Which of the following is a tool for data collection in criminological research ?
(i) Alpha error
(ii) Interview schedule
(iii) Hypothesis testing
(iv) Thematic Appreciation Test
Choose the correct combination using the following codes :
Answer: D
The tools for data collection in criminological research are the interview schedule (ii) and the Thematic Apperception Test (iv), which is the combination (ii) and (iv). The interview schedule is a structured list of questions put to a respondent, and the TAT is a projective test in which the subject makes up stories about pictures, which reveal his attitudes and motives.
Alpha error and hypothesis testing are part of statistical analysis, not of the collection of data, so any combination with (i) or (iii) is wrong.
