Your First Five Crime Studies of August 6
All of today's research relates to serial murder
Hello! I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is Explaining Crime, an independent newsletter that helps you think and write about crime responsibly. Sign up here:
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. “Baggage in the business”: The investigative challenges of serial homicide [The Police Journal: Theory, Practice and Principles]
2. Multiple homicide: a descriptive study of serial homicide and mass murder in England and Wales [The Journal of Forensic Psychiatry & Psychology]
3. Behavioral Profiling in the Golden State Killer Investigation: A Comparative Analysis [Homicide Studies]
4. The Life-Course Theory of Serial Killing: A Motivation Model [International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology]
5. Evaluating the use of data-based offender profiling by researchers, practitioners and investigative journalists to address unresolved serial homicides [Journal of Criminal Psychology]
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.
