Hello! I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is Explaining Crime, an independent newsletter that helps you read, think, and write about crime. Critically, accurately, responsibly, and ethically.
Published Tuesdays and Thursdays, Your First Five is a free tip sheet made up of a curated selection of recent research related to crime and justice.
These new studies related to criminology and criminal justice were published recently by journals I monitor.
1. Behind the yellow sticker: paradoxical effects of a visual warning of body-worn cameras on the use of police force [Journal of Experimental Criminology]
2. Peer Victimization and Adolescent Mental Health: School-level Victimization as a Moderator [Journal of Interpersonal Violence]
3. Temporary Trust: Legal Cynicism, Protection, and the Paradox of Victim Participation in Justice [Women & Criminal Justice]
4. ‘Hazardous on My Soul’: (Dis)compassion and Emotive Dissonance in Prison Work [The British Journal of Criminology]
5. Human rights paradox: Explaining the undeportability of irregular Chinese migrants in the UK [Theoretical Criminology]
I might cover some of these studies further in 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.
