Football in its Place
In the late 1980s football was in a state of crisis. Falling attendances and a genuine unease among potential spectators about going to live football matches suggested that, without radical changes, the game would soon become a minority spectator sport. Originally published in 1989, reissued now with a new preface, Football in its Place presented a new approach to the problem that concentrates on the spectators’ experience of football and on the …

The Role of Third Place concerning Loneliness in the Context of Ageing in Place
There is an increasing recognition of the impact of built environment in the neighbourhood on healthy ageing, especially in the context of ageing in place. This study examines perceptions of third place and its potential value for mitigating loneliness in older adults. Thirty participants aged 65–89, living in ordinary housing across three neighbourhoods in the city of Stockholm, Sweden, conducted the interview‐based sorting procedures, namely, M…
Development of a measure of kindness
In the spirit of the growing developments in positive psychology, there is an increasing interest in how kind people are to each other. Yet, this area lacks any strong psychometric instrument. An initial exploratory study demonstrated that a 40-item questionnaire, completed by 165 people, revealed distinct aspects of kindness when subjected to multivariate analysis. A subsequent study is reported, using the structure of the exploratory results to…
Developing a mixed-methods digital Multiple Sorting Task procedure using Zoom and Miro
In the Multiple Sorting Task (MST) participants sort entities into their self-defined categories. The descriptions they provide of their categories provide qualitative data. Multi-dimensional scaling of sorting generates quantitative results. Relating the qualitative descriptions to the quantitative output creates integrated mixed methods. As part of the study of conceptions of public space an online MST was developed using Zoom and Miro, support…
Offense Narrative Roles of Turkish Offenders
The study of offense narratives emphasizes the agency of the offender which brings psychology closer to law. As an effort to create a standardized and quantitative method to evaluate offender narratives, Youngs and Canter developed the Narrative Roles Questionnaire (NRQ) based on the content analyses of the crime narratives of offenders in UK prisons. The current study aims to investigate the applicability of offense narrative roles framework amo…
The Social Psychology of Crime
In recognition of the fact that criminal activities and the processes that sustain them are embedded in the transactions between individuals this volume examines the social and organisational aspects of crime. Such an examination is of particular benefit to police investigations. It strengthens the abilities of law enforcement agencies to incapacitate criminal networks and to weaken the social interactions between criminals. Understanding the nat…
The Social Psychology of Crime
An understanding of the nature and structure of seven ‘hard-core’ hooligan groups was gained using data from criminal records, and police intelligence reports of actual sightings between individuals in each group. Smallest Space Analysis (SSA), was explored as an appropriate methodology for examining the structure of relationships in each group. Results of these SSAs provided preliminary support for the hypothesis that there is a hierarchical str…
Conceptualizing Public Space Using a Multiple Sorting Task–Exploring the Links between Loneliness and Public Space
This study tests the viability of multiple sorting tasks (MST) as a method to explore perceptions of public space and its potential for people that are vulnerable to loneliness. The procedure integrates qualitative and quantitative aspects and obviates the challenge of people articulating how they interact with their surroundings, especially being aware of what features of their environment are influencing them. Two samples, each with six partici…
Profiling in Policy and Practice
'Profilers' and 'Profiling' are now widely discussed, often with almost mythical respect. This is the first volume to cut through the confusions and misunderstandings surrounding this topic to report on detailed, original, scientific research that examines the variations in criminal behaviour from which any 'profile' must be derived. The studies included examine both early approaches to the field and the future problems and potential for an Inves…

Crime and society
Much of society’s resources are devoted to dealing with, or preparing for the possibility of, crime. The dominance of concerns about crime also hints at the broader implications that offending has for many different facets of society. They suggest that rather than being an outlawed subset of social activity crime is an integrated aspect of societal processes. As an introduction to this themed issue of Contemporary Social Science, a brief review i…
The Laaf Procedure for Exploring Offenders' Narratives
The Life A s A Film ( LAAF ) procedure is described. This was developed for use with offenders, building on M c A dams's (1993) explorations of autobiographical accounts from effective individuals. The advantages of the LAAF procedure for a prison population are discussed, together with the content dictionary used for analysing LAAF responses. The LAAF reveals implicit and explicit aspects of self‐concepts and relationships to others, as well as …
Converting Evidence Into Data
The newly emerging area of Investigative Psychology provides a behavioural science basis for crime detection by examining investigative processes and criminal behaviour. It draws upon a range of material collected by law enforcement agencies that is not widely utilized in the social sciences. This may be regarded as a form of non-reactive, unobtrusive data that has many of the advantages originally promoted by Webb, Campbell, Schwartz and Sechres…

Challenging neuroscience and evolutionary explanations of social and psychological processes
In order to provide the context for this special issue of Contemporary Social Science, a brief review of the biological and evolutionary explanations of psychological and socio-cultural phenomena is presented. This distinguishes five separate aspects of what may be characterised as ‘biologising’ the social sciences: Darwinian theories, neuroscience explanations, genetic causation, pharmacological and hormonal causes, and the less fundamentalist u…
Forensic Psychology
Forensic Psychology: A Very Short Introduction discusses the aspects of psychology that are relevant to the legal and criminal process. It includes explanations of criminal behaviour and criminality, including the role of mental disorder in crime, and discusses how forensic psychology contributes to helping investigate the crime and catching the perpetrators. It also explains how psychologists provide guidance to those involved in civil and crimi…

Prioritizing Burglars
The effectiveness, in prioritizing suspects, of six geographical profiling methods are compared by determining the rank to which each of 92 prolific burglars was assigned, from the total of 400 known burglars, who were selected from a large metropolitan database because they resided in the borough in which the crimes occurred. Using mean and median ranked prioritization of actual offenders, as well as the percentages that appeared in the top 5% o…
The Organized/Disorganized Typology of Serial Murder
Despite weaknesses in the organized/disorganized classification of serial killers, it is drawn on for "offender profiles," theories of offending, and in murder trials. This dichotomy was therefore tested by the multidimensional scaling of the co-occurrence of 39 aspects of serial killings derived 100 murders committed by 100 U.S. serial killers. Results revealed no distinct subsets of offense characteristics reflecting the dichotomy. They showed …
A Study of two Marital Enrichment Programs and Couples’ Quality of Life
The need for empirical research that contributes to the prevention and arrest of marital distress is increasing. Factors identified through research as being influential in the stability of marriage include intimacy, positive behaviors, social support, good communication, and conflict management. Although a variety of marital enrichment programs that address these same factors do exist, this current study addresses two particular marital enrichme…

Sexual Offenses Against Children as the Abusive Exploitation of Conventional Adult-Child Relationships
A study was conducted to determine whether the relationship processes underlying offender-child interactions in child sexual abuse could be considered as abusive and manipulative variants of more conventional relationship processes that exist between adults and children. To explore this possibility, it was proposed that a circular order of behaviors (i.e., a circumplex) would exist in offender-child interactions that relates to circular models fo…
Intentionality and fatality during the King's Cross underground fire
Research has shown that the behaviour of people in fires and other emergencies is characterized by internally rational, socially and cognitively structured action. It has not been possible to date to discover whether the victims of fires display similar patterns of behaviour to the survivors, or act in a fundamentally different way. Following the public inquiry into the 1987 King's Cross underground fire in London, data were made available which …

The Multivariate Structure Of Design Evaluation
It is argued that facet theory provides an appropriate framework for examining the structure of the psychological evaluation of building designs. By means of a mapping sentence, a definitional system is provided for the universe of evaluations by nurses of the design and layout of the wards on which they work. A rationale is provided both for the facets and their elements within the mapping sentence, and for their anticipated role within an empir…
A facet structure for nurses' evaluations of ward designs
In order to provide an understanding of the contribution made by the design of hospital wards to the well‐being of nurses at work a model is proposed for the structure of ward evaluations. Use is made of facet theory to generate the model. A questionnaire is developed on the basis of the model by combining elements of the facets to create the questions. The model also predicts a pattern of correlations between questionnaire items on the basis of …

Investigation into the claim of weighted Cusum in authorship attribution studies
Although there has been detailed criticism of the Cusum technique for authorship attribution the claims of its proponents are so attractive to the legal profession that any suggestion that the technique can be ‘improved’ requires careful consideration. One such suggestion is that the arbitrary nature of the judgements made of Cusum charts can be removed by ‘weighting’ the calculations of the Cusum values. To test the claims of weighted Cusums thr…
