Five Studies About: Sentencing
Curated crime research studies, all relating to sentencing
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 sentencing.
These new crime studies related to sentencing were recently published by journals I monitor.
1. Federal Drug Sentencing and the Overdose Epidemic [American Journal of Criminal Justice]
2. Why should we punish and how? The role of moral intuitions and personal worldviews for punitiveness and sentencing preferences [Psychology, Crime & Law]
3. The Judicial Interpretation of Intimate Partner Homicide in China: An Empirical Analysis of Sentencing Practice Between 2016 and 2021 [Violence Against Women]
4. Cultural context and sentencing: content analysis of sentencing remarks for Indigenous defendants of domestic violence in the Northern Territory, Australia [Psychology, Crime & Law]
5. The influence of remorse on sentencing outcomes [Current Issues in Criminal Justice]
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:
