Your First Five Crime Studies of March 6
Today's crime studies include work on self control
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 Influence of Parenting on Delinquency: The Mediating Role of Peers and the Moderating Role of Self-Control, published in Criminal Justice and Behavior. (Restricted access)
2. Incapacitated and/or Forcible Rape Experience Predicting College Women's Rape Victim Empathy, published in Violence Against Women. (Restricted access)
3. Humane Interrogation Strategies Are Associated With Confessions, Cooperation, and Disclosure: Evidence From a Field Study of Incarcerated Individuals in the United States, published in Criminal Justice and Behavior. (Restricted access)
4. Affect, emotions, and crime decision-making: emerging insights from immersive 360° video experiments, published in Journal of Experimental Criminology. (Open access)
5. Construction of Capital Among Family Members of People in Prison, published in The British Journal of Criminology. (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 1. Here's why:
The current study has important implications for understanding the role that peers and self-control play on the relationship between specific aspects of parenting. These findings can help to inform intervention and prevention programs that focus on enhancing parenting to reduce delinquency.
