How “late-night venues” could help promote harm reduction methods for drug-using men who have sex with men
According to the first of today's Five Studies About: Drugs
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 drugs.
These new crime studies related to drugs were recently published by journals I monitor:
1. Barriers to uptake of harm reduction techniques for GBMSM who use drugs in night-clubs and sex-on-premises venues in London and the Southeast: a mixed-methods, qualitative study [Harm Reduction Journal]
2. Boosting Drug Treatment Attendance Through Police-Sent Text Message Nudges: A Randomized Controlled Trial with Drug-Positive Arrestees [American Journal of Criminal Justice]
3. Predicting Placement in Residential Treatment in a Drug Court Program [Criminal Justice Policy Review]
4. Perpetual Incarceration: Examining the Role of Mandatory Minimums, Guidelines Departures, and Drug Offenses in Racial Disparity in Federal Life Sentences [Justice Quarterly]
5. Managing xylazine-involved overdoses in a community harm reduction setting: lessons from Tijuana, Mexico [Harm Reduction Journal]
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.
