Why this exists

Criminologists already know how to study people; user-experience teams already know how to ship. The handbook is the connective tissue — a plain-language, citation-rich bridge between the two crafts, with a bibliography of what's been studied and a list of what hasn't. It is a service of the CrimRxiv Consortium, part of our mission to make criminology useful. Find free, open-access criminology research at CrimRxiv.
