Hello! I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is Explaining Crime, an independent newsletter that helps you explain crime to your audience.
Your First Five is a daily tip sheet (M-F) that publishes a curated selection of recent research related to crime and justice. Each tip sheet contains links to new studies (each related to a single topic) that I hope will enhance your work explaining crime.
These new studies related to criminology and criminal justice were published recently by journals I monitor.
1. European Homicide Monitor: Research, New Developments, and Future [Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice]
2. Homicide Patterns and Trends in Europe and Beyond: Introduction to the Special Issue [Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice]
3. Intimate Partner Homicide Prevention Among Latinas: A Qualitative Study of Risk and Protective Factors [Homicide Studies]
4. Understanding homicide–suicide, next steps in research [Criminal Behaviour and Mental Health]
5. Intimate Partner Violence in El Salvador: A Relationship Between Femicide Attempts and Barriers to Help-Seeking [Violence Against Women]
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.
Thanks as ever for all you hard work! 'Homicide Patterns & Trends in Europe and Beyond' definitely sounds like something I might mention in a lecture or newsletter!
