Your First Five Crime Studies of January 8
Today's crime studies include work on children's true and false memory reports
Your First Five is a daily (M-F) series that publishes a curated selection of recent research published in fields relevant to crime and justice. Each post contains links to five new studies that I hope might inspire, augment, or otherwise enhance your work explaining crime. Your First Five crime studies of the day is 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. Patterns of Avoidance Behavior in Response to Fear of Victimization in the Mexican Context: A Latent Class Analysis, published in Journal of Interpersonal Violence. (Free access)
2. Discernment of Children’s True and False Memory Reports: Police Officers and Laypersons, published in Journal of Interpersonal Violence. (Free access)
3. Factors Associated with Sexual Victimization Among Transgender Emerging Adults, published in Journal of Interpersonal Violence. (Free 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 2.
