Here are the research studies that came out in the last few days in the journals I monitor. I haven’t decided which studies to consider for coverage in True Crime Adjacent (TCA), Nonfiction Crime Writing (NCW), or End of Sentence (EoS).
I’m going to take a closer look and plan to briefly summarize the findings of any that look promising. I’ll publish those summaries for Patrons soon. Then I’ll decide which of these “shorts” to publish in TCA, NCW, or EoS. Finally, I may decide to cover some of those studies in some depth.
As always, I hope you’ll find some research to write about yourself. I’d love to read it or watch/listen to it, so please let me know in the comments!
