Now and Then
Using a mixed methods approach, this study aimed to examine adolescents’ concerns about high school and the challenges they encounter after their transition to high school. Participants were recruited from 31 primary schools in metro Vancouver, British Columbia; most participants identified as female and were from a non-white ethnic background. Data was collected via self-report questionnaires from students in their last year of primary school an…
I Get by With a Little Help From My Friends
Adolescents face many difficulties when transitioning to high school, particularly when it comes to their social circles and maintaining friendships. As these challenges can have long-term consequences, providing support to youth during this period is essential. The YWCA Youth Education Programs (YEP) in Vancouver, BC offer group-based, after-school mentoring programs for 7 th grade students to help them navigate the transition to high school. Su…
The Effectiveness of College Dating Violence Prevention Programs
Due in part to their involvement with social activities on campus, college students experience an increased risk of dating violence. Recent legislation such as the Campus SaVE Act (which requires U.S. colleges to offer training on sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking, and sexual harassment to all incoming students) has contributed to the increase in prevention programming offered across postsecondary campuses, as well as subsequent researc…
Do Meta-Analyses of Intervention/Prevention Programs in the Field of Criminology Meet the Tests of Transparency and Reproducibility
While assessments of transparent reporting practices in meta-analyses are not uncommon in the field of health sciences interventions, they are limited in the social sciences and to our knowledge are non-existent in criminology. Modified PRISMA 2020 checklists were used to assess transparency and reproducibility of reporting for a sample of 33 meta-analyses of intervention/prevention evaluations published in scholarly journals between 2016 and 202…
A Popular Approach, but Do They Work? A Systematic Review of Social Marketing Campaigns to Prevent Sexual Violence on College Campuses
College campuses continue to face high rates of sexual violence and social marketing campaigns have emerged as a common prevention strategy. However, there exists no summative research examining the effectiveness of this approach. A systematic search yielded 15 evaluations of eight unique prevention campaigns, which contributed to 38 individual outcome measures across four outcome categories (i.e., knowledge, attitudes, intentions/efficacy, and b…
Seeing the forest and the trees
Recidivism is a multidimensional construct that is operationalized in a variety of ways. We explored the impact of using aggregated measures of recidivism (i.e. multiple measures combined) versus disaggregated measures (i.e. defined specifically as parole violation, arrest, conviction, incarceration) in meta-analytic analyses of correctional intervention effectiveness. Using a sample of 20 meta-analyses, we compared within-study findings between …
Judging the Book by Its Cover
Substantial literature has examined the effectiveness of intimate partner violence (IPV) interventions, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is noted as the second most common approach used in group interventions for partner violent men. However, as little research has examined how CBT principles are operationalized across program curricula, there is currently insufficient information from which to make recommendations for model CBT approaches …
Are students gender-neutral in their assessment of online teaching staff
The scores from student evaluation forms are often used to construct assessments about the quality and effectiveness of course instruction. These assessments, in turn, can have serious professional impacts on instructors with respect to future course assignments, grants, promotion and hiring decisions. Previous research suggests that scores from student evaluations can be significantly predicted by factors other than teaching quality, in particul…
Preventing intimate partner violence
Although intimate partner violence (IPV) is the leading type of violence experienced by women in many parts of the world, limited research with mixed findings exists on IPV intervention programming for immigrants and visible minority subgroups. Changing Behaviors is an eight-week IPV intervention programme targeting immigrants, refugees and visible minority clientele in British Columbia, Canada. This pilot study provides a preliminary examination…
Pathways to Engagement
Research on intimate partner violence (IPV) interventions has long indicated mixed support for their effectiveness at reducing abusive behaviors. Limited prior research has focused on factors associated with participant engagement in the treatment process. Using a qualitative thematic analysis and a sample of 180 participants who completed an IPV intervention program, the purpose of this study was to identify key factors that facilitate men's res…
Disparate Approaches to Intimate Partner Violence Intervention
There exists ongoing debate regarding appropriate therapeutic approaches, practices, and techniques for interventions targeted toward male perpetrators of intimate partner violence (IPV). The current study describes and presents pilot evaluation data from two IPV intervention programs implemented in British Columbia, Canada which use different approaches to IPV intervention: Help Yourself to Healthy Relationships (HYHR; a feminist/trauma-informed…
Reducing abuse in intimate partner relationships
The differential portrayal of ‘sympathetic’ homicide victims in the media
The over-representation of crime is a prevalent occurrence in the media; so too is the under-representation of certain types of victims of crime. The purpose of the current study is to explore the role that characteristics of homicide victims play in the presentation and prominence of a news story. The study uses a sample of 3,998 newspaper articles on homicide from the Vancouver Sun to assess the relationship between victims who are cumulatively…
