Finding 'Home' and Navigating 'Cultural Precarity: Grey Areas Between Racism and 'Hate Crime' Victimization Among Korean Businesses
The United States has often been lauded for its reputation as a melting pot, embracing diverse cultures and backgrounds. However, beneath this outward display of diversity lies a more intricate reality illuminated by the experiences of immigrants. This study, which involved 19 interviews with first-generation Korean immigrants operating small businesses in the United States, examines the diverse forms of discrimination and hate crime encountered …

An Experimental Assessment of the Public’s Views on Immigration When the Terms Illegal and Undocumented are Juxtaposed
The twin topics of immigrants and immigration have been known to generate strong debates within the American body politic due to these debates’ reverberations in U.S. society. Immigration has remained a contentious policy issue for several decades because of Americans’ divergent opinions about opening the nation’s borders to immigrants. Using YouGov data, we show that employing the terms illegal immigrant and undocumented immigrant produced diffe…
Typology of Cybercrime Victimization in Europe: A Multilevel Latent Class Analysis
The present study reveals hidden patterns of group membership across cybercrime victims in European countries. We used a multilevel latent class analysis of data from the 2019 Eurobarometer, a regionally representative sample of 21,908 individuals from 28 countries, to identify such subgroups and patterns of cybercrime victimization. The findings suggest there are two overarching cybercrime victim profiles in Europe based on individuals’ levels o…

This study uses Lifestyle-Routine Activity Theory and Target Congruence Theory to examine distinct subgroups of Korean youth who have experienced poly-victimization through the estimation of a latent class analysis. This study uses a nationally representative sample—the 2018 National Survey on the Rights of Children and Youth…

Hate-motivated Crime/Incidents Against Asians in the United States of America: A Systematic Review
Although hate-motivated incidents and crimes against Asians are not a new phenomenon, there has been a lack of scholarly attention on the topic. Using a systematic review, we examine, assess, and analyze 23 published peer-reviewed articles that have explored hate-motivated crime/incidents against Asians in the United States of America between 2000 and 2020. We found all studies included in this systematic review examined microaggressions and/or d…
Procedural justice, perceived injustice, legal cynicism and police performance: Understanding the decision to report victimisation to the police in Caribbean countries
Extant literature has identified that victims’ decisions to cooperate with police is often related to how they perceive justice, the legal system, and law enforcement. While this line of inquiry has been extensively conducted in the context of developed world, fewer studies have examined this nexus within the context of developing countries. To fill this research gap, the current study brings into focus seven Caribbean countries surveyed by the U…

Isis’s Covid-19 Messaging on Twitter: An Analysis of Tweet Sentiment and Emotions

Covid-19 Pandemic and Anti-Asian Racism & Violence in the 21st Century
Since the beginning of the 21st century, we have experienced major pandemics and epidemics. However, we believe the COVID-19 pandemic was the first time a certain racial/ethnic group or nationality was blamed for the pandemic/epidemic. Anti-Asian racism and violence worldwide are not new, but they are on the rise during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the crimes against Asians during the pandemic received substantial media attention, there has be…
Storm the Capitol: Linking Offline Political Speech and Online Twitter Extra-Representational Participation on QAnon and the January 6 Insurrection
The transfer of power stemming from the 2020 presidential election occurred during an unprecedented period in United States history. Uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing societal tensions, and a fragile economy increased societal polarization, exacerbated by the outgoing president's offline rhetoric. As a result, online groups such as QAnon engaged in extra political participation beyond the traditional platforms. This research explore…
Mapping Global Cyberterror Networks: An Empirical Study of Al-Qaeda and Isis Cyberterrorism Events
This study explores the internal dynamics and networks of terrorist groups in cyberspace—in particular, Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS). Using a “Global Cyberterrorism Dataset” that features data on cyberterror attacks between 2011 and 2016, this research analyzes these two terrorist groups through the lens of a cyber-conflict theory that integrates conflict theory with Jaishankar’s space transition theory. Through a net…

Narratives of ‘mixed race’ youth in South Korea: Racial Order and in-Betweenness
South Korea has long been regarded as a country with a single ethnicity. Honhyeol, which literally means ‘mixed blood’ in Korean, exemplifies this orientation. In recent years, the number of ‘mixed race’ children in the country has been on the rise due to the increase in international marriages, particularly between Korean men and foreign women. Drawing on the personal narratives of 56 youths (aged between 9 and 17) obtained from three essay cont…

Between Institutional Exclusion and Inclusion: Comparing Old and New Chinese Immigrants in South Korea (制度的排斥與包容:在韓國的舊華僑和新華僑之比較)
This article explores three Chinese immigrant groups in South Korea. South Korean society characterizes itself with a long-held traditional myth of being a homogenous society. Two waves of migrants from China, however, challenged this myth. The earlier wave took place in the late 19 th century. The recent, new, wave of Chinese migration took place in the last three decades and coincidently right before and after the normalization of relations bet…
“Gangnam Style” as Format: When a Localized Korean Song Meets a Global Audience
K-pop refers to the current popular music of South Korea, but it expands its scope to include Korean popular music anywhere else in the world.1 K-pop stars that one can see abroad are either handsome or beautiful young people or excellent singers. Based on this criterion, one would not expect PSY to be a star because he is not particularly handsome. Neither does he have any exceptional vocal ability although he does have his own unique style. Thu…
