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. The Impact of Intimate Partner Violence on Homelessness and Returns to Housing: A Qualitative Analysis From the California Statewide Study of People Experiencing Homelessness [Journal of Interpersonal Violence]
2. Preventing the Trafficking of Youth: A Retrospective Evaluation of <i>kNow MORE!</i> An Educational Program in San Diego, California [Journal of Human Trafficking]
3. Creating a minority threat: Assessing the spillover effect of local immigrant detention on Hispanic arrests [Criminology]
4. Where Do Cops Stop? A New Dimension to Explore Spatial Patterns of Police Contacts [Criminal Justice and Behavior]
5. Attitudes Toward Police and Judges of Latina Immigrants With a Justice-Involved Child: Do Documentation Status and Family Deportations Matter? [Crime & Delinquency]
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.
