How intent to kill and firearm lethality play out in American school shooting injuries and deaths
As found in one of the studies in this week's Crime Research Update: Crime Type Edition
Welcome to The Art of Explaining Crime, the 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. This week's directory includes, for example, this study listing:
