Ethical dilemma
– You are a sociologist studying gang violence on the fringes of a large American urban city. The people you interview and their families have a high likelihood to suffer increased levels of violence if they are seen communicating with you. Your reports must be published and interviewees must sign a consent form, so there is potential for word to spread of their involvement with you and your institution. You believe that the neighborhood will undoubtedly benefit from a social scientific examination of how violence affects childhood development, but you are putting yourself and other families at risk in the present. How do you choose to conduct your research and gather data in such a high-risk area?
