Pleased that The Criminologist published @HeCopes & my article on the "Transparency trade-off: the risks of Criminology’s new data sharing policy". As board members of #Criminology we felt it was important to discuss possible implications for qualitative researchers &participants.

Great new edited collection out! And, I have a chapter on photo methods with @davis_alexp.
The volume introduces innovative and inspired qualitative methods through topics on crime commission, victimisation and crime control. It highlights how qual methods are well suited to analyse current topics. And includes stellar authors and contributions.
