Your First Five Crime Studies of July 4
All of today's research relates to gunshot detection technology
Hello! I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is Explaining Crime, an independent newsletter that helps you read, think, and write about crime. Critically, accurately, responsibly, and ethically.
Published Tuesdays and Thursdays, Your First Five is a free tip sheet made up of a curated selection of recent research related to crime and justice.
The first two of the following studies were published recently by journals I monitor. The rest were published on the same topic (gunshot detection technology) in the last five years.
1. Space-Time Association between Gunshot Detection Alerts, Calls for Service, and Police Enforcement in Chicago: Differences Across Citizen Race and Incident Type [Journal of Quantitative Criminology]
2. Staggered deployment of gunshot detection technology in Chicago, IL: a matched quasi-experiment of gun violence outcomes [Journal of Experimental Criminology]
3. Gunshot detection technology effect on gun violence in Kansas City, Missouri: A microsynthetic control evaluation [Criminology & Public Policy]
4. Impact of ShotSpotter Technology on Firearm Homicides and Arrests Among Large Metropolitan Counties: a Longitudinal Analysis, 1999–2016 [Journal of Urban Health]
5. Acoustic gunshot detection systems: a quasi-experimental evaluation in St. Louis, MO [Journal of Experimental Criminology]
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.
