How police academies across the U.S. are failing to change

As found by one of the studies in today’s Crime Research Update

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 an experimental directory of new crime research published by the academic journals that I monitor.

Today's directory contains links to studies published online in the last few days, including this one:

The more things change, the more they stay the same: A multi‐wave national assessment of police academy training curricula

Journal: Criminology & Public Policy
Keywords: police, police officer, policing, law enforcement, policy, law, public policy
First author: John J. Sloan (J. Frank Barefield Department of Criminal Justice The University of Alabama at Birmingham Birmingham Alabama USA) [+2 other authors]

These paid tip sheets get unlocked three weeks (NEW!) after their initial publication, and free subscribers will get notified by email. (So sign up if you haven’t!)

But what if your situation means you can't wait three weeks for this week's research? In that case, become a paid subscriber to get five updates per week of the latest research.
