APPENDIX: QUESTIONNAIRE
The Ministry of Justice invites contributions to its social science research Directory, Researching Criminal Justice, which covers both completed research and work in progress.
This Directory was created to:
- assist in Ministry of Justice policy development
- inform the ongoing analysis of government responses to crime across the sector
- provide a resource tool for our own researchers, for those in other government departments, and for everyone involved in the area.
In compiling this Directory, our primary question is "what research would you like to see recorded in this database?". We would like to incorporate the work of public sector agencies, research and education institutions, professional societies, non-government organisations, individuals, in fact everyone who is doing research on criminal justice issues. We will use the words of the researcher and/or institution to represent the many facets of criminal justice research: crime prevention, the police, court and corrections systems, victims, offenders, and many other topics. Quantitative and qualitative research, surveys, programme evaluations, literature reviews-all should be included.
This questionnaire has two parts. Please fill out a questionnaire for each separate research project; use Part I to describe the research project and Part II to cover the related reports. We are interested in projects completed in the last ten years, or currently underway.
Could you please give copies of this questionnaire to anyone you think should contribute. Alternatively, you could let us know the names of people we should contact, by contacting:

Ideally, this Directory should become an on-going resource. It would be great if you could pass on to us details of research you are involved with in the future; if we gather a good range of responses now and in the future, and if the Directory is of value to you and to us, we hope to plan updates (depending as always on the availability of funding).
Another questionnaire, even more paperwork. But we believe that having your research included will be a valuable promotion, and that the Directory will become an important tool in the social sciences in New Zealand. Please help us to make it so.
