Your First Five Crime Studies of January 9
Today's crime studies include work on "A Relationship Between Femicide Attempts and Barriers to Help-Seeking"
Your First Five is a daily (M-F) series that publishes a curated selection of recent research published in fields relevant to crime and justice. Each post contains links to five new studies that I hope might inspire, augment, or otherwise enhance your work explaining crime. Your First Five crime studies of the day is published each weekday at about 7 a.m., E.S.T.
