ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This is the third edition of Doing Criminological Research, and the first one that does not have the name of Victor Jupp on the cover. Victor sadly passed away in 2012, and, although his name was listed as part of the editorial team for the second edition, Victor was not involved in its compilation, writing and production. In the six years since his death, we have concluded that the time is right to move forward with just the two of us as named co-editors. Yet, although Victor’s name does not adorn the cover, his influence continues to shape our thinking about doing criminological research. Victor’s book, Methods of Criminological Research, originally published in 1989 and reprinted on numerous occasions, remains, for us, one of the best research methods texts in criminol- ogy. Whilst dated, its quality lies, first, in its originality – it was one of the first published textbooks on methods in criminology; second, in the accessibility of its writing; third, in its depth of ideas and use of illustrations; and, finally, in its application of concepts, theo- ries and methods to real-world examples.

These qualities, we hope, continue to shape iterations of Doing Criminological Research. It has been our intention to produce a third edition that is as relevant today as it can be to students and academic colleagues studying and working in Higher Education, as well as to practitioners working in the criminal justice, voluntary and charitable sectors, and to those working in business and corporate institutions. We have broadened its reach and scope, deepened its examination of particular methods and methodologies, and located discussion of their application in a wider range of contemporary criminological topics. Feedback on earlier editions has consistently been excellent; and in writing this edition we have also tried to incorporate the helpful observations and recommendations from the various anonymous reviewers of the second edition. We would like to thank them for their helpful and thought- ful comments.
Of course, the key marker of any textbook is the quality, relevance and accessibility of the content. As we have done for every other edition of Doing Criminological Research, we identified a long list of researchers whose work we admired greatly, and whom we knew were involved in doing interesting, novel and high-quality research that is challenging, critical and reflective in equal measure, and importantly impactful both on the discipline and on wider society. In simple terms, we wanted to showcase some of the best work being carried out by criminologists from a range of countries. Each chapter demonstrates the power of having a criminological imagination and confirms the expertise of each contribu- tor in crafting accessible, exciting and impactful chapters that are not only insightful, but also tell it like it is. We would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of
them for their personal engagement with us as editors, for their belief in the impor- tance of telling their story in Doing Criminological Research (third edition), and for delivering chapters on time.
We would also like to take this opportunity to again thank Natalie Aguilera and Delayna Spencer at SAGE, both of whom have shown enormous belief in and com- mitment to us as academics. We would also like to extend our thanks to Sarah Cooke, Production Editor at SAGE, who has managed the process efficiently and effectively. We have had the pleasure of working with SAGE for 20 years now, and we look forward to extending our relationship into a third decade. Finally, we would like to extend our thanks to Gillian Howie, at Northumbria University, our colleague and friend, who has supported us in bringing Doing Criminological Research to a success- ful conclusion, liaising with contributors, managing the compilation of the manuscript and working with SAGE.
