Q Discuss why ethical guidelines are important in research. Additionally, suggest some unique ethical challenges that a research may face in the field of criminology or criminal justice.
Research is a serious matter as it is a diligent study of any particular issue or problem by using proper scientific methods. According to Babbie, research is the systematic inquiry which is used to describe, explain, predict and control various observed phenomenon. So we can say that the results of a research on an important topic is accepted and applied widely. This means the results must be fetched by following ethical guidelines. There are various codes which talk about the ethical guidelines in the faculty of research. Everyone who is in the field of research must abide by the RCR or responsible conduct of research.
