Title: | Applying Ethical Principles in Researching a Vulnerable Population: Homeless Women in Brisbane | Contributor(s): | Menih, Helena (author) | Publication Date: | 2013 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/20499 | Abstract: | This article focuses on the ethics of doing ethnographic research within a vulnerable population, specifically homeless women. In this article I reflect on a number of ethical dilemmas that occurred during the fieldwork related to exclusion criteria, recruitment process, informed consent, the participant-researcher relationship and the researcher's safety. Through self-reflection I explore how applying ethical principles to researching a vulnerable population raises difficult questions. The aim of this article is to encourage further debate about the application of ethical principles when researching a vulnerable population. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Current Issues in Criminal Justice, 25(1), p. 527-539 | Publisher: | University of Sydney, Sydney Institute of Criminology | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 2206-9542 1034-5329 |
