Hello! I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is Explaining Crime, an independent newsletter that helps you read, think, and write about crime. Critically, accurately, responsibly, and ethically.
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. Time in Crime: An Added Dimension to the Study of Crime Guns [American Journal of Criminal Justice]
2. Firearms, policy, and intimate partner homicide: A structural and disaggregated examination of Black, Latina, and White female victimization [Criminology]
3. Firearm and Criminal Milieu Homicide in Sweden [Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice]
4. Exposure to Neighborhood Violence and Gun Carrying Among Adolescents in the United States: Findings From A Population-Based Study [Journal of Interpersonal Violence]
5. Timely Intelligence Enhances Criminal Investigations: Investigators’ Ratings of Ballistics Imaging Across Three Cities [Crime & Delinquency]
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.
