New research comes out all the time. I track what’s published by a curated list of criminological and criminal justice journals to find studies to write about. Here’s what I found for the last few days. Help yourself.
New scholarly journal articles
- Recognizing the Paradigm of the Unknowing Victim and the Implications of Liminality, published in The British Journal of Criminology. [Add to queue: Yes. Keywords: Unknowing victim, ethical ramifications, liminality. Notes: First article in a while that evoked a reaction of, “Whoa. This is new.” I’m not sure which audience this would be for, but I think I’ll cover it.]

[Add to queue: No. Keywords: Probation, emerging adults, randomized controlled trial, recidivism, Hidalgo County Emerging Adult Strategy. Where’s Hidalgo County? I feel like this is research that’s a story for that area, and that could be relevant anywhere. Probation is an anywhere issue.]
