This Open Education Resource on Research Methods in Criminology seeks to integrate traditional, Western methods of research with Indigenous ways of knowing by engaging in a practice called Two-Eyed Seeing. While the task of decolonizing all research methods for criminology is beyond the scope here, this text will aid the reader in assessing the various methods with a critical lens.
