Your First Five Crime Studies of January 18
Today's crime studies include work on forensic mental health research
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.
(Subscribers: If Your First Five doesn't interest you, remember that you can choose which types of posts you receive. Just click ‘Unsubscribe’ at the bottom of any of my emailed posts and select the sections you want on the next screen. It's super quick.)
These new criminology and criminal justice studies were published recently by journals I monitor.
1. Changing environments to promote safety in libraries, published in European Journal of Criminology. (Open access)
2. A systematic scoping review exploring how people with lived experience have been involved in prison and forensic mental health research, published in Criminal Behaviour and Mental Health. (Restricted access)
3. The Mediating Effects of Extended Family Support and Relationship Change on Romantic Bonding and Support in Romantic Relationship Among Incarcerated Men, published in Victims & Offenders. (Restricted access)
4. The Prevalence of Trauma Among Participants in a Juvenile Mental Health Court, published in Criminal Justice and Behavior. (Restricted access)
5. Information security for criminological ethnographers, published in Crime, Media, Culture: An International Journal. (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 1.
