Hello! 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 tip sheet (M-F) that publishes a curated selection of recent research related to crime and justice. Each tip sheet contains links to new studies (each related to a single topic) that I hope will enhance your work explaining crime.
These new studies related to criminology and criminal justice were published recently by journals I monitor.
1. Welfare Becomes Punishment: Penal Nationalism in Danish Social Policy [The British Journal of Criminology]
2. Bordered welfare in Australia: Income management as a bordering technology of neoliberal and colonial governance [Punishment & Society]
3. The framing of private security and its regulation in Belgium, 1980–2020 [Criminology & Criminal Justice]
4. Who benefits from criminal legal reform? A natural experiment to assess racial disparities in a policy targeting monetary sanctions [Journal of Experimental Criminology]
5. Depictions of Firearm Violence Perpetrators and Support for Firearm Policies: An Experimental Survey Analysis of Mental Illness and Criminal Background [Crime & Delinquency]
I might cover some of these studies further in 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.
