Crime Research Update: September 30

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

Sep 30, 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 responsibly.

Use this tip sheet to craft explanations informed by the latest research. It's an experimental directory of new crime research published by the academic journals that I monitor. I publish three tip sheets like this one per week.

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

“The Soul Recognizes Itself in Somebody Else”: The Healing Value of Forgiveness among Formerly Incarcerated People in the Profession Practice of Peer-Support

Journal: The Prison Journal
Keywords: addiction, community, incarceration
Geography: [unsupported at the moment]
Author info: Ety Elisha (Max Stern Yezreel Valley College, Israel) [+1 other author]

I publish directories like the one you’re reading now on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. This week’s research links will be available in a free tip sheet published Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.

If your deadlines mean you can't wait until next week for this week's sorted research, consider becoming 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.”

N.B.: The initial sorting is done by code, and the algorithm is still in early days. You should expect errors, even though I catch what I can. If you're so inclined, let me know about any in a direct message or comment so that I can correct them and figure out how to improve the algorithm.
