Five Studies About: Harm Reduction
Curated crime research studies, all related to harm reduction
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 harm reduction.
These new crime studies related to harm reduction were recently published by journals I monitor.
1. Reducing the harms of cannabis use in youth post-legalization: insights from Ontario youth, parents, and service providers [Harm Reduction Journal]
2. Xylazine’s Impacts on the Community in Philadelphia: Perspectives of People Who Use Opioids and Harm Reduction Workers [Substance Use & Misuse]
3. What Are Community Supervision Officers’ Knowledge and Views of Naloxone? An Exploratory Study [Criminal Justice and Behavior]
4. Navigating transitions into, through, and beyond peer worker roles: insider insights from the Supporting Harm Reduction through Peer Support (SHARPS) study [Harm Reduction Journal]
5. A scoping review on barriers and facilitators to harm reduction care among youth in British Columbia, Canada [Harm Reduction Journal]
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:
