Your First Five Crime Studies of July 23
All of today's research relates to police "use of force"
Hello! I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is 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 research related to crime and justice.
These new studies related to criminology and criminal justice were published recently by journals I monitor.
1. Community Policing Policies and the Use of Lethal Force: Revisiting the Effects of Policing Policies on Police Department Organizational Culture [Deviant Behavior]
2. Participant accounts of police violence during black lives matter protests in Chicago [Policing and Society]
3. The “Reasonableness Divide”: Comparing Community Members’ Assessments of Force Reasonableness to Legal Standards [Justice Quarterly]
4. Finding the path of least resistance: An examination of officer communication tactics and their impact on suspect compliance [Criminology & Public Policy]
5. Neck‐restraint bans, law enforcement officer unions, and police killings [Criminology & Public Policy]
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.
