Document Summary
By accounting for our conceptual baggage immediately, we can create this document that is this cultural baggage, and then refer to it and situate ourselves reflexively in the process. We understand that the process of doing this work comprises of reflexivity. ^-if we"re not reflexive about these kinds of things, then we suffer from this crisis of representation. Cast a critical gaze onto the traditional ethnographic idea of producing realism. We must gain a sound understanding of the processes involved in the production of ethnographic work. A lot of what is produced in terms of research on policing, especially in this neoliberal context, are what these authors refer to as faery tales . Self reflexivity is the means of accounting for how we represent our research setting and contextualizing what knowledge we produce in these settings. Significant changes from the chicago school"s just go out and do it view. Triangulation can minimize observational conclusions of a more objective reality.
