Reducing Officer-Involved Deaths of Civilians in Urban Areas
Recent police-involved deaths of Black civilians have sparked public outcry and demand for police reforms. However, many departmental policies intended to reduce the lethal use-of-force by police officers lack empirical support for their effectiveness. To address this shortcoming, a Bayesian random intercept model is used to forecast the effects of eight departmental policies on the number of police-involved civilian deaths across 66 police depar…
The prevention of online romance scams using a crime script analysis from the victim’s perspective
The escalating menace of online romance scams (ORS), exploiting human vulnerabilities and trust through social engineering, necessitates robust preventive strategies. This study pioneers the development of victim script, utilizing Crime Script Analysis to map the decision-making process of victims and highlight potential intervention points for preventing scams. Drawing from a prior comprehensive data set of verified victim testimonials, the rese…
Examining an Indirect Pathway from the Variety of Stressful Life Events to Violent Victimization through Acquired Psychological Symptoms
The effects of stressful life events on violent victimization have been well established. The existing literature, however, remains relatively limited in examining the indirect association between stressful life events and violent victimization through acquired psychological processes. The current study examines the mediating effects of the co-occurrence of negative psychological symptoms (adverse psychological effects) on the association between…
Illegal Drug Use, Depressive Symptoms, and General Health
The co-occurrence of illegal drug use, symptoms of depression, and a lower perception of general health among adolescents continues to be of substantive interest for researchers and the general public alike. Research on this topic, however, remains relatively stagnant, focusing on narrow developmental periods and each association independently, with limited consideration for the existence of a nexus between the three constructs as individuals age…
The Topography of Robbery
The Influence of Street Network Features on Robberies Around Public Housing Communities
Previous research has consistently identified a crime spillover effect from public housing communities. However, variation in spillover between communities has also been observed. Drawing upon environmental criminology and recent advancements in crime and place research, we examine whether street block betweenness conditions the relationship between street block distance to public housing communities and robbery levels. Negative binomial regressi…
