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 (formerly “Your First Five”) is a free tip sheet that curates recent crime and justice studies related to one topic.
These new crime studies related to AI were recently published by journals I monitor.
1. No man’s hand: artificial intelligence does not improve police report writing speed [Journal of Experimental Criminology]
2. Artificial intelligence-assisted criminal justice reporting: An exploratory study of benefits, concerns, and future directions [Criminology & Criminal Justice]
3. Sentencing, Artificial Intelligence, and Condemnation: A Reply to Taylor [Criminal Justice Ethics]
4. Are Psychopathy Traits Related to the Use of Artificial Intelligence Tools Among University Students? The Mediating Effect of Self-control [Deviant Behavior]
5. Values? Camera? Action! An ethnography of an AI camera system used by the Netherlands Police [Policing and Society]
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:
Five Things About and the directories I'm experimenting with are the output of my research discovery system.
