Chronic offenders were responsible for nearly 70% of the homicides in a study of 5,623 Brazilians born in 1982. They made up 5% of the participants.*
The study is one of those shared in today’s Crime Research Update
(* A small group being responsible for most crime is consistent with studies in other countries.)
Hello! I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is The Art of Explaining Crime, an independent newsletter that helps you think and write about crime.
Use this tip sheet to help you integrate the latest research into your work. It's a directory of new crime research published by the academic journals that I monitor, including this study:
