What processes drive change in men court-mandated to attend domestic violence programs?
As found in one of the studies in this week's Crime Research Update: Crime Type 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. This week’s directory includes, for example, this study listing:
Changes in Sexist Beliefs and Psychological Flexibility Among Men Court-Mandated to Domestic Violence Programs — Journal of Interpersonal Violence, Amie Zarling (Iowa State University, Ames, USA), Meg Berta (Iowa State University, Ames, USA), Carl F.

You’ll find more listings for this week’s new research below.
