Your First Five Crime Studies of February 16
Today's crime studies include work on school bullying victimization
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 (M-F) series that publishes a curated selection of recent research related to crime and justice. Each post contains links to new studies that I hope will enhance your work explaining crime. Published each weekday at about 7 a.m., E.S.T.
These new criminology and criminal justice studies were published recently by journals I monitor.
1. The Well-Being of Older Offenders on Release in the Community, published in International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology. (Restricted access)
2. The predictability of court-adjudicated compensation for pain and suffering damages within the criminal proceedings and the role of victim labels: A case study on victims of sexual crime in the Netherlands, published in Criminology & Criminal Justice. (Restricted access)
3. Sex Differences in the Relationship Between School Bullying Victimization and Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: The Roles of Insecure Attachment, published in Journal of Interpersonal Violence. (Restricted access)
4. Incarcerated Veterans and their Adaptation to Prison, published in American Journal of Criminal Justice. (Restricted access)
5. Unpacking the Mechanisms Connecting: Internal and External Procedural Fairness, published in Crime & Delinquency. (Restricted access)
I might cover some of these studies further in Understanding Crime. If one sounds interesting or important, let me know in the comments.
Right now, I'm considering number 3. Here's why:
These findings suggest that attachment is critical in understanding how school bullying victimization may lead to CPTSD symptoms among individuals of different sexes.
