Conclusion: Researchers and the Making of Political Worlds. 330 $aIn this book, Liz Turner argues that survey methods have gained an unwarranted and unhealthy level of dominance when it comes to understanding how the public views the criminal justice system. The focus on measuring public confidence in criminal justice by researchers, politicians and criminal justice agencies has tended to prioritise the production of quantitative representations of general opinions, at the expense of more specific, qualitative or deliberative approaches. This has occurred not due to any inherent methodological superiority of survey-based approaches, but due to the congruence of the survey-based, general measure of opinion with the prevailing neoliberal political tendency to engage with citizens as consumers. By identifying the historical conditions on which contemporary knowledge claims rest, and tracing the political power struggles out of which sprang the idea of public confidence in criminal justice as a real and measurable object, Turner shows that things could be otherwise. She also draws attention to the ways in which survey researchers have asserted their dominance over other approaches, suppressing convincing claims by advocates of deliberative methods that a better politics of crime and justice is possible. Ultimately, Turner concludes, researchers need to be more upfront about their political objectives, and more alert to the political responsibilities that go along with the making of knowledge claims. Providing a provocative critique of the dominant approaches to measuring public confidence, this timely study will be of special interest to scholars of the criminal justice system, research methods, and British politics. 410 0$aCritical Criminological Perspectives 606 $aCriminal justice, Administration of 606 $aMass media and crime 606 $aCrime?Sociological aspects 606 $aCriminology 606 $aResearch 606 $aPublic policy 606 $aGreat Britain?Politics and government 606 $aCriminal Justice$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BB010 606 $aCrime and the Media$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BA000 606 $aCrime and Society$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B3000 606 $aResearch Methods in Criminology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BF000 606 $aPublic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911060 606 $aBritish Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911120 607 $aGreat Britain$2fast 615 0$aCriminal justice, Administration of. 615 0$aMass media and crime. 615 0$aCrime?Sociological aspects. 615 0$aCriminology. 615 0$aResearch. 615 0$aPublic policy. 615 0$aGreat Britain?Politics and government. 615 14$aCriminal Justice. 615 24$aCrime and the Media. 615 24$aCrime and Society. 615 24$aResearch Methods in Criminology. 615 24$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aBritish Politics. 676 $a347.4105 700 $aTurner$b Elizabeth R$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0995619 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300047803321 996 $aPublic Confidence in Criminal Justice$92281426 997 $aUNINA
