R. Longmire – Ethical Dilemmas in the Research Setting – “The frequency
with which criminological researchers are confronted with various ethical
dilemmas is ascertained through a survey of members of the American Society of
Criminology (ASC). The results of this survey reveal that approximately 63% of
those criminologists who have been active in research since 1975 have
experienced one or more of eight types of ethical dilemmas. Further analysis
demonstrates that criminologists favor developing a professional code of
conduct as well as some legal guidelines in this area. The majority of those
surveyed do not believe governmental regulations or a general sense of morality
among the researchers are effective mechanisms in preventing ethical dilemmas.”

Ethics and the governance of criminological research in Australia – “Many criminologists
have expressed serious concerns about the impact of research ethics governance
on their work. Drawing on written submissions and interviews with criminologists
and ethics administrators conducted in 2003 and 2004, this report examines:
the impact of research ethics governance on criminologists; major ethical issues
that criminologists encounter; and strategies for improving criminologists
understanding of ethical matters and the system that regulates them.”
- Curtis Fogel –Â Ethical Issues in
Field-Based Criminological Research in Canada – Â “In Canada, all research
involving human subjects requires approval from a formal ethics review board
before it can be conducted. Despite this, the body of literature relating to
ethics in social science research is marginal, particularly in relation to
research on crime and deviance. This paper contributes to this void in the
literature by exploring the ethical issues presented by field-based
criminological research. The issues examined include: eliciting sensitive information,
coercive potentials, the consequences of knowing, conflicts of interest, and
confidentiality and the possibility of subpoena. This paper argues that the
current ethics review framework in Canada often acts in contradicting ways
making it more difficult to conduct ethical criminological research.”

Pollock – Researching
White Supremacists Online: Methodological Concerns of Researching Hate `Speech`
- Researching crime online is a new frontier for criminologists, psychologists
and sociologists. This paper explains and describes a virtual ethnographic
study of white supremacists using a method best described as covert, invisible,
non-participatory observation.
The paper explains how difficult ethical issues were addressed in the study and
points the way forward for further research in this area.
- Ted Palys, John Lowman –Â Anticipating Law: Research
Methods, Ethics and the Law of Privilege – “Our ethical obligation to
protect the research confidentiality of individual articipants is challenged
when third parties use subpoenas in the context of criminal proceedings and
civil litigation in an effort to order the production of confidential
information. This paper discusses strategies researchers may employ in order to
maximize their legal ability to maintain confidentiality in spite of those
challenges. Use of existing statutory protections is the first choice, but
these are available for only a subset of research related to health and
criminal justice issues. In situations where statutory protections are not
available, the Wigmore criteria
may act as a guide for the design of research that maximizes researchers’
ability to protect research participants by advancing a case-by-case claim for
researcher-participant privilege. We discuss the legal basis for this
conclusion and outline procedures that may be used to further strengthen
confidentiality protections.”
- Ted Plays – Informed Consent,
Confidentiality and the Law: Implications of the Tri-Council Policy Statement
 –  publication is a polemic with a Tri-Council Policy Statement entitled Ethical
Conduct for Research Involving Humans. Â Author consider if there are any
exceptions from the rule of confidentiality. You can find here also many other
topics connected with ethic of criminological research including the issue of
the Wigmore Criteria.

Roberts, David Indermaur Signed
consent forms in criminological research: protection for researchers and ethics
committees but a threat to research participants? – “The use of signed
consent forms to indicate the informed consent of research participants is mandated
by most Human Research Ethics Committees and social science ethics codes. In thispresentation
we argue that the use of signed consent forms provides protection for researchers
and ethics committees by providing documentation that ethical procedures have
been followed, but poses problems for potential research participants,
especially offenders. There is a general reluctance amongst offenders to sign
consent forms, creating a barrier to participating in research. Consent forms
provide a record of participation in a research project, providing the
potential for research documentation to be subpoenaed. This is a threat to the
offender’s future wellbeing in research where offenders are asked to report on
illegal activities. Further, previous research (Mann, 1994) suggested that some
research participants believe they lose their rights to sue the researcher by signing
a consent form. We suggest an alternative option to signed consent forms that
provides greater protection of research participants’ confidentiality and
ensures informed consent.”
- Marvin E.Wolfgang – Confidentiality in
Criminological Research and Other Ethical Issues – “This article is
intended to stimulate discussion of ethical issues involved in research in
criminology and criminal justice. I will touch on related issues bearing on the
teaching of those subject as well, for many who face moral dilemmas in
acquiring knowledge also face such dilemmas in attempting to impart knowledge.”
