Five Studies About: Active Shooter Preparedness
Curated crime research studies, all relating to active shooter preparedness
Hello! I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is The Art of Explaining Crime, an independent newsletter that helps you think and write about crime.
Published Tuesdays and Thursdays, Five Studies About is a free tip sheet where I curate recent crime and justice studies related to one topic.
These new crime studies related to active shooter preparedness were recently published by journals I monitor.
1. Balancing Students’ Perceptions of Safety and Emergency Preparedness: A Quasi-Experimental Test of Protection Motivation Theory as it Relates to Lockdown Drills [Victims & Offenders]
2. Improving the Law Enforcement Response to Active Shooter Incidents: An Analysis of After-Action Reports [Crime & Delinquency]
3. Behavioral Skills Training for Active Shooter Scenarios Among Human Service Staff [Journal of Organizational Behavior Management]
4. Emergency Preparedness Drills for Active and Mass Shootings in Schools [Current Psychiatry Reports]
5. Active shooter incidents: training, safety, culture and officers’ support for prioritizing victims’ lives above their own [Policing: An International Journal]
I might cover some of these studies further in The Practice of Understanding Crime. If one sounds interesting or important, let me know in the comments:
If you liked today’s Five Studies About or found it useful, it’s likely other people you know would too. Why not share it?
Five Studies About, Crime Research Update, and Last Week's Crime Research are the output of my research discovery system.
