Sage Resources

Sage Criminology and Criminal Justice Collection gives you access to over 40 journals, including Crime & Delinquency, Journal of Interpersonal Violence, and Criminal Justice Policy Review.  

Sage Research Methods supports research at all levels by offering material to guide users through every step of the research process. It has the answer for each of these user groups from a quick dictionary definition, a case study example from a researcher in the field, a downloadable teaching dataset, a full-text title from the Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences series, or a video tutorial showing research in action.

It is the ultimate methods library with over 1000 books, reference works, journal articles, and instructional videos by world-leading academics from the social sciences, including the most extensive collection of qualitative methods books available online from any scholarly publisher. The site guides users to the content they need to learn a little or a lot about their desired method. The Methods Map can help those less familiar with research methods to find the best technique to use in their research. Built upon Sage’s legacy of methods publishing, Sage Research Methods is an essential online tool for researchers.
