Abstract

Being yourself when doing fieldwork

Being yourself when doing fieldwork

The author has done research on delinquent behavior of Moroccan boys by doing fieldwork among them. Making sure the group of Moroccan boys accepted him in their midst took some convincing, as the author is sure you will understand. How do you get a group that is hostile towards society and carries a stigma to accept a researcher and cooperate with the research? In this article the author will explain how he went about gaining their trust mostly by being himself and with a bit of luck.
