for non- sociological purposes(secondary data.) Primary data can result from, for
example, the employment of questionnaires, structured, semi-structured and un-
structured interviews; and observation techniques.
Secondary data can be more or less anything else: statistics produced by the
state(for example, from the census) and by the private companies, letters, dia-
ries, newspapers, books, television and so on.
Some research can only be carried out by using secondary source data: for ex-
ample, Durkheim’s study of suicide in Europe required him to compare suicide
rates in Catholic as compared with Protestant countries and it would have been
impossible for him to collect this information personally.
Secondary source data, however , have many disadvantages: it is not usually
possible to check whether they are accurate, whether they have been collected or
collated in a biased way, in order to present a particular point of view, or
whether apparently comparable figures really are comparable- for example,
Durkheim’s study of suicide in the 19
th
century has been criticized because dif-
ferent countries have different definitions of what constitutes ” a suicide”.
Some statistics are particularly suspect. For example, crime figures may over-
represent certain social groups as criminal, because “white collar” crime is less
likely than ‘’ blue collar” to be reported or discovered.
Secondary sources cannot replace feelings and emotions expressed
when the
social scientist collects information directly for himself or herself , and these
may be important ingredients in social science
research.
