Five Studies About: Depolicing
Curated crime research studies, all related to depolicing
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. Today’s topic is depolicing.
These new crime studies related to depolicing were recently published by journals I monitor:
1. Depolicing in Chicago: Contrasting Patrol Officer and Specialized Unit Activity in the Aftermath of the Laquan McDonald Video Release [Crime & Delinquency]
2. Depolicing in historically marginalised communities: a neighbourhood-level analysis [Policing and Society]
3. A Criminological–Military Enterprise [The British Journal of Criminology]
4. The effect of formal de‐policing on police traffic stop behavior and crime: Early evidence from LAPD's policy to restrict discretionary traffic stops [Criminology & Public Policy]
5. The 2020 De-Policing: An Empirical Analysis [Police Quarterly]
I might cover some of these studies further in The Practice of Understanding Crime, my other Substack. If any sound interesting or important, let me know in the comments.
Five Studies About and Crime Research Update are the output of my research discovery system.
