Five Studies About: Story
Curated crime research studies, all related to story
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 story.

These new crime studies related to story were recently published by journals I monitor.
1. Exploring the relationship between criminal narrative experience (CNE) and criminal thinking, among sexual offenders [Journal of Criminological Research, Policy and Practice]
2. Racial Violence in ‘Action’: Police Storytelling and Narrativisation in the Inquiry of Jermaine Baker [The British Journal of Criminology]
3. Silenced Echoes: Revenge Fantasies Toward Unjust Events in Drawings and Narratives of Indian Hindu Women [Violence Against Women]
4. The Use of Narrative in the Criminal Justice Classroom: Book Club as a Teaching Tool [Journal of Criminal Justice Education]
5. Humor, resistance, and the power of images: The case for studying prison cartoons [Crime, Media, Culture: An International 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:
