How sexual homicides of hitchhikers differ from those of sex workers
According to the first of today's Five Studies About: Homicide
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 homicide.
These new crime studies related to homicide were recently published by journals I monitor:
1. Lost Highways: An Examination of the Question of Risk Involved in Sexual Homicides of Hitchhiking Victims [International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology]
2. Chronic Offending and Its Relation to Homicide in a Large, Prospective Brazilian Birth Cohort [Criminal Behaviour and Mental Health]
3. Characterizing Violent Fatalities Among People Experiencing Homelessness Using the National Violent Death Reporting System, 2010 to 2021 [Journal of Interpersonal Violence]
4. The Role of Psychopathic Traits in Subtypes of Family Homicide [Deviant Behavior]
5. The Killing of Cousins and Siblings‐In‐Law in Korea: A Descriptive Study [Journal of Investigative Psychology and Offender Profiling]
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.
