Your First Five Crime Studies of January 24
Today's crime studies include work on "cyber-sexual violence against women"
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 (M-F) series that publishes a curated selection of recent research related to crime and justice. Each post contains links to new studies that I hope will enhance your work explaining crime. Published each weekday at about 7 a.m., E.S.T.
These new criminology and criminal justice studies were published recently by journals I monitor.
1. Making Visible the Myths About Cyber-Sexual Violence Against Women: An Analysis of Social Reactions Toward Victims on Twitter, published in Journal of Interpersonal Violence. (Restricted access)
2. Substance Use and Associated Experiences of Intimate Partner Violence Among MSM in Los Angeles, California, published in Journal of Interpersonal Violence. (Restricted access)
3. Examining the use of interactive video-based simulators in law enforcement human performance research: A scoping review, published in Journal of Experimental Criminology. (Restricted access)
4. Prison Overcrowding and Harsh Conditions: Health and Human Rights Concerns to Persons in Custody, Staff, and the Community, published in Criminal Justice and Behavior. (Open access)
5. Veterans Treatment Courts: A Nationwide Review of Enacting and Eligibility State Statutes, published in Victims & Offenders. (Restricted access)
I might cover some of these studies further in Understanding Crime. If one sounds interesting or important, let me know in the comments.
Right now, I'm considering number 1. Here’s why:
This research therefore aimed to explore the negative attitudes or myths that serve to justify, minimize, and deny the experiences of cyber-sexual violence disclosed by women on Twitter. Using a thematic analysis, we analyzed 4,048 replies to 18 experiences reported on Twitter around the time of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
