Crime Research Update: December 10

A directory of recent research, organized by crime type and criminal justice/legal system stage

Dec 10, 2024

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 inform your work with the latest research. It's an experimental directory of new crime research published by the academic journals that I monitor.

Programming Note: I was absent for the first week of December due to a flare up in one of my chromic health issues. I’ll spare you the details, but things have calmed and I’m back. I’m going to try a new daily release schedule for Crime Release Update. (If you don’t care about the nuts and bolts of why, go ahead and skip the rest of this paragraph.) I’ve found that three days per week creates extremely large batches of studies to process for each directory. My algorithm does the bulk of the work, but I still do a light edit of the resulting directories to minimize miscategorization errors. The large batches cause my symptoms to flare (why is another story… ask if interested…), so I have to either work on each batch over several sessions or risk sending you a directory that isn’t as good as you need it to be. My solution may seem counter-intuitive: more, smaller directories per week. We’ll see how it goes for at least this week.

Today's directory contains links to studies published online in the last few days, including this one:

Organized crime after earthquakes

Keywords: homicide, violence, kidnapping, drug, extortion, organized crime, criminal justice

These paid tip sheets get unlocked a week after their initial publication, and free subscribers will get notified by email. (So sign up if you haven’t!)

But what if your situation means you can't wait until next week for this week's research? In that case, become a paid subscriber to get three updates per week of the latest research.

You’ll find today’s new research below, sorted by two broad categories: crime type and criminal justice/legal system stage. Research that doesn’t get sorted into those categories follows under “Unsorted Research.”
