Abstract
This chapter reflects upon value and ethical issues raised by narrative inquiry within criminological research, particularly in its use with vulnerable and marginalised populations, in this case, (ex) offenders. Drawing upon experiences of undertaking two desistance-focused research projects, we explore the contours of debates around taking 'sides', sympathy, bias and values in narrative inquiry in this area, as well as the ethical issues relating to consent, ownership and interpretive authority raised by its use.
