Dvora Yanow, Peregrine Schwartz-Shea (eds.): Interpretation and Method. Empirical Research Methods and the Interpretive Turn

This chapter investigates how researchers create knowledge in criminology. It covers two themes: first, the empirical research methods used in the discipline, and how understanding and knowledge of crime can be developed by applying, analysing, and evaluating criminological information. Secondly, the chapter discusses how this knowledge and understanding is influenced by the three important and interlinking factors of subjectivity (personal and disciplinary perspectives and opinions), supposition (guesswork, assumption), and study (for example, scholarship and conducting empirical and other types of research). ‘Empirical methods’ are the generation of evidence through (sensory) experience, particularly using experiments and observations. The chapter looks at the different research methods available to criminologists, covering both primary and secondary sources.

Over Time

The cultural studies tradition is a big tent that is defined by academic realpolitik and feelings of affinity or disaffinity as much as anything else. This article recounts my own introduction to and professionalization within the field of cultural studies and, more particularly, how my relationship to empirical research methods changed over time. I ultimately want to argue for the importance of staying grounded in the analysis of real people’s real experiences of culture.

Made In

General Meeting of Shareholders (GMS), in principle, is made in the form of an original deed carried out in front of a notary or included in the meeting minutes in the form of a deed under the hand wherein the deed is converted into an authentic deed. This study uses empirical research methods by conducting interviews with Notaries based on their experience in making the statement deed, so the formulation of the problem made to limit and make more focus in conducting research is about the notary's responsibility in making deeds related to the general meeting of shareholders, as well as reviewing aspects of protection obtained by a notary public regarding the deed. The conclusion obtained from the research is that according to Article 15 of Act Number 2 of 2014 concerning Notary Position, a Notary has the authority to make Deed of Decision of Limited General Meeting of Shareholders and will be an authentic deed if made in the form of a notarial deed called Decree of Decision General Meeting of Shareholders.
