Your First Five Crime Studies of May 21
All of today's research relates to the criminal justice system
Hello! 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 tip sheet (M-F) that publishes a curated selection of recent research related to crime and justice. Each tip sheet contains links to new studies (each related to a single topic) that I hope will enhance your work explaining crime. The publication schedule is in flux until June.
These new studies related to criminology and criminal justice were published recently by journals I monitor.
1. Staff As a Conduit for Contraband: Developing and Testing Key Assumptions of Professional Boundary Violations in Prison [Deviant Behavior]
2. “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]
3. Police leaders’ support for civilian oversight and implicit bias training: assessing the influence of perceptions of systemic racism [Police Practice and Research]
4. Institutional Betrayal in the Criminal and Civil Legal Systems: Exploratory Factor Analysis with a Sample of Black and Hispanic Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence [Journal of Interpersonal Violence]
5. U.S. Law Enforcement Officers’ Stress, Job Satisfaction, Job Performance, and Resilience: A National Sample [Police Quarterly]
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. That system is intended to furnish a wide variety of crime research leads and facilitate choices of what new research to actually report on, both for myself and for the journalists among you. I hope others will find these tip sheets useful too.
