The latest discussion from the Qualitative Methods Journal Club (QMJC) is now available online, and focuses on a study of abusive and violent policing among people who inject drugs. Of particular interest to the journal club was the use of ‘key informants’ in the research, and the decision by researchers to describe the social positioning of participants (e.g. their race and gender).
The Qualitative Methods Journal Club met in April to discuss a study about the link between structural vulnerability and experiences of abusive police encounters among people who inject drugs in California’s Central Valley.
