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. Exposing, Reversing, and Inheriting Crimes as Traumas from the Neurosciences to Epigenetics: Why Criminal Law Cannot Yet Afford A(nother) Biology-induced Overhaul [Criminal Justice Ethics]
2. Trauma, PTSD, and Self-Efficacy: Predictors of Cervical Cancer Screening in Sexual Violence Survivors [Journal of Interpersonal Violence]
3. Refugee and migrant women’s pathways into and through prisons: A systematic review of qualitative studies [Criminology & Criminal Justice]
4. Relationships between adverse childhood experiences, attachment, resilience, psychological distress and trauma among forensic mental health populations [The Journal of Forensic Psychiatry & Psychology]
5. The impact of adverse childhood experience and trauma-informed practice training for police in two regions in the United Kingdom [The Police Journal: Theory, Practice and Principles]
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.
