1) In Hartley’s Chapter 5, Reading 9: “Public Support for Getting Tough on Corporate Crime,” how was the sample that those researchers studied obtained? Whom did they study? Do you think this is a representative sample? What did the researchers do to make it more representative?  The reference is “Unnever, J.D., Bension, M.L., & Cullen, F.T. (2008) Public support for getting tough on corporate crime: Racial and Political divides. Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency, 45(2), 163-190.”)

2.)In what condition a multistage sampling procedure is appropriate and can be the best method to have a representative sample? Please use Reading 10 (Hartley, p. 143-154) research as an example to explain it. The reference is “Wilcox, P., Skubak Tillyer, M., & Fisher, B. (2009) Gendered opportunity? School-based adolescent victimization. Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency, 46, 245-269.”)

3.)Why do some researchers have to use snowball sampling? Is this method justifiable under certain circumstances? Please explain as you are trying to teach us.
