Howard S Becker is a master of his discipline His reputation as a teacher as well as a sociologist is supported by his bestselling quartet of sociological guidebooks Writing for Social Scientists Tricks of the Trade Telling About Society and What About Mozart What About Murder It turns out that the master sociologist has yet one more trick up his sleevea fifth guidebook Evidence Becker has for seventy years been mulling over the problem of evidence He argues that social scientists dont take questions about the usefulness of their data as evidence for their ideas seriously enough For example researchers have long used the occupation of a persons father as evidence of the familys social class but studies have shown this to be a flawed measurefor one thing a lot of people answer that question too vaguely to make the reasoning plausible The book is filled with examples like this and Becker uses them to expose a series of errors suggesting ways to avoid them or even to turn them into research topics in their own right He argues strongly that because no datagathering method produces totally reliable information a big part of the research job consists of getting rid of error Readers will find Beckers newest guidebook a valuable tool useful for social scientists of every variety.
