Take a look at these new criminology & criminal justice studies from the journals I monitor.

1. Support seeking, system avoidance, and citizenship: Social safety net usage after incarceration, published in journal error.

2. Working to Reduce Crime: Exploring the Link Between Economic Participation and Crime Rates in Forsyth County, N.C. Neighborhoods, published in Crime & Delinquency.

3. Contested Neighborhood Boundaries and Intergroup and Intragroup Violence, published in Crime & Delinquency.

4. “We Are People Who Kill…Murder Machines” An Empirical Study of Lifetime Inmate Homicide among Capital Defendants, published in American Journal of Criminal Justice.

5. Intimate Partner Homicide: Comparison Between Homicide and Homicide-Suicide in Portugal, published in Journal of Interpersonal Violence.

I might cover some of these in Understand Crime. If you’d like me to cover any study in particular, highlight it and comment “Cover?” (or something like that).
