Your First Five Crime Studies of January 22
Today's crime studies include work on "homicide followed by suicide"
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. “When Can I Call Home?” Coercive Control, Structural Isolation, and Functional Isolation Among Attendees of Residential Behavioral Modification Programs, published in Journal of Interpersonal Violence. (Restricted access)
2. Discretion and Disagreement: A Longitudinal Study of Departures Under Presumptive and Advisory Sentencing Guidelines, published in Crime & Delinquency. (Restricted access)
3. Religion, Accountability, and the Risk of Aggressive Misconduct Among Prisoners: Preliminary Evidence of Restorative Rehabilitation, published in International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology. (Restricted access)
4. Examining the Effects of Key Workplace Variables on Job Burnout of Southern Prison Staff, published in The Prison Journal. (Restricted access)
5. A systematic review of literature on homicide followed by suicide and mental state of perpetrators, published in Criminal Behaviour and Mental Health. (Open 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 5.
