Description
Summary:	Carrying out a new research project is very exciting, and most researchers just want to get started straight away. Yet, there are a number of key methodological issues to consider before a project can begin. Perhaps the most important of these is how to gain access in order to carry out the research. This is not a matter to be taken lightly and involves a combination of hard work, persistence and strategic planning. This article explores the challenges a researcher can face in gaining access by looking at the process by which access was obtained to interview young female offenders within a secure establishment - a prison.
