Your First Five Crime Studies of May 17
All of today's research relates to indigenous peoples
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. “We Get Our Healing Through Traditional Ways”: Canadian Indigenous Women's Use of Violence Against Women Shelters, Mainstream Counseling, and Traditional Healing, published in Violence Against Women.
2. Social Framework Testimony and Race Salience: Examining Bias Correction in the Current Context, published in Justice Quarterly.
3. “He Stole My Meds to Get High:” The Mental Health and Well-Being of Women Abused by Intimate Partners and Their Disability Status, published in Journal of Interpersonal Violence.
4. “Never Give Up. The Creator Has Good Things in Store for You”: Risk Factors, Protective Factors, and Evidence of Resilience for Canadian Indigenous Women Abused by Intimate Partners, published in Violence Against Women.
5. Working Through Desistance: Employment in Women’s Identity and Relational Desistance, published in The British Journal of Criminology.
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.
Thanks for sharing and I look forward to checking in and seeing whether future ones are relevant to our research areas.
