3.2.1 Quantitative research Quantitative research is a means of utilizing questionnaires, surveys and analysis to collect data that is reviewed and arranged in various ways that enables the data to be distinguished through statistical evaluation (Hittleman & Simon, 1997).

In the criminal justice field research and proper collection of data plays an enormous role. M.U.S.E defines research as a process of investigation, examination of a subject from different points of view (M.U.S.E, 2017). Using the proper research method helps determine how well criminology and criminal justice study crime ( E.Fritsch., C. Trulson., A. Blackburn, 2014). Researchers use well known methods to achieve answer to their question. Their methods and observation is easily done in way
CHAPTER THREE 3.0 Research Methodology 3.1 Research Design This section describes the major procedures that will be used in carrying out the research. This study is multi-site mixed method case study that will employ a Concurrent Triangulation Mixed-Method design. Using a multisite mixed methods approach, the study will strive to appraise selected peri-urban settlements situated on the fringes of Port Harcourt. 3.1.1 A Multisite Mixed Methods Approach A Multi-site case study investigates a defined
integrated research in public health (PH) has reviewed in further depth the two branches of research described as the positivist (quantitative) and interpretivism (qualitative). My approach as a PH researcher will define the research question based on a quantitative, qualitative or a mixed-methods approach. Prior to this module, knowledge about providing a rationale for the method selected and understanding the best method to use to answer the research question was biased towards a quantitative approach

Research may be defined as “an endeavour to discover new or collate old facts etc. by the scientific study of a subject or by a course of critical investigation” (Oxford Concise Dictionary, 1995). This definition clearly emphasizes the importance of methodologies as it pertains to researching a subject matter. It is for this reason that it is extremely essential that the researcher adequately considers the relative merits of a range of possible methodologies along with their associated data needs
The Research Process and Methodology Student’s Name: Institutional Affiliation: The Research Process and Methodology The research process begins with the identification of the subject to be researched; this could be a problem that needs a solution, or a prediction that needs to be proven. After the identification of the subject, it is thoroughly reviewed and all the facts about the subject drafted. The next step is the formation of a hypothesis which acts as a guideline for the proposal. With the

Research methodology Methodology provides a feasible solution to the problems being addressed in the research, being a critical element of research. The effective methods of research should be well recognized by the researcher to conduct a quality research. Different ways of data collection as well as selection of adopting method for researched is addressed by a part of research methodology according to (Gill and Johnson, 2002). Research methodology also plays a significant role in conducting research
