results of both show distinct differences....

BEST PRACTICES IN CONDUCTING QUALITATIVE RESEA RCH
Qualitative research is quite hard to define,
because the terms used have very little
similarities with ordinary science (OConnor 2004).
One attempt at definition is that of it involving
methods of data collection and analysis that are
non-quantitative, one that uses unreconstructed
logic to get what is really real the quality,
meaning, context, or images of reality in what
people actually do, not what they say they do
(OConnor 2004). It is said...

Cross Sectional Criminal Justice

The career criminal, or, more pointedly, those
individuals who participate in criminal acts on a
regular basis for both a central and constant
source of income has, generally, a specific set of
identifying factors which, while conclusive in
laymen's terms, fail to meet the criteria

output. This output is then inserted back into the
function as an input and the process is repeated
infinitely. Fractals often exhibit
self-similarity. This means that e...
