Empirical Research Methods

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.

Forms Of Knowledge

This chapter examines the means by which different forms of knowledge are created in criminology and what it means to know about crime, with particular emphasis on the empirical research methods used by criminologists. It also discusses the complex interplay between subjectivity, supposition, and study in producing knowledge in criminology; the benefits and limitations of different research study methods on the creation of criminological knowledge; criminological theory as knowledge; and various research methods in criminology such as experiments, surveys, bservations, and secondary analysis. Finally, it considers how subjectivity, supposition, and study interact with, and impact on, understanding and knowledge production in criminology.

The article presents analytical data on the assessment of cargo turnover on the territory of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the study is to analyze the dynamics of changes in the main indicators that characterize the situation in this area: transportation of goods by road, evaluation of elements of the national project "Safe and high-quality roads" and factors that influence the studied indicators. The paper uses empirical research methods: observation, comparison, and modeling. According to the results of the study, the main conditions that affect the volume of cargo turnover in the regions of Russia are highlighted.

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. Rapat Umum Pemegang Saham (RUPS), pada pokoknua dibuat dalam bentuk akta asli yang dibuat didepan seorang notaris atau disertakan pada notulensi rapat berupa akta dibawah tangan dimana selanjutnya akta tersebut diubah menjadi akta otentik. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian empiris dengan cara melakukan wawancara kepada Notaris berdasarkan pengalamannya dalam membuat akta pernyataan tersebut dengan demikian rumusan masalah yang dibuat untuk membatasi dan membuat lebih fokus dalam pelaksanaan penelitian adalah mengenai tanggung jawab notaris dalam hal pembuatan akta terkait dengan rapat umum pemegang saham, serta mengkaji aspek perlindungan yang diperoleh seorang notaris terkait pembuatan akta tersebut. Kesimpulan yang diperoleh dari penelitian adalah bahwa menurut Pasal 15 Undang-Undang Nomor 2 Tahun 2014 tentang Jabatan Notaris,  Notaris mempunyai kewenangan dalam membuat Akta Pernyataan Keputusan Rapat Umum Pemegang SahamPerseroan Terbatas dan akan menjadi akta otentik jika dibuat kedalam bentuk akta notariil yang disebut Akta Pernyataan Keputusan Rapat Umum Pemegang Saham.

Purpose Learning about sustainable development in dedicated curricula can be beneficial for students’ personal and professional development and societies alike. However, for various reasons the implementation of sustainable development modules in existing curricula can be difficult in many fields of study. This paper aims to propose an alternative route to give students the chance to learn about sustainable development without the need to change the structure of their study program. Design/methodology/approach The current paper elaborates on the idea that many fields of study have mandatory courses on empirical research methods and these courses can function as a platform to teach applied empirical research methods in combination with education on sustainable development. A three-phase model is proposed to implement sustainable development topics in existing curricula, taking students’ current methodological competency level into account. Findings The proposed model provides a chance to combine education on sustainability with thorough training in scientific research methods. Example projects and evaluation results from an existing social science curriculum and its integration into a real-world laboratory on sustainable energy use illustrate the different phases and their goals. Originality/value The model offers the opportunity to implement education on sustainability into existing curricula without the need for difficult structural changes. It extends students’ learning on sustainability without impairing their learning of research methods. A discussion of the model’s limitations and boundary conditions helps to understand its potential use cases and challenges.
