Young Australians and Online Dating: Exploring Risk Awareness and Self-Protection Strategies
Even today, despite widespread warnings and safety guidelines, online dating risks remain a significant concern for young adults. This study empirically investigates the behaviors and beliefs of young Australians (aged 18–30) who use online dating applications and identifies key predictors of the “awareness-adherence gap,” the difference between knowing the risks and executing protective measures. Integrating the Lifestyle-Routine Activities Theo…
Can universal school-based social and emotional learning programs reduce early antisocial behaviours? A systematic review and meta-analysis
Preventing and reducing antisocial behaviour among young people requires multi-tiered solutions involving families, communities and schools. While targeted family and individual-level programs for at-risk children and young people are critical, they can be limited in reach as well as engagement, participation and retention. Universal programs delivered in schools, which have shown evidence of improving social and emotional learning more broadly, …
The Relationship Between Academic Performance and Delinquent Behavior: Focusing on Strains Among Students With Unsatisfactory Academic Performance
While many studies suggest that poor academic performance predicts delinquency, others have argued that the relationship between academic performance and delinquency can be marginal, null, or even spurious. This study examines the relationship between academic performance and delinquent behavior among Korean youth within the general strain framework, utilizing data from the Korean Child and Youth Panel Survey. Using a sample of 2,378 students fro…
Assessing the restorativeness of American school discipline programmes
Assessing the restorativeness of American school discipline programmes Restorative justice principles have been lauded for their potential to decrease school-based disparities in discipline, especially owing to the disproportionately negative impact on minority students and students with disabilities. Despite high levels of financial investment, little remains known about the quality of restorative justice programmes or the specific mechanism by …
American uniqueness revisited: A comparative examination of two school shootings using the path to intended violence
Although often perceived to be a uniquely American phenomenon, mass shootings in schools across the globe have led to continued concerns about how to keep educational institutions safe. To identify opportunities for intervention and prevention of these tragedies, this study utilises a comparative case study approach. Specifically, we analyse the events leading up to the mass shootings at Municipal School Tasso da Silveira in Rio de Janeiro (Reale…
The Effects of School Police Officers on Victimization, Delinquency, and Fear of Crime: Focusing on Korean Youth
As a response to rising concerns about school violence, the Korean National Police Agency began recruiting specialized police officers, called Korean School Police Officers (KSPOs), in hopes that they would reduce in school behavioral and delinquency problems. The current study provides insight into the effects of crime prevention activities in Korean schools, using the 2014 Korean Youth Victimization Survey to advance the knowledge about the rol…
Experiences Versus Perceptions: Do Students Agree That They Have Been Bullied
Each year, an estimated 30% of school children experience bullying by their classmates. While research has explored the prevalence of bullying, the causes of bullying, and the consequences of bullying, less attention has been focused on understanding how students define bullying experiences. Utilizing a school-based sample of students ranging from fifth to eighth grade, we examine the concordance between the experience of situations defined as 'b…
War Abroad and Homicides at Home: Evidence from the United States
We analyze why domestic homicide rates in a country sending troops into war increase with some international wars, but not others. Drawing from research on the brutalization effect, we first explain how war can have an effect on homicides through individuals learning acceptable behavior from the state. Second, we explain why we observe the brutalization effect with some wars, but not others. We argue that illegitimate wars are associated with inc…
Examining general strain: Using subjective and objective measures of academic strain to predict delinquency
General Strain Theory (GST) places importance on the experience of negative emotional states resulting from exposure to stressful and/or negative events. Subsequent research has suggested that identifying strain might be contingent upon the use of objective or subjective measures of strain, and that the types of delinquent outcomes assessed might mediate the significance of the findings. Using a sample of nontraditional high school students, this…
The All-volunteer Force and Crime: The Effects of Military Participation on Offending Behavior
Sampson and Laub's age-graded theory of informal social control posits that social bonds created through marriage, military, and employment lead to a decrease of criminal behavior or desistance. Most research has focused primarily on the roles of marriage and employment in this process, ignoring the impact of military service on future offending behavior. However, recent US military involvement in the Middle East suggests that the effects of mili…
The Intersection of Perceptions and Experiences of Bullying by Race and Ethnicity among Middle School Students in the United States
Little is known about how ethnic identity influences bullying. Using a racially diverse sample, we examine how within-race perceptions match experiences. We utilize bivariate probit regression to examine the correlation between actual and perceived victimization and bullying experiences. Results suggest no differences in victimization by ethnicity but perceived victimization differed across groups. Perceived and actual bullying differed across al…
Characteristics of adults involved in alcohol-related intimate partner violence: Results from a nationally representative sample
Results indicate that PTSD, marijuana use disorders, alcohol abuse and dependence are associated with more frequent alcohol use during IPV. In addition, it is important to consider that the patient who presents in emergency settings (e.g., hospitals or urgent care facilities) may not be immediately identifiable as the victim or the perpetrator of partner violence. Therefore, screening and intervention programs should probe to further assess the e…
Mental Health of Prisoners: Identifying Barriers to Mental Health Treatment and Medication Continuity
Objectives. We assessed mental health screening and medication continuity in a nationally representative sample of US prisoners. Methods. We obtained data from 18 185 prisoners interviewed in the 2004 Survey of Inmates in State and Federal Correctional Facilities. We conducted survey logistic regressions with Stata version 13. Results. About 26% of the inmates were diagnosed with a mental health condition at some point during their lifetime, and …
Does Adolescent Bullying Distinguish Between Male Offending Trajectories in Late Middle Age
Implementation Quality and Positive Experiences in After‐School Programs
Data collected during an evaluation of a multi‐site trial of an enhanced after‐school program were used to relate quality of program implementation to student experiences after school. The enhanced after‐school program incorporated a drug use and violence prevention component that was shown to be effective in previous research. Building on Durlak and Dupre’s (Am J Community Psychol 41:327–350, 2008 ) dimensions of implementation, we assessed the …
The impact of after‐school programs on the routine activities of middle‐school students: Results from a randomized, controlled trial
Research Summary Unsupervised after‐school time for adolescents is a concern for parents and policymakers alike. Evidence linking unsupervised adolescent socializing to problem behavior outcomes heightens this concern among criminologists. Routine activities theory suggests that, when youth peer groups congregate away from adult authority, both opportunity for and motivation to engage in deviant acts increase. After‐school programs are a possible…
Youth Development in After-School Leisure Activities
Leisure activities that occur outside of the school hours may facilitate positive youth development.The experiences of youth in three categories of activities (basketball and football, other sports, and nonsports) are examined in this study. Based on prior research, it is hypothesized that students participating in basketball and football will experience more negative outcomes (i.e., problem behaviors, fewer positive peer influences, and lower ac…
