Research Methods

To start my research on 'Crime and media' i need to know the different methods.
These include:

Primary Research: First hand research which includes interviews, surveys. The material is your own original research.

Secondary Research: Second hand research, therefore research which has been carried out by other people, which may not be accurate.

Quantitative Research: Rsearched based on numbers, which uses statitics and tables, which measure an event/phenomenon to produce hard data, which often involdes working with large groups of people.

Qualitative Research: Research which attempts to explain or understand something. Usually involves working with small groups of people.
