Your First Five Crime Studies of January 19
Today's crime studies include work on violence against women in Australian true crime podcasts
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.
(Subscribers: If Your First Five doesn't interest you, remember that you can choose which types of posts you receive. Just click ‘Unsubscribe’ at the bottom of any of my emailed posts and select the sections you want on the next screen. It's super quick.)
These new criminology and criminal justice studies were published recently by journals I monitor.
1. Examining how credibility shapes public perception of police interventions in the media, published in Policing: An International Journal. (Restricted access)
2. Entrepreneurship and Criminal Justice Populations: A Social Cognitive Perspective, published in International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology. (Restricted access)
3. Illicit Alcohol Markets and Everyday Crime: A Historical Reconceptualization, published in The British Journal of Criminology. (Restricted access)
4. “I Worry About My Kids’ Safety When They Visit”: Mothers’ Perceptions of Father/Child Post-Separation Contact in the Context of IPV, published in Violence Against Women. (Open access)
5. Harnessing media as a site of change: locating public engagement with stories about violence against women in Australia, published in Current Issues in Criminal Justice. (Open 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.
