Why “young people” were essential to creating a drug outreach program FOR “young people” in England
As found in one of the studies in today's Crime Research Update
Hello! I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is The Art of Explaining Crime, an 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. The directory includes, for example, this study listing:
Journal: Drugs: Education, Prevention and Policy
Keywords: drug, policy
First author: Zoë Welch (Change Grow Live) [+4 other authors]
In this study, researchers found that “young people” were essential during every stage of developing drug outreach services for people age 16 to 25, including reviewing and improving digital outreach on social media. They also found that strengths-based approaches were more effective than those that avoided attempts to influence behaviour by fear.
You’ll find more listings for today’s new research below.

The research listings for today's research are sorted by two broad categories: crime type and criminal justice/legal system stage. Research that doesn’t get sorted into those categories follows under “Unsorted Research.”
Three weeks from now, the rest of this paid tip sheet unlocks and free subscribers will be notified by email.
