Trust in police is fundamental to public safety, institutional legitimacy and social cohesion, yet comparatively little is known about how humanitarian migrants’ trust in police evolves over time following resettlement. Using data from Building a New Life in Australia: The Longitudinal Study of Humanitarian Migrants, this study investigates within-person change in trust in police across four waves of panel data spanning a decade of resettlement i…
Examining Cyber Fraud Victimization Among Chinese Adolescents: An Integrated Test of Criminological Theories
Cyber fraud victimization among adolescents remains mechanistically underexplored despite growing global concern. Using self-reported data from 929 Chinese high school students, this study employs structural equation modeling informed by the general theory of crime, lifestyle–routine activity theory, and online risk-taking. Treating victimization as sequential—fraud targeting followed by financial loss—findings reveal that a deviant online lifest…

A Latent Class Analysis of Online Victim-Offender Overlap among Chinese Youth: Examining Overlap Risks across Online Deviance Types
This study aims to comprehensively test the applicability of lifestyle exposure theory (LET) against other criminogenic and victimogenic factors in predicting the differential risks of online offending-victimization overlap across multiple types of online deviance. Using self-reported survey data from 3,741 Chinese college students, the study performed Latent Class Analysis (LCA) and posterior multinomial logistic regression analysis. The LCA ide…
Toward more effective coordination of drug clinical trials in the Greater Bay Area
This paper explores the lack of coordination on drug clinical trials in the Greater Bay Area, encompassing Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao. Despite growing regional cooperation in the field of biomedicine and biopharmaceuticals, coordinated drug clinical trial governance across the three jurisdictions remains largely disjointed, with separate approval systems, ethics review processes, and deeper obstacles such as compliance burdens and talent-rel…
Online Sexual Exploitation Among Adolescents in Tanzania: Exploring the Stigmas of Victimization and Help‐Seeking
Drawing upon a sample of adolescents from Tanzania ( N = 955), the current study investigates the complex interplay of factors influencing stigmas associated with online sexual exploitation (OSE) victimization and help‐seeking behaviours. Employing path analysis, the study revealed that although the stigmas of OSE victimization and the stigmas of OSE help‐seeking are influenced by shared factors such as gender and self‐efficacy, the sizes and dir…

This study analyzes two waves of survey data from a prospective cohort study of secondary school students in Midwestern United States and shows that masculinity ideology contributes in varying degrees to dating violence perpetration across different gender and sexual orientation groups. Conformity to masculinity ideology not only elevates physical violence among bisexual male and lesbian youths, but also does it to a greater extent than its effec…

Policing pandemic in China: Investigating the roles of organizational adjustment, procedural justice, and police trustworthiness on public compliance
In December 2019, the SARS-CoV-2 virus was first detected in Wuhan, China.

This study examines the perceptions of pandemic rules enforcement during the first COVID-19 lockdown in 2020 among 600 Chinese police officers. The analyses reveal that police departments’ prompt and adequate adjustment to the pan…
Filial piety and public attitudes towards same-sex sexual behaviour in China—evidence from the Chinese general social survey
Using data from the 2017 Chinese General Social Survey, this study is one of the first to directly compare the effect of reciprocal versus authoritarian filial piety on the Chinese public attitudes towards same-sex sexual behaviour using a nationally representative sample.

Tolerance for domestic violence: Do legislation and organizational support affect police view on family violence
Police attitudes toward domestic violence are essential occupational outlooks that can potentially shape police response to such violence. Studies on Chinese officers’ attitudes toward domestic violence are scarce even after the enactment of the Counter Domestic Violence Law (the DV Law) in China in 2016. Drawing upon survey data collected from 1,139 police officers from three provinces (Hubei, Hunan, and Jiangsu) in China, this study examined th…
The Chinese conception of rights: A latent class analysis of Chinese college students
Elizabeth Perry and other theorists argued that a strong centralized government, as well as limited individual freedoms in China, had historically been legitimated by the state’s effective provision of economic security and prosperity to the people and that this moral economy still informed the Chinese conception of rights. This study empirically examined Perry’s notion of the Chinese conception of rights by analyzing survey data collected from o…

National Culture on the Cross‐National Variation of Homicide: An Empirical Application of the Inglehart–Welzel Cultural Map
Although there has been a growing literature on the effects of culture on the cross‐national variation of homicide, this literature remains limited in the operationalization of national culture as well as in the modeling of the cultural effects. Adopting a multidimensional measure of national culture developed in the World Values Survey, this study examines the effects of various aspects of national culture, as well as their interaction, on the c…
The medicalization and demedicalization of kink: Shifting contexts of sexual politics
BDSM (also known as kink) has been stigmatized through medicalization since the late 19th century. However, the recent publication of the DSM-5 has significantly changed the definition of Paraphilia, which used to be the catch-all diagnostic category for atypical sexual behaviors. In this study, I examined multiple sources of qualitative data to tap into the ever-changing social contexts and power dynamics of the medicalization and demedicalizati…
