Fear and Masculinity as Motivational Narratives for Knife-Related Crime
Males are routinely identified as both the victims and perpetrators of knife-related crime. Explanations have typically fallen into two categories: fear of further victimization (i.e., need for protection) and masculine gender norms (e.g., a display of “toughness”).

Interpersonal violence in a deprived Scottish urban area with aggregations of physical health risks and psychiatric morbidity

Our aim was to identify shared and unique cognitive facto…
