Description
Howard S. Becker's What About Mozart? What About Murder? Reasoning From Cases presents a unique approach to sociological research, using carefully investigated cases to build general knowledge.
The author draws on his lifetime of research to demonstrate the value of using specific examples in sociology, rather than relying on speculation or invented stories. Becker argues that researchers should strive for data-driven approaches and avoid "skeleton cases" that use fictional evidence.
