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. Cybercriminal Networks and Operational Dynamics of Business Email Compromise (BEC) Scammers: Insights from the “Black Axe” Confraternity [Deviant Behavior]
2. When a Boy Hurts a Girl in Cyberspace: Facilitators’ Views on Potential Benefits and Challenges in Restorative Justice [Criminal Justice and Behavior]
3. Bi-Directional Exploitation of Human Trafficking Victims: Both Targets and Perpetrators in Cybercrime [Journal of Human Trafficking]
4. Minimizing Responsibility: The Impact of Moral Disengagement on Cyberbullying Perpetration Among Adults [Crime & Delinquency]
5. Malevolent Monitoring: Dark Triad Traits, Cyber Dating Abuse, and the Instrumental Role of Self-Control [Journal of Interpersonal Violence]
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.
