Your First Five Crime Studies of September 17
All of today's research relates to guardianship
Hello! I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is The Art of 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 that’s related to one topic.
These new studies related to criminology and criminal justice were published recently by journals I monitor.
1. Active guardianship in urban public places: place attachment and social cohesion [Psychology, Crime & Law]
2. Pacifying problem places: How problem property interventions increase guardianship and reduce disorder and crime [Criminology]
3. The Business of Murder: Business Types and the Moderating Effects of Neighborhood Context on Homicide [Homicide Studies]
4. Private security for curbing unwanted sexual behaviours in train stations: a place-based randomised controlled trial [Journal of Experimental Criminology]
5. Reactive guardianship: Who intervenes? How? And why? [Criminology]
I might cover some of these studies further in The Practice of 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.
