How victim and offence characteristics affect homicide case clearance
According to the first of today's Five Studies About: Case Clearance
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 case clearance.
These new crime studies related to case clearance were recently published by journals I monitor:
1. Homicides in England and Wales: The Effects of Victim and Offense Characteristics on Case Clearance [Homicide Studies]
2. When DNA Is and Isn’t Magic: A Conjunctive Analysis of How Context Matters in Homicide Investigations [Homicide Studies]
3. Assessing the potential benefits of community-based violence reduction efforts on clearance rates [Police Practice and Research]
4. Deadnamed and Denied Justice: The Role of Deadnaming and Other Factors in Transgender Homicide Clearance [Homicide Studies]
5. Creating Solvability With Real-Time Crime Centers (RTCCs): Impacts on Homicide and Shooting Investigations [Police Quarterly]
I might cover some of these studies further in The Practice of Understanding Crime, my newsletter where I report on criminology and criminal justice research. 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.
