Crime Research Update: December 20

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

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: We’re shutting down the newsletter for the holidays. We’ll be back in the new year.

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

What sways public opinion? An experimental study on moral vs. evidence-based arguments for drug harm reduction

Journal: Drugs: Education, Prevention and Policy
Keywords: harm reduction, drug, policy
Geography: [unsupported at the moment]
Author info: Pamela Ruiz Flores López (Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences (FLACSO), Mexico City, Mexico) [+4 other authors]

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.
