Applied Photovoice in Criminal Justice

"Accessible, authoritative, and theoretically informed, Applied Photovoice in Criminal Justice is a much-needed, practical guide to this increasingly important research technique. Drawing on material from across a range of projects, the text is enlivened with examples demonstrating the critical potential of the method. It is a must buy for students and scholars alike."

Eamonn Carrabine, Professor of Sociology, University Of Essex

"Visual literacy has become as important a research skill as analysing interviews and interpreting statistics. Wendy Fitzgibbon not only explains how to understand images in criminal justice, but equips the reader with new skills and, using international examples, demonstrates how those without 'voice' can co-produce new knowledge through Photovoice."

Anne Worrall, Emerita Professor of Criminology, Keele University

"Participant Action Research by visual means is finally being passionately advocated within criminology. Wendy Fitzgibbon`s newest book is a compelling, informative and internationally concerned guide to a cutting-edge research approach. It is necessary reading for anyone interested in doing research within public and visual criminology."

Bettina Paul, Senior Researcher in Criminological Social Research at the Universitaet Hamburg

"Building on the author's pioneering work in criminological research, this book provides an exploration and overview of Photovoice as a participatory research approach. In the context of an increased emphasis on the importance of co-production within the criminal justice system and in allied fields, this book by Wendy Fitzgibbon provides a timely and important contribution."
