Risk and Protective Factors for Child Sexual Abuse
Researching the risk and protective factors for child sexual abuse (CSA) is important for developing CSA-prevention methods. However, research regarding the changes in the significance of these factors over time is scarce. This current study examined the risk and protective factors for CSA in 2022 and compared them to those recorded in 2013. It was based on Finnish child victim surveys conducted in 2013 and 2022 with representative samples of Fin…
Reporting Child Abuse to Police
Violence against children is a serious problem that society must address as effectively as possible. In Finland, efforts to address violence against children have included strengthening the role of the police in such cases. Since 2015, professionals have been legally required to report suspected child abuse directly to the police, with a reporting threshold that is exceptionally low by international comparison. This article examines national crim…
Violent and sexual victimisation and incident anxiety, mood and substance use disorders in childhood and adolescence
BACKGROUND: Studies on the association between victimisation in childhood and adolescence and psychiatric disorders increasingly acknowledge that these associations might be partly confounded by unmeasured familial factors. However, previous quasi-experimental evidence is largely based on retrospective self-reported data with potential response biases and small samples. METHODS: We measured psychiatric disorders and victimisation events from rout…
Cybercrime Correlates Among Adolescents in Europe and South America
Cybercrime is increasingly recognized as a global issue, with adolescents being a key group as crime trends shift online. However, relatively little is known about the prevalence of cybercrime, its specific risk factors, and how they differ across high and low-middle-income countries. This highlights the need for more cross-national comparative studies on the cybercriminal behavior of young people. This study examines the prevalence of four types…
Growing Up Amidst Active Warfare
Armed conflicts violate young people's rights by exposing them to violence and trauma, disrupting their sense of safety. This study examines how Russia's war against Ukraine affects Ukrainian adolescents' lives. The study utilizes data from Let's Chat, a free, low-threshold support service for Ukrainian-speaking children and youths. We analyzed 185 chat conversations between chat workers and Ukrainian adolescents using data-driven thematic analys…
Self-censorship among online harassment targets
Online harassment of professionals with public visibility has many potentially harmful societal consequences, including its probable silencing effect. Targeted individuals may refrain from voicing their opinion, which can negatively affect their professional and personal lives, but also the quality of public debate. This study examined the effect of perceived social support at work and perceived organizational support on self-censorship in respon…
The Expressed Worries of Ukrainian Adolescents
Children and adolescents are particularly vulnerable to warfare and military violence. In this study, we aim to shed light on adolescents’ experiences during times of war in a natural help-seeking environment. We use survey data obtained from two real-time online chat services designed for Ukrainian-speaking children and adolescents and explore young people’s ( n = 1,471) personal experiences during Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. It …
Social media use in professional organizations
Social media use in professional organisations can have several psychological and physiological consequences. The aim of this study was to examine how social media is used in five professional organisations from distinct occupational fields and how such use relates to job demands, job resources, and personal resources. We collected survey data (N = 563) to analyze professional social media use. We also conducted theory-driven content analysis uti…
Post-release outcomes of lethal and non-lethal offenders
This study examines post-release outcomes of former prisoners convicted of severe violence. We use random intercept models to compare recidivism and participation in employment or education among Finnish offenders convicted of homicide (n = 509), attempted homicide (n = 800), or aggravated assault (n = 1714). A matching algorithm is used to adjust for observed preexisting differences among the three offender groups. Within 3 years post-release, 5…
Does early drug use‐related police contact predict premature mortality and morbidity
Parental Worries, Child Maltreatment Risk and Empowerment
Parental empowerment has been related to their well-being and self-efficacy. Learning more about the signs describing child maltreatment risk are crucial for the welfare of children and families. The aim of this study was to assess the risk of child maltreatment (CM) and related worrying factors of parents and associations between the CM risk, worries and parental empowerment. The study is based on self-report surveys administered to parents in p…
Health Promotion Actions and School Violence—A Cluster Analysis from Finnish Comprehensive Schools
(1) Schools have a significant role in violence prevention activities. This study aimed to first identify profiles of Finnish comprehensive schools based on school violence. The second aim was to examine the associations between profiles concerning health promotion actions, reactive or punitive actions, and school characteristics. (2) The study used the large-scale, nationally representative Benchmarking System of Health Promotion Capacity-Buildi…
Cyberharassment Victimization on Three Continents
This article introduces and applies an integrative model of cyberharassment victimization. The model combines routine activity theory (RAT), the general theory of crime (GTC), and the personal resources approach to analyze risk factors for victimization while acknowledging the protective role of a sense of mastery. Survey respondents were aged 15 to 25 years ( N = 4816) from the U.S., Finland, Spain, and South Korea. Logistic regression models we…
Best Served Cold
Research has identified several predictors of violence; however, few studies have examined the role of revenge as a motivating factor of violent delinquency. In this study, we use multilevel logistic regression models to examine the relationship between beliefs favorable to revenge and violent behavior among a random sample of 6061 adolescents in Finnish schools. The results show that established predictors of violence, such as peer delinquency, …

Online Peers and Offline Highs
Research indicates that youths are particularly susceptible to peer influence and that identifying with substance using peer groups predicts substance use. Today, youth spend more time interacting with distal peer groups via the Internet and have increased access to online drug cultures. Theoretically, this should have important implications for substance use. This study employs a nationally representative sample of U.S. youth (n = 1212), ages 15…

Does Parental Control Moderate the Effect of Low Self-Control on Adolescent Offline and Online Delinquency
The article elaborates on central interpretations of the general theory of crime regarding parental control, self-control, and delinquency by analyzing the effect of parental control on the association between low self-control and adolescents’ offline and online delinquency. Analyses employ mediation and moderation models via structural equation modeling with a nationally representative sample of Finnish adolescents (N = 6,061). Results indicate …
Professional social media usage
Social media enables information sharing and social interaction within organization. This research aims to analyze how both work- and nonwork-related communication with colleagues and the work community on social media is associated with work engagement among Finnish professionals. A total of five Finnish professional organizations ( N = 563) and a representative sample of the Finnish working population ( N = 1817) contributed to the survey data,…
Individual and community-level predictors of hate-crime victimization among Finnish adolescents
Previous studies have explained hate-crime victimization using lifestyle-routine activities theory and social disorganization theory. This approach has yielded mixed findings regarding community characteristics due to the limitations of the measures used. Our study examined the effects of multiple individual-level factors and a neighborhood’s economic status, residential instability, and ethnic heterogeneity on hate-crime victimization. We used s…
Trauma and violent offending among adolescents
Background Earlier studies, based on data collected among juvenile court clients or prisoners, suggest that there is an association between trauma and adolescent-onset offending. However, there is a lack of large-scale data on juvenile violence and clinical mental health observations with unselected participants, and a risk-factor-oriented research combining multiple variables affecting violent behaviour. Methods We analyse the effect of trauma o…

Recording of offences on police domestic violence call outs
Due to new legislation passed in 2011, Finnish police have been legally obligated to record and investigate all assaults, including petty assaults, occurring in close relationships. Referred to as domestic violence (DV), these assaults can be prosecuted even without victim consent. Much like pro- and mandatory arrest policies, this reform was aimed at decreasing victim and police discretion, based on the assumption that recording and preliminary …
Adolescent depression and school social support
This study invokes the ecological approach to social support by examining how school social support relates to moderate or severe adolescent depression. School is seen as not only a place for supportive individual‐level relationships, but also as a source of community support created by teachers and other students. The main purpose of the study is to examine whether school‐level social support is related to adolescent depression and, if so, how m…

A multifaceted risk analysis of fathers’ self‐reported physical violence toward their children
Existing research has shown that child maltreatment is carried out by both mothers and fathers. There is also an extensive body of literature analyzing reasons for mothers' violent behavior. Among fathers, reasons are less well studied, resulting in the lack of a comprehensive picture of paternal child abuse. In this study, 20 child-, parent-, and family-related factors have been included in a combined analysis to assess which of these may pose a…

Children’s Experiences of Completing a Computer-Based Violence Survey
This article aims to contribute to the discussion about the ethics of research on children when studying sensitive issues such as violence. The empirical analysis is based on the accounts given by children (11 377) who completed a computer-based questionnaire about their experiences of violence (‘The Finnish Child Victim Survey 2008’) and their reflections on the survey. We argue that experiences of violence should not be excluded from the resear…
Crime or not?’ – police officers' perceptions of disciplinary violence, its criminalisation and its investigation
Disciplinary violence against children is banned by law in Finland. According to the Finnish Criminal Code, acts of disciplinary violence fall under the category of assault. In most cases, disciplinary violence fulfils at least the essential elements of petty assault. Despite these efforts, disciplinary violence is still prevalent. Previous research has also shown that authorities find it difficult to identify cases of disciplinary violence and i…

Cross-Cultural Validation of the Child Abuse Potential Inventory in Finland
In order to decrease physical child abuse, measures to recognize parents' abuse potential are needed. In this article, cross-cultural validation of the Child Abuse Potential (CAP) Inventory, an American measure was used to screen child abuse potential in families. Data were collected in 2012 from Finnish families expecting a baby at maternity and child welfare clinics. The data come from 380 families, including 375 mothers and 303 spouses. The va…
