As found in one of the studies in today's 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.

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. The directory includes, for example, this study listing:

Perceptions and experiences with police among people who use drugs in the initial year of British Columbia's decriminalization of illegal drugs policy

Journal: Criminology & Public Policy
Keywords: drug use, harm reduction, possession, drug, police, policing, law enforcement, policy, law, public policy
First author: Cayley Russell (Institute for Mental Health Policy Research Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) Toronto Ontario Canada) [+6 other authors]

You’ll find more listings for today’s new research below.

The research listings for today's research are 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.
