See for instance, Hall et al's study of "Carville" in their (2008) book Criminal Identities and Consumer Culture.I also recommend this recent publication by Thomas Dekeyser and Bradley L Garrett onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/area.12411/pdf Best wishes,--On Mon, Dec 4, 2017 at 10:24 AM, Mattias De Backer <[log in to unmask]> wrote:Dear critters,
I am currently working on an action research project on a very sensitive topic with vulnerable young people.
Our gatekeepers feel that the topic is so sensitive and potentially stigmatising for the entire local community, that it would be best to not only anonymize the participants but also the entire case study.
This would result in a sort of mixture of fact and fiction, where references to the social and geographical case study are replaced by fictional data.
Has anyone encountered such an ethical predicament and if so how have you managed to creatively sort it out?
Can anyone suggest useful publications about ethical dilemma's of this nature?
Thanks in advance!
