RT Article T1 Preaching to the converted? Improving the persuasiveness of criminal justice research JF The British journal of criminology VO 37 IS 3 SP 359 OP 377 A1 Travers, Max LA English YR 1997 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1640120467 AB This paper advances an argument about the need to improve the persuasiveness of criminal justice research, through an examination of two qualitative studies on the police and defence lawyers. It is suggested that research which addresses a range of moral and political perspectives in the criminal justice system, and is more sensitive to the practical content of day-to-day work, offers the possibility of more effective policy interventions, and a more productive relationship between practitioners and academics K1 England K1 Polizeiforschung K1 Strafverteidigung K1 Praxisforschung K1 Theorie-Praxis
