INTERACTIVE CHILD WELFARE MONITORING SYSTEM

Summary/Abstract: „(...) Social science has been singulary unsuccessful to discover law-like regularities. (...) Realism replaces the regularity model with one in which objects and social relations have causal powers which may or may not produce regularities, and which can be explained independently of them. In view of this, less weight is put on quantitative methods for discovering and assessing regularities and more on methods of establishing the qualitative nature of social objects and relations on which causal depends. And this in turn, brings us back to the vital task of conceptualization.“ Andrew Sayer – Method in Social Science: A Realist Approach – Routledge, London, Digital Printing 2003, p. 3
