[Drawing on the work of Finlay (2002) to conceptualise the journey of reflection and reflexivity, Eason takes the reader through the problems of bias, both conscious and unconscious and how we can mitigate this with the research design and implementation. The essence of the chapter invites the reader to consider their own prejudices, feelings towards certain offenders and victims, crime types and how their attitudes can cloud the way in which they approach, gather and analyse their data. She also draws their attention to the cultural nuances of the police service in the context of collective meanings and understandings of the world, and these can also play a part in the way in which research is conducted. Taking them through a four-stage model of reflexivity she guides the reader through the key stages of research design and how the application of reflection can support a robust and open-minded approach. One that can stand the critique of others, particularly those opposed to qualitative research and argue the subjectivity of interpretivism. The chapter encourages the reader to be as honest and thoughtful in academia as they are in their practice.]
