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. Sign up here:
Published Tuesdays and Thursdays, Your First Five is a free tip sheet made up of a curated selection of recent crime and justice research that’s related to one topic.
These new studies related to criminology and criminal justice were published recently by journals I monitor.
1. The Social Production of Hate Crime Statistics: The Differential Construction of Islamophobic Hate Crime by the Media and Law Enforcement [Crime & Delinquency]
2. ‘My trust in strangers has disappeared completely’: How hate crime, perceived risk, and the concealment of sexual orientation affect fear of crime among Swedish LGBTQ students [International Review of Victimology]
3. Effects of Victim Race on Police Arrests for Hate Crimes [Justice Quarterly]
4. ‘Doesn’t anyone care anymore?’ – Bystander intervention to hate crime [International Review of Victimology]
5. Detecting hate crimes through machine learning and natural language processing [Police Practice and Research]
I might cover some of these studies further in The Practice of 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.
