Problem
Can you please comment on what I did well and what I could have done differently in the following response I wrote? Here is the question I had to respond to: What are some methods of collecting crime data? What are the strengths and weaknesses of these methods? And here is my response: Surveys, quizzes, questionnaires, Interviews, Focus groups, Direct observations, Documents, and records, to name a few it depends mainly on what the researcher targeted audience is and what they are trying to accomplish with the research and data.
Strengths of these methods include;
a) Cost-effectiveness
b) Generalizability
c) Reliability
d) Versatility
Weakness includes:
a) Very costly.
b) Very time-consuming.
c) Geographical limitations.
d) Possible interviewer bias.
e) Possible interpretation bias.
f) Possible acquiescence bias.
g) Respondents lose the feeling of anonymity.
