Five Studies About: The Age-Crime Curve
Curated crime research studies, all related to the age-crime curve
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 the age-crime curve.
These new crime studies related to the age-crime curve were recently published by journals I monitor.
1. Has Postponed Entry into Adult Roles Modified U.S. Age-Crime Curves? Age-Arrest Patterns of Teens, Emerging Adults and Adult Age Groups, 1980–2019 [Justice Quarterly]
2. Contextualizing Lives and Historical Time: Examining Changes in the Transition to Adulthood and Age-Arrest Trajectories from the 1960s to 2018 [Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency]
3. Macro‐historical influences, cohort dynamics, and the (in)stability of the age–crime distribution: The case of the Republic of Korea [Criminology]
4. Comparing the criminal careers of organized crime offenders in Italy and the Netherlands [European Journal of Criminology]
5. Offending Trajectories in an Australian Birth Cohort: Differences and Similarities Across Sex [Criminal Justice and Behavior]
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:
