Exploring the sugar-sweetened beverage tax (SSBT) pass-through rate in the Irish hospitality sector
The effective functioning of the SSBT is premised on persistent price differences between soft drink prices based on sugar content. However, this is barely evident in the hospitality sector in Ireland. A number of recommendations are suggested, including both increasing the SSBT, and increasing it annually in line with inflation
Inequality, grievances, and the variability in homicide rates
Parental Investment by Birth Fathers and Stepfathers
This study investigates the determinants of paternal investment by birth fathers and stepfathers. Inclusive fitness theory predicts higher parental investment in birth children than stepchildren, and this has consistently been found in previous studies. Here we investigate whether paternal investment varies with childhood co-residence duration and differs between stepfathers and divorced birth fathers by comparing the investment of (1) stepfather…

In-Law Relationships in Evolutionary Perspective
In-laws (relatives by marriage) are true kin because the descendants that they have in common make them "vehicles" of one another's inclusive fitness. From this shared interest flows cooperation and mutual valuation: the good side of in-law relationships. But there is also a bad side. Recent theoretical models err when they equate the inclusive fitness value of corresponding pairs of genetic and affinal (marital) relatives-brother and brother-in-…
Estimating the prevalence of children living with a stepparent in New Zealand using linked administrative, census, and survey data
Robust estimates of the incidence of children living with a stepparent are lacking, partly due to a lack of the requisite questions on census and survey questionnaires. Even when these questions are included, resultant estimates are impacted by how respondents choose to portray their relationships. Our first aim was to develop a method for combining census or survey data with administrative data (birth registrations and migrant visa applications)…

Homicide
The human race spends a disproportionate amount of attention, money, and expertise in solving, trying, and reporting homicides, as compared to other social problems. The public avidly consumes accounts of real-life homicide cases, and murder fiction is more popular still. Nevertheless, we have only the most rudimentary scientific understanding of who is likely to kill whom and why. Martin Daly and Margo Wilson apply contemporary evolutionary theo…
Killing the Competition
Criminologists have known for decades that income inequality is the best predictor of the local homicide rate, but why this is so has eluded them. There is a simple, compelling answer: most homicides are the denouements of competitive interactions between men. Relatively speaking, where desired goods are distributed inequitably and competition for those goods is severe, dangerous tactics of competition are appealing and a high homicide rate is ju…
Matrilateral Bias in Human Grandmothering
Children receive more care and resources from their maternal grandmothers than from their paternal grandmothers. This asymmetry is the "matrilateral bias" in grandmaternal investment. Here we synopsize the evolutionary theories that predict such a bias, and review evidence of its cross-cultural generality and magnitude. Evolutionists have long maintained that investing in a daughter's child yields greater fitness returns, on average, than investi…
Inconsistent reports of risk behavior among Brazilian middle school students
This study assessed the consistency of self-reports of risk behavior (overall and within four specific domains: alcohol use, tobacco use, drug use, and sexual activity) in two editions of the Brazilian National School Based Survey of Adolescent Health (PeNSE): 2009 and 2012. The overall proportion of cases with at least one inconsistent response in the two editions was 11.7% (2.7% on the alcohol items, 2.1% for drug use, 4.3% for cigarette use, 3…

Future Discounting by Slum‐Dwelling Youth Versus University Students in Rio de Janeiro
We compared Future Discounting ( FD , preference for smaller, sooner rewards over larger, later ones) by 160 Brazilian youth (16–30 years old; 71 women and 89 men). University students and slum‐dwelling (favela) youth were compared. Participants completed a monetary FD task, a scale of youngsters′ view of their neighborhood, and self‐reported exposure to violence ( EV ). Favela youth discounted the future more than students; favela men more than …

What Adult Worker Model? A Critical Look at Recent Social Policy Reform in Europe from a Gender and Family Perspective
Analyses regularly feature claims that European welfare states are in the process of creating an adult worker model. The theoretical and empirical basis of this argument is examined here by looking first at the conceptual foundations of the adult worker model formulation and then at the extent to which social policy reform in western Europe fits with the argument. It is suggested that the adult worker formulation is under-specified. A framework i…

Who Kills Whom in Spouse Killings? On the Exceptional Sex Ratio of Spousal Homicides in the United States
A hitherto unremarked peculiarity of homicide in the United States is that women kill their husbands almost as often as the reverse. For every 100 US. men who kill their wives, about 75 women kill their husbands; this spousal "sex ratio of killing" (SROK) is more than twice that in other Western nations. Our analyses of spousal homicide samples from the United States, Canada, Australia, and Great Britain indicate that this contrast cannot be attr…

Discriminative Parental Solicitude
The problem addressed in this paper is variability in the quality of parental care. Situational determinants of this variability are considered within the framework of evolutionary theory. Parental behavior in people and animals is discussed from this perspective, with attention to parental attachment, child abuse and neglect, parental sex differences, adoption, and differential treatment of one's children

Homicide and Kinship
Placement stability in kinship and non-kin foster care
Crime and Conflict
Criminological theories are usually framed in sociological terms but always entail psychological assumptions. Psychological accounts, in their turn, entail assumptions about the adaptive "design" of evolved mental mechanisms and processes. Thus, explicit attention to recent theory and research on psychology and evolution can sometimes help criminologists generate productive hypotheses and avoid blind alleys. Homicide research is illustrative. Int…

Social Norms, the Self, and Sociobiology
A. I. Hallowell tried to turn anthropology towards a sociobiology while the former field was still strongly opposed to any consideration of the evolution of human behavior. His work is of more than historical interest, however, because he stressed the evolution of the human ability to internalize social norms and evaluate self and others in terms of them. This ability is the basis of our species's trait of cultural rather than biological adaptati…

Homicide and impunity
OBJECTIVE: To assess a new impunity index and variables that have been found to predict variation in homicide rates in other geographical levels as predictive of state-level homicide rates in Brazil. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional ecological study. Data from the mortality information system relating to the 27 Brazilian states for the years 1996 to 2005 were analyzed. The outcome variables were taken to be homicide victim rates in 2005, for t…

Sexual Rivalry and Sexual Conflict
There is a cross-culturally universal sex difference in homicide perpetration, and motives of male sexual proprietariness and rivalry are implicated in some substantial proportion of all homicides everywhere. With the exception of some forensic psychiatrists, however, criminologists have paid these motives little explicit attention. Human motives and emotions have evolved by selection, and the theoretical framework of evolutionary psychology can …

Shaping the Future of Mental Health Policy and Legislation in Northern Ireland
This paper explores the complex interrelationship between service user and professional social work discourses and provides a critical commentary on their respective contributions to the recent review of mental health policy and legislation in Northern Ireland. The analysis indicates that dominant trends in mental health care, as mediated through service structures and institutional identities, have tended to prioritize the more coercive aspects …

Early Stimulation of Rodents
It is widely accepted that extra stimulation, when administered to infant laboratory rodents, has adaptive consequences. Presumed benefits are: (1) accelerated growth and development, (2) reduced emotional reactivity, (3) improved learning performance, and (4) more adaptive physiological stress responses. Levine has explained these benefits by considering such stimulation to compensate for the impoverished rearing conditions of the laboratory. Ho…

Household composition and the risk of child abuse and neglect
The incidence of child abuse and neglect resulting in validated case reports to the American Humane Association in 1976 was determined in relation to household composition, family income and age of the victim. Abuse and neglect were both maximal in father-only homes and minimal in two-natural-parent homes. Mother-only households exceed those with one natural and one step-parent in neglect incidence, but the reverse is true for abuse incidence. Po…

Evolutionary Social Psychology and Family Homicide
Homicide is an extreme manifestation of interpersonal conflict with minimal reporting bias and can thus be used as a conflict "assay." Evolutionary models of social motives predict that genetic relationship will be associated with mitigation of conflict, and various analyses of homicide data support this prediction. Most "family" homicides are spousal homicides, fueled by male sexual proprietariness. In the case of parent-offspring conflict, an e…

Is Parent‐Offspring Conflict Sex‐Linked? Freudian and Darwinian Models
Freud's Oedipal theory sees parent‐offspring conflict as a within‐gender rivalry, whereas most modern evolutionary models interpret it as a gender‐blind disagreement about resource allocation New analyses of family homicides and a critical review of prior evidence do not support the central Freudian claim of a same‐sex contingency in parent‐offspring antagonism during the Oedipal phase Several errors of fact and interpretation in psychoanalytic t…
