Five Studies About: Firearms and Homicide
Curated crime research studies, all related to firearms and homicide
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 firearms and homicide.
These new crime studies related to firearms and homicide were recently published by journals I monitor.
1. Never bring a knife to a gunfight? Lethality of weapon use in Dutch homicides [European Journal of Criminology]
2. Triggering Violence? The Impact of Firearms on the Nature and Lethality of Violent Encounters: A European Perspective [Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice]
3. Social Vulnerability and Firearm Violence: An Examination of the Correlates of Fatal and Nonfatal Shootings [Homicide Studies]
4. Firearms, policy, and intimate partner homicide: A structural and disaggregated examination of Black, Latina, and White female victimization [Criminology]
5. Missing the Mark? A Typology of Lethal and Non-Lethal Firearm Violence in the Netherlands [Crime & Delinquency]
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:
