Interviewing Elites, Experts and the Powerful in Criminology “This book is destined to become a classic in interviewing approaches and techniques. The material is essential for all students, academics, or practitioners interested or engaged in qualitative research. Interviewing powerful people involves understanding the complexities that are fully explored and explained in this reader-friendly work. The who, what, why, and how of using interviewing methodologies and learning from failures and successes are essential to the substantive power of the text. Readers will appreciate the detail, organization, and big picture moments that apply to numerous social science fields. Kudos to the authors for their inspiration and successful efforts.” —Mary Dodge, PhD, University of Colorado Denver, USA “The book by Olga, Rita and Yarin succeeds in combining methodological reflection on elite and expert interviews with practical guidelines on how to prepare, conduct and analyse these interviews. Their book provides students and scholars alike with a well structured and easily accessible textbook on when and how to use elite or expert interviews. Although it has a certain focus on criminology, the book will serve a much wider social science audience.” —Prof. Leo Van Audenhove, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium
