Qualitative assignment.
This assignment is a 3500 word qualitative data analysis.  You will examine a data set called “ Gender difference, anxiety and fear of crime 1995” which will be posted on the Moodle.   You are required to analyse Two interview transcripts using your own preferred method, and write a report. This assignment contributes 35% to total mark for this unit.
In your report, you need to pay attention to the following:

•    You should provide a detailed account of the processes and procedures for analysis of data and examples of analysis.
•    You need to show evidence and description of advanced analysis beyond open coding.
•      When quoting from the transcripts to highlight your findings, you need to provide explanation as to why particular quotes were selected (e.g. are they representative, illustrative, etc.).  Please remember to reference the source.
•    Provide enough information of how themes, categories or concepts were derived from the data. If using Nvivo, you can illustrate how you progressed from free nodes to tree nodes.
•    Be reflexive about your own role as the analyst/researcher, and your methodological approach, and how this relates to your findings.
•    The results should appear consistent and appropriate, relating back to the research questions.
