Hello! I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is Explaining Crime, an independent newsletter that helps you think and write about crime responsibly. Sign up here:
Published Tuesdays and Thursdays, Your First Five is a free tip sheet made up of a curated selection of recent crime and justice research.
These new studies related to criminology and criminal justice were published recently by journals I monitor.
1. Intelligent risk management: natural language processing real-time triage of police calls for service [Police Practice and Research]
2. Can We Really Defund the Police? A Nine-Agency Study of Police Response to Calls for Service [Police Quarterly]
3. A Model to Assess the Feasibility of 911 Call Diversion Programs [Justice Quarterly]
4. “Able to stop things from escalating” – Stakeholders’ perspectives of police, ambulance and mental health co-response to 911-mental health calls [The Police Journal: Theory, Practice and Principles]
5. Diverting 911 calls: Lessons from early adopting urban jurisdictions [Criminology & Public Policy]
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.
