Hello! I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is Explaining Crime, an independent newsletter that helps you read, think, and write about crime. Critically, accurately, responsibly, and ethically.
Use this tip sheet to find new research local to you. It's an experimental directory of new crime research published by the academic journals that I monitor. Today's free directory contains 34 studies published online last week.1 I publish directories like this one on Tuesdays. All of the studies in these directories were originally available in paid directories the previous 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.
