Apr 03, 2025

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:

Heterogeneous Effects of Environmental Exposure to Gun Violence on Adolescent Problem Behavior
Journal: Journal of Interpersonal Violence
Keywords: homicide, violence
First author: Xiaoya Zhang (University of Florida, Gainesville, USA) [+4 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.
