DESCRIPTION:Collecting qualitative data on crime-related activities and pe
 rspectives takes more than keen observation and analysis. In this seminar\
 , I argue for increased reliance on two methodological approaches\, one th
 at places the individual researcher at the center of action and reflection
 \, known as "autoethnography\," and the other that prioritizes real world 
 interactions and locations as the context in which interviews and observat
 ions should be conducted\, or what I call "place-based elicitation." As pa
 rt of a discussion about each method – their histories\, usage\, ethics\
 , limitations\, etc. – we will discuss issues related to reliability\, a
 ccess and status\, and the writing process involved in translating real-wo
 rld data and placing onto the page. This discussion will touch on issues o
 f subcultural activity\, gang and graffiti writer identity\, uses of publi
 c space in the context of neighborhood change\, and policing
