Hello! I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is The Art of Explaining Crime, an independent newsletter that helps you think and write about crime responsibly.
Published Tuesdays and Thursdays, Your First Five is a free tip sheet made up of a curated selection of recent crime and justice research that’s related to one topic.
These new studies related to criminology and criminal justice were published recently by journals I monitor.
1. Risk for Violent and IPV Recidivism Among Incarcerated Men With a History of IPV Perpetration: An Examination of the Predictive Validity of the ODARA, DVRAG, and PCL-R [Criminal Justice and Behavior]
2. Criminal Histories, Risk Profiles, and Predictors of Recidivism Among Men Who Sexually Offend Over the Age of 60 Years [Crime & Delinquency]
3. The Effectiveness of Intimate Partner Violence Interventions by the Police, Prosecutors, and Courts [Criminal Justice and Behavior]
4. Does Being Over 60 Years Old at Index Offense Impact Sexual Recidivism Risk? A Large-Scale Comparison of Men Released Over the Age of 60 [Sexual Abuse]
5. Cumulative Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and Recidivism: A Meta-Analysis [Criminal Justice and Behavior]
I might cover some of these studies further in The Practice of Understanding Crime. If one sounds interesting or important, let me know in the comments:
Your First Five and the  directories I'm experimenting with are the output of my research discovery system.
