Your First Five Crime Studies of January 31
Today's crime studies include work on remote courts
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. Understanding homicide–suicide, next steps in research, published in Criminal Behaviour and Mental Health. (Restricted access)
2. Revisiting the Harm of Hate: A Quasi-Experimental Approach Using the National Crime Victimization Survey, published in Journal of Interpersonal Violence. (Restricted access)
3. Mechanisms, timing, and types of the relationship between paternal criminal justice involvement and children’s health: a sibling comparison analysis, published in Journal of Experimental Criminology. (Restricted access)
4. Exploring the Association between Levels of Police Presence, Contact, and Perceptions of Police Legitimacy, published in Crime & Delinquency. (Restricted access)
5. Public perceptions of remote courts and equal access: who prefers remote video proceedings and why?, published in Current Issues in Criminal Justice. (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 5. Here's why:
…little research has studied public attitudes about remote court despite the relationship between public opinion and court legitimacy. This study helps fill that gap by surveying public attitudes about remote courts, including who prefers remote courts to traditional in-person proceedings and why they prefer them.
