I hope you’ll find some research in this post to write about too. I’d love to read it or watch/listen to it, so please let me know in the comments!
I’m considering the following new research from the last few days for further coverage.
Research in consideration for True Crime Adjacent
1. College men who reported having committed sexual violence were more likely to rate almost all sexual motives highly, including “positive” ones
Research: Motives for Sex and Sexual Perpetration in College Men: An Exploratory Study, published in Sexual Abuse.
2. The MO of sex killers in China who target strangers differs from those who know their victims in ways that can help investigators: research
Research: Nonstranger and Stranger Sexual Homicides in Mainland China: Comparing the Modus Operandi of Male Sexual Murderers, published in Sexual Abuse.
Research in consideration for Nonfiction Crime Writing or End of Sentence
1. Receiving written letters conforming to principles of “procedural justice” reduced future speeding in a random trial in Quensland when sent to speed-camera detected drivers
Research: A procedurally just flyer reduces subsequent speeding offences: evidence from the Queensland Speeding Engagement Trial (QSET), published in Journal of Experimental Criminology.
