SCAN as an investigative tool
Scientific content analysis (SCAN) is a technique that claims to enable the detection of deception in written statements. The underlying assumption is that statements of self-experienced events differ in several ways – such as liveliness and concreteness – from imaginary statements. It is used in many countries as an investigative tool. Nevertheless, little research on the reliability and validity of the SCAN technique is available. In this paper…

Various European countries now have gained experience with stalking laws. Apart from a full trial, these laws sometimes also enable immediate interventions at the first signs of stalking. This article discusses such immediate interventions, and compares them with the situation in which the case has proceeded to the court. The Belgian and the Dutch stalking legislations, and how they are used in legal practice, serve as examples. Recent research h…
Temporal Invariance in Repeated Cross-Sectional ‘Fear of Crime’ Research
‘Fear of crime’ research is gradually outgrowing the tenacious criticism of being caught within a conservative methodological frame, inherent to the era when the research tradition originated. Over time, the idea that ‘fear of crime’ can be measured in a reliable and valid way by using a single indicator has been questioned. However, using more advanced measures confronts the research tradition with ‘new’ issues related to measurement error, and …

The persistent questioning within the ‘fear of crime’ literature of its own conservative measurement, has resulted in a growing tendency towards using scaling techniques, as a far better way of measuring a complex and multidimensional concept like ‘fear of crime’. Choosing more complex measures, however, gives rise to a number of ‘new’ issues related to measurement error, which have remained mostly undiscussed in the ‘fear of crime’ literature. C…
