Crime Research Update: January 6

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

Jan 07, 2025

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

Programming Note: Last year’s daily (M-F) release schedule experiment went smoothly, so we’ll try doing it going forward.

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

But what if your situation means you can't wait three weeks for this week's research? In that case, become a paid subscriber to get five 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.”
