Resilience Measuring Tools for Risk Assessment & Disaster Preparedness in India: The Current State
In today's increasingly complex and dynamic environment, the ability to manage environmental risks and seize opportunities for enhanced well-being is paramount for individuals, organizations, and governments. However, translating this concept into practice has proven to be a formidable challenge, primarily due to the absence of robust tools for the comprehensive assessment of resilience and its integration into development initiatives
Crime groups as criminal entrepreneurs - stealing heritage and cultural property: A case study

In addition, there are financial opportunities such as selling the objects, using them as currency and collateral in illicit markets, and through rewards and ransoms. While these factors remain, crime groups operating as criminal entrepreneurs will continue to be att…

Far-right politicians in Brazil are attacking and censoring cultural heritage and enacting policies that go far beyond cultural heritage. These politicians are also dismantling the structural frameworks that protect, secure, encourage and enable cultural heritage at a time when it is experiencing serious and systematic crime threats. This is despite legal obligations in the Brazilian Constitution to protect it. In addition, these politicians are …

The art of risk management: The crucial role of the global art insurance industry in enabling risk and security
This article investigates the under-researched sphere of insurance. It uses empirical research data to focus on one case study, the London art world, to analyse how the global art insurance industry ‘does’ security and how it enables risk and security to be embraced. Examining how the industry plays a crucial role in the security of art and within the art world itself, the article argues that the global art insurance industry’s role is largely be…

Head-mounted cameras and stimulated recall in qualitative sport research
There are a number of innovative procedures available for use in qualitative research, including observation, note-taking and verbal protocol techniques. This paper highlights the potential usefulness of stimulated recall as an innovative technique for use in qualitative research in sport and possibly exercise. Specifically, it focuses on video footage obtained from head-mounted cameras for use in stimulated recall during post-event interviews. E…
Analysis of recent incidents of on‐field violence in sport: Legal decisions and additional considerations from psychology
This article focuses on two recent incidents of serious on‐field violence in sports and the legal consequences for those involved. The two incidents occurred in Dutch football (soccer) and became infamous owing to the nature of the violent incidents and widespread media coverage. The legal outcomes of these two incidents are described, and some of the difficulties that legal authorities face in considering assaults on the sports field are discuss…

Perceived Risk of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy and Dietary Behavior
The German BSE crisis in early 2001 can be considered as a natural experiment with strong behavioral consequences. The present study investigated psychological and other factors associated with reduced meat consumption compared to the first months of the previous year. As expected, all types of meat, with the exception of poultry and game, were eaten less often. The effect was strongest in beef, where almost half of the sample reported reduced me…
Aggression, violence, and the death of a Dutch soccer hooligan: A reversal theory explanation
In March 1997, an aggressive and violent confrontation took place between more than 3000 rival soccer hooligans in the small town of Beverwijk in the Netherlands. In the prearranged and well‐organized confrontation, a 35 year‐old man was beaten and stabbed to death and others were seriously wounded. In this paper, the details of what happened at Beverwijk and the response of the Dutch authorities, including the subsequent arrest and conviction of…
Emotion and Stress in Serious and Hedonistic Leisure Sport Activities
Forty-four Japanese women recreational tennis players aged 28 to 58 years old acted as the main sample of volunteer participants in this reversal theory-based study of changes in emotion and stress induced by a single session of leisure activity. Based on their primary reason for playing tennis (e.g., health, exercise, weight control, versus fun, challenge), participants were divided into “serious” (telic) and “hedonistic” (paratelic) leisure gro…
