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

Dec 17, 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: Last week’s daily (M-F) release schedule went smoothly, so we’ll try it again this week.

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

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.
