Hello! I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is Explaining Crime, an independent newsletter that helps you write and read about crime. Critically, accurately, responsibly, and ethically.
Published Tuesdays and Thursdays, Your First Five is a free tip sheet made up of a curated selection of recent research related to crime and justice.
These new studies related to criminology and criminal justice were published recently by journals I monitor.
1. Using Scammers’ Data to Estimate the Impact and Importance of Preventing Repeat Mail Fraud Victimization [The British Journal of Criminology]
2. Routine activities and fraud re-victimization among older adults: Do types of routine activities matter? [Criminology & Criminal Justice]
3. Fear and phoning: Telephones, fraud, and older adults in the UK [International Review of Victimology]
4. Unveiling the Terrain of Fraud: Exploring the Association Between Physical Topography and Consumer Fraud Victimization [Deviant Behavior]
5. Content analysis of press releases from the Norwegian serious fraud office: what do the messages say about focal concerns? [Policing: An International Journal]
I might cover some of these studies further in Understanding Crime. If one sounds interesting or important, let me know in the comments.
Your First Five and the directories I'm experimenting with are the output of my research discovery system.
