- Summary:
- This case study has two main goals: first, it introduces to the reader the basics of script analysis, which is a powerful analytical tool when looking at criminal opportunities, and shows how this tool has been used in an innovative way to answer to specific research questions. Second, it illustrates some practical and methodological problems encountered in carrying out the author's PhD research, and it presents the solutions found. By providing an account of these challenges, it leads to more general considerations on difficulties related to data access and collection in criminological research.
