De dynamiek van (on)geloof
The dynamics of disbelief: A study on experienced victim credibility in intimate partner violence This study explores and explains the experienced disbelief responses faced by victims of intimate partner violence (IPV). Findings were based on a longitudinal study involving 29 victims, and reveal three central mechanisms: (1) a lack of knowledge regarding psychological abuse (such as coercive control) and the cyclical nature of the violence, (2) t…
Suppression of fear-conditioned stimuli
This study demonstrates that even objects generating acute fear through shock conditioning can be attentionally suppressed. Participants searched for shapes while a color singleton distractor was presented. In a preconditioning phase, participants learned to suppress a color singleton distractor frequently appearing in a specific location. Following fear conditioning, suppression remained in place even for those color distractors that were now as…
Measuring and Explaining Situational Fear of Crime
The current study combines an experimental research design, Virtual Reality (VR) and multimodal (survey and physiological) measurements to measure and explain situational fear of crime. 159 participants completed our VR experiment in which we focused on the role of physical and social disorder in engendering situational fear of crime. Drawing on our survey measures, we find significant effects of disorder on a variety of outcome variables: situat…
Kenmerken van ideaal slachtofferschap bij mensenhandel
Characteristics of the ideal human trafficking victim: A media analysis Christie (1986) suggests that victims/survivors conforming to the standards of the ideal victim are more likely to be recognized as victims – provided they have the social capital to claim that victim status. In this study, we examine a total of 101 newspaper articles from eight national Dutch newspapers’ reporting on various types of human trafficking, including labor, sexua…

The effects of forensic mental health reports on decisions about guilt in the Netherlands
In the Netherlands, in approximately 30% of the more serious criminal cases, a pretrial forensic mental health report (FMHR) is requested to inform the court whether a mental disorder was present at the time of alleged crime, whether this disorder affected behavior and decision-making at the time of the offense and how this disorder may affect future (criminal) behavior. While informative for sentencing decisions, information about mental disorde…
Supplemental safety? Exploring experienced safety in relation to other qualities of successful public spaces
Combining insights from the urban design and criminological literature, this paper explores the degree to which conviviality, feeling welcome, and feeling at home are related to peoples’ experiences of safety. A questionnaire was distributed on four squares in the city of Utrecht, the Netherlands. While participants valued the positive qualities of the squares differently, feeling safe was connected to a wider, positive evaluation of the quality …
De publieke waardering van het strafrechtsysteem
An evaluation of the criminal justice system: The role of emotion and orientation dispositions The current research aims to investigate the relation between different dispositions and the evaluation of the criminal justice system. Using a sample of 682 members of the LISS panel, consisting of a representative cross-section of the Dutch population, we looked at the role of the emotion dispositions empathy, anger and worry/anxiety, and the orientat…
Policing nightlife areas
Against a background of the pluralisation of policing in contemporary city spaces, and sustained interests in the assessment of policing in the criminology and criminal justice literatures, the current study seeks to draw a comparative analysis in trust between policing actors, as experienced by nightlife consumers. While studies on trust in the police are numerous, this is much less the case for other actors involved in policing urban (nightlife…
The impact of anger on donations to victims
This article investigates if and when anger appeals (communications that elicit anger in people), can be used to increase donations to charity. In an experimental study the idea was tested that anger leads to higher charitable donations, under the condition that people can restore equity with that donation (i.e., restore the harm done to the victim). Results indeed show that when one’s donation serves a specific restorative function (i.e., compen…
Observers’ reactions to victim impact statements
Previous research has shown that expectancy violations can have both affective and cognitive consequences. In particular, recent victimological research argues that people’s perceptions and judgments of victims are negatively influenced when their expectations of the victim’s emotional behavior are violated. That is, expectancy violation may lead to secondary victimization: victims may be judged to be less credible, suffer higher levels of victim…

Armed forces and society
Welcome to the study of Military Sociology! This course is both an introduction to the study of Sociology and the application of this knowledge to the Armed Forces. In this course, we will examine both the foundations of the social world and the military as a social institution. With the help of sociological concepts, theories, and methods, we will analyze both the internal organization and practices of the armed forces and the relationships betw…
The Officer Corps
In modern societies profession and formal organization are the most important institutional patterns controlling occupational and administrative decisions and actions. They have many characteristics in common. To use Parsons' pattern variables: in both cases we find universal standards, specificity of expertness, and affective neutrality (I). Bureaucratic as well as professional authority is based on special knowledge and skill (Fachwissen) and m…
