“Confidential informants are crucial to many law enforcement investigations and are especially essential in the field of narcotics investigations.

However, the informants are often criminals themselves; if not properly managed, they can render a law enforcement investigation useless, destroy an agency’s credibility, and even endanger officers’ lives. To use confidential informants successfully, agencies must

In order to collect the data from the informants regarding the practice of emotional intelligence of the young adults, a researcher must conduct the interview and get the data to answer the research questions.

I was a kid, Sometimes you have to work with the bad guys to catch the “badder” guys. The use of confidential informants is a valuable tool to many law enforcement agencies and more importantly for crimes associated with narcotics. Informants have the ability to gather information that would otherwise be unable to gather from law enforcement personnel.

herself. Dorinne Kondo does an excellent job in her essay “Dissolution and Reconstitution of Self”in using the reflexive voice as a way in which to describe culture and break down the observer/Other dichotomy by giving agency and power to her informants. Not only does the anthropologist interpret the people, but the people give their interpretation of the anthropologist. She states: I emphasize here the collusion between all parties involved, for it is important to recognize the ways in which
An account of a grand tour observation. Grand tour observations refer to the rich description of a social situation (Spradley, 1980). The social situation for this research is people at the library. To prepare for the grand tour observation, the researcher was driven by the following questions: “who are the people at the library?”, “what are the things people do at the library?”, and “what things are available at the library?”. Below is an account of a grand tour observation conducted by the researcher

CHAPTER 1: THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction The elderly people are highly respected and well taken care of because they are one of the foundation of any community. Although most Filipinos try to live up to this expectation, some just cannot and this is why elderly abandonment in the Philippines is happening (Utzurrum, 2015). It is unusual in the Philippine setting to see elderlies to be abandoned and neglected by their families because of sickness, weakness and dependence. This problem
In doing so, the lines between “informant” and “ethnographer” became blurred, as she examined her own transition, and her own “dissolution and reconstitution of self.” It become increasingly impossible for Kondo to write an ethnography from a distanced, us/ them, point of view, as she was (outwardly) becoming more like “them.” Kondo states: I emphasize here the collusion between all parties involved, for it is important to recognize the ways in which informants are also actors and agents and
information given, Mr. Jones did not have probable cause. Mr. Jones relied on information from an informant that he did not work with previously. The information included judgment based on the witness seeing a glowing light in the basement, two tanks being brought into the household, and being told that the homeowner has an unlimited amount of marijuana to sell. This information that was told to the informant is speculation, only.

able to cooperatively gain insights from informants without offending or coming off too strong on them. Enablers help guide the informants to willingly express their stories and concerns about health care and their culture. Gaining such difficult and specific answers can only be shared by willing informants. The reason why these enablers are important, is so they can provide an organized set of topics and question for the interviewee, and provide the informant a proper environment to share their cultures
So Much Research: The Many Ways Anthologists Collect Data Would you believe me if I told you that not all scientists just look inside a petri dish, scribble some words down, and fix all of life’s problems? Well, actually, there are plenty of different ways to research the same thing! You also have to think about all the different types of science fields that we have researching many different things. Some do look through petri dishes, some look through advanced telescopes that can see
