How “extreme sexual victimization histories” and race increase the chances of women going to prison
According to the first of today's Five Studies About: Prisons
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 prisons.
These new crime studies related to prisons were recently published by journals I monitor:
1. The Extreme Sexual Victimization Histories of Women in Prison and the Significance of Race [Criminal Justice and Behavior]
2. ‘I thought I was screwed before I started that program’: The impact on self-belief of the Peace Education Program at Adelaide Women’s Prison [Criminology & Criminal Justice]
3. Why are state prison populations shrinking? A research note [Criminology]
4. High risk, low reward: a mixed method exploration of correctional officer mental health and perceptions of prison work [Journal of Crime and Justice]
5. Do direct and courtesy prison stigma hinder support for a startup business? A vignette experiment [Journal of Experimental Criminology]
I might cover some of these studies further in The Practice of Understanding Crime, my other newsletter. If any sound interesting or important, let me know in the comments.
Five Studies About and Crime Research Update are the output of my research discovery system.
