Your First Five Crime Studies of March 18
Each of today's crime studies relates to intimate partner violence
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.
These new criminology and criminal justice studies were published recently by journals I monitor:
1. Resilience Across the Life Course for Women Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence, published in Violence Against Women. (Open access)
2. Composite Experiences of Intimate Partner Violence in Women: A Qualitative Meta-Synthesis, published in Victims & Offenders. (Restricted access)
3. Supportive Interventions of Chinese Police in Domestic Violence: Do Officer Knowledge and Training Matter?, published in Journal of Interpersonal Violence. (Open access)
4. Women’s Life Strains, Race/Ethnicity, and Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration, published in Crime & Delinquency. (Restricted access)
5. Consanguineous Marriages and the Perception of Wife-Beating Justification in Pakistan: An Application of Fairlie Decomposition Analysis, published in Journal of Interpersonal Violence. (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 2. Here's why:
Three core themes emerged characterizing the comprehensive experiences of women enduring IPV: 1) experiencing violence as a form of ownership, 2) feeling powerless in a society that condones violence, and 3) suffering oppression in a male-dominated society.
