How the system revictimizes victims in sex offences, as seen by police
As found in one of the studies in this week's Crime Research Update: Crime Stage 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. For example:
Police officers’ perspectives on the secondary victimisation of rape and serious sexual assault victims (Psychology, Crime & Law) Anna Gekoski, Miranda A. H. Horvath, Kari Davies (License)
You’ll find more listings below.
I’ve sorted the research into rough categories I’m calling “crime stages.”
