Linguistic markers in the writings of violent offenders, high-risk individuals, and online users
This study investigates whether warning signs of targeted violence can be identified in written communication by analyzing linguistic markers across three groups: violent offenders, high-risk persons of concern (POCs), and a diverse online population.

Days > 366 Days: The (in)Ability to Earn Good Time Credit During the Time of Covid-19
Federal offenders sentenced to imprisonment for more than a year may earn “good time credit”. Offenders sentenced to 365 days are ineligible for this potential sentence reduction of up to 54 days a year.

Independent variables included offender, legal, and case characteristics. Integra…
A content analysis of initial proof of life hostage videos released by international terrorist groups

Results indicated the majority of the mother-child dyads report similar risk using eight individual items (60.9%-77.1%) and on the composite measures (61.9% and 54.2%). However, concordance was lower than anticipate…

Percentage of Named Offenders on the Registry at the Time of the Assault: Reports From Sexual Assault Survivors
Sex offender registries were designed to protect the public from convicted sex offenders and future sexual violence. This study determines the percentage of clients seen at a sexual assault agency whose attacker was on the registry at the time the attack occurred. According to case files, only 3.7% of the identified offenders could possibly have been identified as a registered sex offender at the time of the attack. While considering the limitati…

The present study examined the potential of photographs to change the image of available social services--namely, an adult day care program. Participants were divided into two groups: (1) a control group that only c…
