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 gender.

These new crime studies related to gender were recently published by journals I monitor:
1. Gender Data, Intersectionality, and a Feminist Politics of “Negotiated Refusal” [Violence Against Women]
2. From criminalization to erasure: Project 2025 and anti-trans legislation in the US [Crime, Media, Culture: An International Journal]
3. Prior Sexual Victimization and Rape Myth Acceptance: Direct Victimization, Vicarious Victimization, and Gender [Victims & Offenders]
4. Understanding the Gendered Landscape of the Police Force in China: A Qualitative Study of Chinese Women Police Officers [Feminist Criminology]
5. Adolescent Football Players’ Attitudes in Cyprus Toward Gender Stereotypes, Masculinity, and Gender-Based Violence [Violence Against Women]
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.
