Prosecuting working girls
Case-processing of low-level offenses is an important yet understudied aspect of criminal justice. These offenses can have significant consequences for justice-involved individuals, often serving as entry points into the criminal-legal system. As “gatekeepers” to the justice system, prosecutors play an integral role in this process. As such, it is important to understand prosecutorial discretion within this context. The current study examines pro…
A Person-Centered, Theoretically-Informed Analysis of Gender Differences in Aggression
The “gender gap” in offending is largest for violent crime types, and many theoretical perspectives have attempted to account for this gap. The current study provides unique insight into these issues by using a sample of men and women in prison to examine and explain intentions to be aggressive in response to a hypothetical scenario. Results show that similar factors (e.g., low self-control, prior aggression) predict aggressive responses to a hyp…
The use of help seeking and coping strategies among Bosnian women in domestic violence shelters
Victims/survivors of domestic violence face a variety of decisions in determining whether and from whom to seek help. Although western literature on help-seeking is extensive, few studies have examined help-seeking behaviours of victims/survivors in post-war areas. The current study investigates use of help-seeking behaviours and coping mechanisms among women receiving services from domestic violence shelters in Bosnia and Herzegovina after the w…
Risk factor profile of youth incarcerated for child to parent violence
Gender attitudes and the police in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Utilizing survey data collected from 127 male Bosnian police officers, this study examines the impact attitudes toward women, individual characteristics, and work experiences have on officers’ perceptions of their female colleagues. It is hypothesized that officers who hold more traditional, patriarchal attitudes toward women will view females as incapable of effectively carrying out police work, regardless of their own work experiences, or demog…
The Laws Have Changed, But What About the Police? Policing Domestic Violence in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Despite having received gender sensitivity and domestic violence (DV) education in the post-war reformation era, anecdotal evidence from across Bosnia and Herzegovina indicates that most police officers view DV as a private family affair and continue to hold negative attitudes toward women and DV victims. This study assessed these claims by examining gender and DV attitudes held by 137 Bosnian police officers. It was hypothesized that officers wh…
Bosnian Women and Intimate Partner Violence
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is increasingly viewed as a global social problem. Research examining this issue, however, generally has been limited to North America, leaving an extensive gap in the literature. This study aims to narrow this gap by examining IPV among Bosnian women. Specifically, an exploratory analysis will be structured around two important and interrelated areas: prevelance of IPV and attitudes related to IPV. Approximately 7…
An Exploratory Analysis of Victim Precipitation Among Men and Women Arrested for Intimate Partner Violence
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a complex social problem that has produced a wide variety of explanations. However, few studies have explored what, if any, role victim precipitation plays in IPV. Victim precipitation is generally defined as behavior by the victim that initiates the subsequent behavior of the victimizer; however, studies using this concept have often been accused of subtle and overt victim blaming. Distinguishing victim precipi…
An Examination of the Outcomes of Various Components of a Coordinated Community Response to Domestic Violence by Male Offenders
An Evaluation of Gender Differences in the Implementation and Impact of a Comprehensive Approach to Domestic Violence
The primary goal of society's response to domestic violence is the protection of the victim from further abuse. Recently, the coordinated community response (CCR) has been developed as one example of an approach aimed at reaching this goal. Prior research has generally found support for the model, with male offenders recidivating at lower rates. The current study examines whether a comprehensive, community-based approach is capable of reducing re…
