What was found when researchers studied children who went missing as children over time
According to the first of today’s Five Studies About: The Missing
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 the missing.
These new crime studies related to the missing were recently published by journals I monitor:
1. Missing children, adolescents and young adults: the relationship between age first missing, subsequent missing person reports and other police-related contacts over a 10-year period [Police Practice and Research]
2. Sensing Toxic Injustice: Exploring the Polluting Touch of Colonialism [The British Journal of Criminology]
3. From informing to co-producing: a comparative analysis of citizen participation in missing persons cold cases in England & Wales and the Netherlands using the citizen participation ladder model [International Journal of Comparative and Applied Criminal Justice]
4. The urge to search: cognitive and affective drivers of citizen searches in missing person cases [Police Practice and Research]
5. Enhancing missing persons search strategies through technological touchpoints [Policing and Society]
I might cover some of these studies further in The Practice of Understanding Crime, my other Substack. 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.
