Five Studies About: Measurement
Curated crime research studies, all related to measurement
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 measurement.
These new crime studies related to measurement were recently published by journals I monitor:
1. Validating the French RAPE Scale in Incarcerated Sex Offenders and Men and Women from the Community [Victims & Offenders]
2. Measuring “what matters” in 21st-century policing: partnering with civilian oversight to assess procedurally just policing in Philadelphia [Police Practice and Research]
3. The Evolution of the Measurement of Rape and Sexual Assault Over 50 Years: Milestones, Definitions, Operationalizations, and Classifications [Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice]
4. Advancing Measurement of Correctional Officer Health and Wellness: A Pilot Study of Wearable Biometric Sensor Devices [Justice Quarterly]
5. Hidden in Plain Sight: Improving the Measurement of Sex Trafficking Victimization in a National Sample of Adults [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.
