Abstract
A considerable amount of attention has been afforded the randomized response approach over the past decade in an attempt to refine this method of reducing evasive answer bias in surveys of sensitive information. In this article we review these developments in an introductory fashion and address various concerns in designing a randomized response instrument. Last, the potential applicability of this approach to criminal justice research and evaluation is discussed.Keywords
