Your First Five Crime Studies of April 30
All of today's research relates to intimate partner violence
I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is Explaining Crime, an independent newsletter that helps you explain crime to your audience.
Your First Five is a daily series (M-F) that publishes a curated selection of recent research related to crime and justice. Each post is more a tip sheet than an article and contains links to new studies (each related to a single topic) that I hope will enhance your work explaining crime. The publication schedule is in flux until June.
These new studies related to criminology and criminal justice were published recently by journals I monitor.
1. Perpetrator Involvement in Domestic Homicide Reviews in England and Wales, published in Homicide Studies.
2. Beyond the Surface: Intimate Partner Violence Typology and Recent Depression, published in Violence Against Women.
3. Factors Influencing Shared Decision-Making Between Healthcare Providers and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer People of Color About Intimate Partner Violence, published in Journal of Interpersonal Violence.
4. Help-Seeking After Intimate Partner or Sexual Violence: Exploring the Experiences of International Student Women in Australia, published in Violence Against Women.
5. Substance Use and Mental Health as Mediators of the Association Between Intimate Partner Violence Victimization and Condomless Sex with Serodiscordant Partners Among Black Sexual Minority Men Living with HIV, published in Journal of Interpersonal Violence.
I might cover some of these studies further in Understanding Crime. If one sounds interesting or important, let me know in the comments.
If you’ve seen a few of these posts and are wondering: Yes, I use a template. As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, these posts are intended more as tip sheets than articles. Your First Five and the directories I'm experimenting with are the output of my research discovery system, which I’ve been working on and streamlining. That system is intended to furnish a wide variety of crime research and facilitate choices of what new research to actually report on, both for myself and for the journalists out there. I hope others will find these tip sheets interesting and useful for reasons that I haven’t even thought of.
Let me know how you've used Your First Five!
