Your First Five Crime Studies of July 18
All of today's research relates to 911-call diversion programs
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.
These new studies related to criminology and criminal justice were published recently by journals I monitor.
1. Diverting 911 calls: Lessons from early adopting urban jurisdictions [Criminology & Public Policy]
2. “Able to stop things from escalating” – Stakeholders’ perspectives of police, ambulance and mental health co-response to 911-mental health calls [The Police Journal: Theory, Practice and Principles]
3. Policing mental illness: Police use of section 136 – Perspectives from police and mental-health nurses [Medicine, Science and the Law]
4. A community response approach to mental health and substance abuse crises reduced crime [Science Advances]
5. A Model to Assess the Feasibility of 911 Call Diversion Programs [Justice Quarterly]
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.
