How cannabis legalization policies affect youth mental health
As found in one of the studies in Tuesday's late* Crime Research Update
Hello! I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is The Art of Explaining Crime, an independent newsletter that helps you think and write about crime.
* Programming note: I was originally supposed to publish this tip sheet on Tuesday, but couldn’t due to personal life issues. I hope you’ll still find it useful today.
Use this tip sheet to help you integrate the latest research into your work. It's a directory of new crime research published by the academic journals that I monitor, including this study:
Adding Nuance to Understanding the Effects of Cannabis Legalization by Using Policy Bundles: A Study of Youth Mental Health
Journal: Substance Use & Misuse
Keywords: substance use, cannabis, policy
First author: Shazib Altaf (Penn State Harrisburg School of Public Affairs) [+3 other authors]

You’ll find today’s new research below, sorted by two broad categories: crime type and criminal justice/legal system stage. Research that doesn’t get sorted into those categories follows under “Unsorted Research.”
Three weeks from now, the rest of this paid tip sheet unlocks and free subscribers will be notified by email.
