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 hate crime.

These new crime studies related to hate crime were recently published by journals I monitor.
1. How October 7, 2023, changed fear and exposure to hate among Jewish members of universities: a research note [Journal of Experimental Criminology]
2. Aligning police practice with hate crime theory: The case for using risk assessments to improve police response to victims of hate [International Review of Victimology]
3. The Social Production of Hate Crime Statistics: The Differential Construction of Islamophobic Hate Crime by the Media and Law Enforcement [Crime & Delinquency]
4. Effects of Victim Race on Police Arrests for Hate Crimes [Justice 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.
