How race, criminality, and other factors influence people’s views on drug sentencing

Plus a directory of 30 other recent research studies

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 in 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:

Analyzing the impacts of race, addiction, drug type, and criminal record on public support for criminalized and medicalized sentencing approaches toward illegal drug use

Journal: Journal of Experimental Criminology
Keywords: violent, drug use, cocaine, heroin, drug, addiction, sentencing
Author info: Carolina R. Caliman [+1 other author]

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.
