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 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. The Effect of Bully Victimization on Self-Reported Delinquency and Substance Use Using the General Strain Theory Framework: Sex, Race, and Ethnicity Differences [Deviant Behavior]
2. Neighborhood Disadvantage, Social Groups, and Adolescent Violence: Assessing Mechanisms in Structural-Cultural Theories [Justice Quarterly]
3. Exploring the Situational Contexts of Traditional Bullying Perpetration: A Social Bonding Theory Perspective [Deviant Behavior]
4. Pathways to Resistance: Theorizing Trauma and Women's Use of Force in Intimate Relationships [Violence Against Women]
5. Revisiting the tautology problem in rational choice theory: What it is and how to move forward theoretically and empirically [European Journal of Criminology]
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.
