed specifically for secondary data users in criminology and criminal justice. In addition to describing data sources available through archives and the Internet, it provides a perspective on secondary data. This perspective consists of discussing the role of secondary data in criminology and criminal justice, its strengths, limitations, and the different ways that secondary data can be disaggregated and interpreted. The book also discusses the nature of hypotheses and design as they relate to the constraints of secondary data. There are chapters devoted to evaluation guidelines for official statistics and official records, how official records, such as police department files, can be accessed, and the legal implications of using secondary data in light of legislation like the Freedom of Information Acts.

Government at Work - Kathe Callahan - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Government at Work - Kathe Callahan - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book presents persuasive arguments in support of public service and those who work within it. The authors argue that some services are only appropriate to government control: public safety, highways, armed and emergency services, parks, and public schools. Other services are operated/undertaken by government in response to problems that society and the private sector have failed to solve: housing, transportation, clean air and water, and so on. In both instances, the public sector requires complex problem-solving processesùnever simple solutionsùand, despite the negative images of (bumbling) bureaucrats imprinted on the public consciousness, Government at Work shows how public servants do difficult jobs well. Marc Holzer and Kathe Callahan compile evidence that creativity, productivity, and excellence are not strangers to, but often characteristic of, government programs. The public sectorÆs innovative problem-solving should be exploited in the attack on complex problems as they emerge in our society.
