Your First Five Crime Studies of February 1
Today's crime studies include work on adolescent vaping
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. From evidence to practice: how to increase procedurally just practice in the handling of prison complaints, published in Journal of Experimental Criminology. (Restricted access)
2. A serial Mediation Model of Depression and Drinking Motives Underlying Problem Drinking Among Hispanic College Women Following Rape, published in Journal of Interpersonal Violence. (Restricted access)
3. Models of care in secure services for people with intellectual and developmental disability: Implementing the Walkway to Wellness, published in Criminal Behaviour and Mental Health. (Open access)
4. Procedurally just policing and persons in behavioral crises: investigating public perceptions, stigma and emotion, published in Policing: An International Journal. (Restricted access)
5. Further Exploring the Relationship Between Virtual Socializing and Adolescent Vaping Activity, 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:
Changes to policy around inpatient services for people with intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) who offend, have led to a need for services to reconsider their models of care. This has led to calls for more tailored, patient-centred care models, with less reliance solely on offence-related treatment programmes which can be unsuitable for a growing proportion of patients with more complex cognitive and behavioural difficulties.
