These new criminology and criminal justice studies were published recently by journals I monitor.

1. The Effect of Parental Abuse and Negative School Experiences on Female Adolescent’s Substance Use: Focusing on the Mediating Effect of Depression, published in Crime & Delinquency.

2. Violence Against Women: Experiences of Eritrean Refugee Women in Britain, published in Violence Against Women.

3. Multiple functions of immigration detention: Police measures in the governance of mobile populations, published in Punishment & Society.

4. The obsolescence of detention: Versatility, expendability and plasticity in the field of immigration confinement, published in Punishment & Society.

5. The effect of checklists on evidence collection during initial investigations: a randomized controlled trial in virtual reality, published in Journal of Experimental Criminology.

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 5.
