Help me with my Dissertation, Please (Music Related)

Hi Guys,

Sorry to bug like this, but can anyone spare 3 or 4 minutes of their time to fill out a short survey (10 questions) to help me with my Masters dissertation.

The topic is on the Criminal Justice Bill and it's effects on rave/dance music culture.

Cheers,

Anyone who can remember the effect of the CJB on rave culture wasn't doing it properly.

As far as I can recall it didn't have that much of an effect, and it was laughed at as it also outlawed the Trooping of the colour, the changing of the guard and any number of other military marches. I think the police were raiding raves before the act came into force. All that really happened was proper clubs got set up and dance music culture officially began.
Within 4 years it was all about Ambient, and who wants that?

Done. Interesting topic. Good luck with it.

BlueQuinn: Thanks for the feedback, In all honesty I'm a little too young to remember the effect it had at the time, but I know that 'club culture' didn't kick off until after its introduction (my undergraduate dissertation was on this, but I'm now looking further back). I think they eventually amended the wording slightly to allow for military ceremonies, but don't have that amendment to hand.

Anyway, Ambient still has a place, doesn't it?

It had a HUGE effect…

Massiiiiiive.

Done

Massiiiiiive.

Also I don't think the bill started the "dance music culture" Maybe you meant clubbing culture - 2 VERY different things.

Dance music culture was alive a kicking years before the bill, I just think you weren't down with the cool kids…

done..

best question - do you think the bill is still relevant today?

ftfy. Getting twatted and dancing to repeptitive beats isn't exactly new...

done..

best question - do you think the bill is still relevant today?

This is essentially the crux of the paper- is it still relevant, and what would I change to make it more relevant. An answer hasn't presented itself yet.

Done. Interesting topic. Good luck with it.

this^

on this like a tramp on chips, did the whole thing castlemorton the lot.
jealous of you getting to do this for 'work' ;-)

gotta say though, pretty meaningless questions if you are trying to do any serious data collection.
if it is a qualitative study interviews, detail will get you much more than that short survey.
you probably are combining data collection methods?
read this?

that looks interesting. anyone got a copy?

er, yeah isnt it about 50 p secondhand?

louis: I've a copy, you're more than welcome to it in a few weeks when i'll probably never want to see it again!

*m.f: Yep I'm combining a number of sources for research, if you or anyone else has any anecdotes/experiences you'd like to share, I'll happy listen to them over a coffee (my shout). PM if interested. The survey is just to really get some background data, and I'm combining it with a number of FOI requests to Police Forces surrounding the M25.

You need to paraphrase the Act, into just a paragraph or two so that the necessary info is available before people take the survey. I remember all the stuff in the papers about it, and they always dragged out that trooping the colour reference, but I've just done the survey without any real information apart from what I remember from 18 or so years ago. Anybody remember the inside cover artwork on the Prodigy's Jilted Generation, July 1994?
