Identifying Groups of Young Intimate Partner Violence Offenders Using a Longitudinal Perspective
Purpose Research on young intimate partner violence (IPV) offenders remains limited, particularly regarding their patterns of IPV behavior. Rather than treating young IPV offenders as a homogenous group, identifying different offender groups can create a more extensive and nuanced understanding of IPV perpetration in adolescence and young adulthood. This study explores the possibility of distinguishing subgroups of young IPV offenders based on vi…

Intimate Partner Violence: Conflicts of Priority in Police Practice
Lethal violence in intimate relationships is frequently preceded by less severe forms of abuse. In Sweden, the clearance rate for non-aggravated assault remains low, partly due to organisational goal conflicts within the police force. Consequently, the police face challenges in both resolving intimate partner violence (IPV) cases and preventing escalation into more serious violence. This study aims to advance understanding of the investigative pr…
The When, Where, and Who of Unstructured Socializing: Exploring the Intersection of Crime Propensity and Neighborhood Collective Efficacy
From structural time use to situational rule-breaking: Analysing adolescents’ time use and the person-setting interaction
While unsupervised and unstructured socialising with peers is associated with delinquency, less is known about to what extent it fits within adolescents’ daily routine activities; that is, their general, structural time use. Furthermore, research informed by the situational action theory shows that unstructured socialising increases the probability of rule-breaking acts more for individuals with higher crime propensity. Hence, structural time use…
Adolescents ́ Perceptions, Neighbourhood Characteristics and Parental Monitoring -Are they Related, and Do they Interact in the Explanation of Adolescent Offending
Children are nested in families, and families are nested within communities (e.g. neighbourhoods). This implies that the behaviour of both children and their parents is influenced by external and contextual factors. The aim of the present study was to explore the relationship between parental monitoring and neighbourhood disorder and collective efficacy from the perspective of the adolescent and to investigate how perceived monitoring and neighbo…
Adolescents’ Perceptions of Neighbourhood Social Characteristics—Is There a Correlation with Mental Health
Adult onset offending in a Swedish female birth cohort
Neighbourhood Disorder and Worry About Criminal Victimization in the Neighbourhood
This study tested a cross-level integrated model of neighbourhood level disorder and individual level vulnerability, in relation to explaining individual differences in worry about criminal victimization 1 . The aim of the present study is (1) to establish if there is unique neighbourhood level variation in worry about criminal victimization, independent of neighbourhood composition, and(2) to establish the extent to which two proposed mechanisms…
