Your First Five Crime Studies of January 12
Today's crime studies include work on music and well-being in prison
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 five new studies that I hope might inspire, augment, or otherwise enhance your work explaining crime. Your First Five is published each weekday at about 7 a.m., E.S.T.
(Subscribers: If you're here for my other content, but 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 these messages 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.

2. Expanding Knowledge About Music and Well-Being in Carceral Settings: A Methodological Review, published in International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology. (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.
