New Frontiers in Comparative Victimology: Introduction to the Special Issue of the International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology
This special issue of the International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology intends to expand the examination of victimology and victim issues. The social problem of violence is universal, and there is much to learn from policies and programs that are found to be effective across the globe. The four issues in this special issue span global problems such as cybercrime, interpersonal violence, violent socialization, and the vict…
Rethinking self-control and crime: Are all forms of impulsivity criminogenic
Traditionally, criminological research on impulsivity and crime assumes impulsivity is a uniform construct that is positively related to deviant behavior. However, psychological research on impulsivity indicates that the construct may have multiple forms, which vary in their relationship to antisocial behavior. One possibility that few studies have examined is whether some forms of impulsivity are unrelated, or negatively related, to antisocial b…
Physical and sexual assault, and negative perceptions of health: Does age of onset matter
Examining the Effects of Life Expectancy and Expectations for Future Health on Adolescent Suicidal Behavior
Research has linked various constructs with a shared focus on the future to suicidal behavior. This study examined: (1) whether life expectancy and expectations for future health were associated with reduced odds of suicidal ideation and attempted suicide, and (2) whether the reducing effect of having high levels of future expectations on suicidal ideation was stronger among individuals with lower levels of depression. Study participants were you…
Great Debates in Criminology
This book explores the role of theory and research in criminology. Adopting a unique and refreshing approach to criminological theory, it focuses on the great debates in criminology from its inception as a field to the present day. It explores the debates that have motivated criminological thought, that have represented turning points in theoretical and empirical trajectories, that have offered mini-paradigm shifts, and that have moved the field …
Examining the Link Between the Human Microbiome and Antisocial Behavior: Why Criminologists Should Care About Biochemistry, Too
Objective: The expansion of technology enables closer examination of human biological functioning which has exponentially increased knowledge about how the human organism interacts with surrounding environs to produce certain behaviors. The contemporary biosocial model pushes crime theorists and researchers alike to consider the many biological factors that may be implicated in violent behavior and how those factors are ameliorated or exacerbated…
Paradigm shift or normal science? The future of (biosocial) criminology
For much of the history of criminology, tension has existed between sociologically oriented and biologically oriented perspectives. In recent years, a new, more nuanced approach has emerged which attempts to take both perspectives seriously and integrate them into a biosocial criminology. Yet, it remains, in large part, a fringe field of study. We argue that this is due, primarily, to critical as well as supportive scholars’ views that the ‘bioso…
Does the strength of the victim-offender overlap depend on the relationship between the victim and perpetrator
The Oxford Handbook of the History of Crime and Criminal Justice
Risk Factors for and Behavioral Consequences of Direct Versus Indirect Exposure to Violence
Research suggests that direct exposure (personal victimization) and indirect exposure (witnessing or hearing about the victimization of a family member, friend, or neighbor) to violence are correlated. However, questions remain about the co-occurrence of these phenomena within individuals. We used data on 1915 youths (with an average age of 12 years at baseline) from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods to examine this issue.…

The power of (Mis)perception: Rethinking suicide contagion in youth friendship networks
The Importance of Parenting in the Development of Self-Control in Boys and Girls: Results from a Multinational Study of Youth
On the general relationship between victimization and offending: Examining cultural contingencies
Cheating Around the World: A Cross-national Analysis of Principal Reported Cheating
An increasing problem of great concern for academic institutions around the world is the pervasiveness of academic cheating among students. However, there is a dearth of prior research on cheating in cross-national contexts. The present study examines the relationships between structural measures of strain and principals' reports of problematic cheating in schools across 35 nations, derived from the 2007 Trends in International Math and Science S…
One Scale Fits All? Assessing Racial Differences in the Measurement of Attitudes Toward the Police
Research consistently shows that minorities have less confidence in the police and perceive less procedural justice during encounters than Whites. This work generally concludes that the differences in perceptions by race are due to actual differences in attitudes, then proceeds to explore the origins of these differences. However, scholarly work has not yet explored the possibility that this finding is related to how members of different racial g…
Do Boys Fight and Girls Cut? A General Strain Theory Approach to Gender and Deviance
Research finds that males are more likely to engage in delinquency than females. General strain theory (GST) suggests that males and females experience different emotions in response to strain leading to different deviant outcomes. Tests of GST to account for this issue are mixed, perhaps due to the reliance on measures that fail to take into account the gendered nature of responses to strain. The current study examines the mediation of strain by…
Measuring Up: Assessing the Measurement Properties of Two Self-Control Scales
Gottfredson and Hirschi's self-control theory is one of the most empirically tested explanations of criminal behavior. Yet questions remain about the operationalization of self-control. Researchers have examined the relationship between self-control and crime predominantly with the Grasmick et al. (1993 Grasmick , Harold G. , Charles R. Tittle , Robert Bursik , and Bruce Arneklev . 1993 . "Testing the Core Empirical Implications of Gottfredson an…
