Your First Five Crime Studies of March 4
Today's crime studies include work on intimate partner violence
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. Race, local context, and traffic stops: an examination of racial profiling in traffic stops in rural and non-rural places, published in Policing: An International Journal. (Restricted access)
2. Help or Harm? Criminalizing Intimate Partner Violence and Feminist Abolitionist Frames, published in Violence Against Women. (Restricted access)
3. Intimate Partner Violence Risk Factors: A Vulnerability-Adaptation Stress Model Approach, published in Journal of Interpersonal Violence. (Open access)
4. Correctional Officer Reflections on How to Address Incarcerated People’s Unmet Needs in Canadian Prisons, published in Corrections. (Restricted access)
5. Does Crime Affect Inbound Tourism? Evidence From a Sub-national Perspective in Japan, 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 2. Here's why:
After decades of work by feminists to criminalize domestic violence, more recently feminist abolitionists have identified the harm that the carceral state has on all impacted by it, including victims/survivors … We identify policy interventions that promote alternative methods to intervening in intimate partner violence relationships that center the victim/survivor, create safety, and reduce the increased surveillance and overall impact of the criminal legal system.
