How holding “masculine honor beliefs” makes insults all about masculinity
According to the first of today's Five Studies About: Masculinity
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 masculinity.

These new crime studies related to masculinity were recently published by journals I monitor:
1. Individual Differences in Masculine Honor Beliefs and Men’s Perceptions of Insults Targeting Their Masculinity [Journal of Interpersonal Violence]
2. “RIP TOP G:” Rhetoric, Responses, and Realities Surrounding the Social Media Ban of Andrew Tate [Violence Against Women]
3. “Dude, you’re a Bitch!” Gang Members’ Internet Banging Masculinity via Bitch Discourse [Deviant Behavior]
4. “ I didn’t Leave Inceldom; Inceldom Left me ”: Examining Male Ex-Incel Navigations of Complex Masculinities Identity Rebuilding Following Rejection of Incel-Culture [Deviant Behavior]
5. Managing Masculinity When Growing up With a Violent Father: A Qualitative Study of Boys’ Experiences [Violence Against Women]
I might cover some of these studies further in The Practice of Understanding Crime, my newsletter where I report on criminology and criminal justice research. 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.
