Crime Research Update: September 27

A directory of recent research, organized by crime type and criminal legal system stage

Hello! I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is The Art of Explaining Crime, an independent newsletter that helps you think and write about crime responsibly.

Use this tip sheet to craft explanations informed by the latest research. It's an experimental directory of new crime research published by the academic journals that I monitor. I publish three tip sheets like this one per week.

Today's paid directory contains links to studies published online in the last few days, including this one:

“This Time It Was Different:” Creating a Multidisciplinary, Trauma-Informed, Victim-Centered Approach to Sexual Assault Cold Case Investigations and Prosecutions

Journal: Journal of Interpersonal Violence
Keywords: assault, rape, enforcement, justice, law, police, investigation, response, trial, prosecution, jurisdiction, plea, conviction, evidence
Geography: [unsupported at the moment]
Author info: Rebecca Campbell (Michigan State University, East Lansing, USA) [+4 other authors] 

I publish directories like the one you’re reading now on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. This week’s research links will be available in a free tip sheet published Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.

If your deadlines mean you can't wait until next week for this week's sorted research, consider becoming a paid subscriber to get three updates per week of the latest research.

You’ll find today’s new research below, sorted by two broad categories: 

• Crime Type Research

• 'Criminal Justice System' & 'Criminal Legal System' Research

Research that doesn’t get sorted into those categories follows under “Unsorted Research.”
