  • Hate crime offending among European youth

    Open Access•Markus Kaakinen, Janne Kivivuori et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Criminology•2026

    Crime motivated by hate toward social groups and identities is a major social problem. Due to the rise of interethnic, ideological, and religious tensions, the criminal policy relevance of this crime has increased. One compelling question for hate crime researchers has been whether hate crime is different from general crime. In this study, we draw on the most recent available comparative European dataset, the third sweep of the International Self…

  • Substance use patterns and homicide in Finland, 2002–2022

    Open Access•Maiju Tanskanen, Karoliina Karjalainen et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Drug…•2026

    Due to the increase in the use of illicit drugs in western Europe, key policy stakeholders and researchers have increasingly focused on the drugs-violence nexus. However, previous research on changing substance use patterns among homicide offenders, particularly studies that consider alcohol and drugs simultaneously, remains limited. Comparative analyses of youth- versus adult-perpetrated homicides from a substance use perspective are particularl…

  • Cybercrime Correlates Among Adolescents in Europe and South America

    Open Access•Janne Vepsäläinen, Markus Kaakinen et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Contemporary Criminal…•2025

    Cybercrime is increasingly recognized as a global issue, with adolescents being a key group as crime trends shift online. However, relatively little is known about the prevalence of cybercrime, its specific risk factors, and how they differ across high and low-middle-income countries. This highlights the need for more cross-national comparative studies on the cybercriminal behavior of young people. This study examines the prevalence of four types…

  • Crime and Civilization

    Open Access•Janne Kivivuori•BOOK•Crime and Civilization•2024

    Crime and Civilization presents a history of the rise of criminology in the first part of the nineteenth century. The story begins in 1827, in Paris, when the first modern national crime statistic was published. The Compte général de l’administration de la justice criminelle en France was a paradigmatic game changer, sending shock waves across European intellectual circles interested in the analysis of crime. The new concept of national crime sta…

  • The future of interpersonal violence research

    Open Access•Jolien van Breen, Janne Kivivuori et al.•ARTICLE•Humanities and Social Sciences…•2024

    Interpersonal violence is a high-priority issue for the general public, policymakers, and academics. It is commonly defined as the use of physical force - threatened or actual - with the intent to cause harm or injury (Dahlberg & Krug, 2002 ), and can be contrasted with collective or political forms of violence. Its negative consequences range from immediate effects, such as personal harm and injury, to longer-term consequences for offenders, vic…

  • Homicide drop in seven European countries

    Open Access•Karoliina Suonpää, Janne Kivivuori et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Criminology•2024

    This study examines homicide trends in seven European countries – Denmark, Estonia, Finland, the Netherlands, Scotland, Sweden and Switzerland – all of which manifested a substantial drop in homicide mortality between 1990 and 2016. By using data from the European Homicide Monitor, a coding scheme created to enable cross-country comparisons, combined with the national cause-of-death statistics, we explore generality versus specificity of the homi…

  • European Homicide Monitor

    Open Access•Janne Kivivuori, Marieke Liem et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Contemporary Criminal…•2024

    Homicide as the most serious form of lethal violence has always represented an important research focus in criminology. Much of the existing research, however, is based on aggregated homicide data and is limited to macrolevel analyses. The European Homicide Monitor (EHM) is an initiative promoting standardized international data collection, with the aim of collecting disaggregated and detailed data on homicide. Originally developed by researchers…

  • Homicide in Global Extremes

    Open Access•Janne Kivivuori, Shanta Balgobind Singh et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Contemporary Criminal…•2024

    Homicide remains a major cause of death globally. The global risk differentials are a persistent public health challenge. Africa’s homicide rate of 13 victims per 100,000 people is markedly higher than the European average (2.2 per 100,000 people). To understand the causes of such large differences, homicide research needs to move from country-level rates to disaggregated analyses in which homicide is broken down by victim, offender, and incident…

  • Preventing Religion-Based Hate Crime Victimization Among Youth

    Open Access•Sophie Litvak, Janne Kivivuori et al.•ARTICLE•Trauma Violence & Abuse•2024

    Hate crime victimization targeting the victim’s religious identity poses a serious problem for individuals, communities, and societies. This systematic review describes countermeasures to such victimization, aiming for broad descriptive inclusion by canvassing personal adaptations, collective programs, and institutional-governmental policies. Targeting peer-reviewed articles published between 2002 and 2022, we found 44 articles describing measure…

  • Towards a Religion–Victimization Module for the International Self-Report Delinquency Study (ISRD) Context

    Open Access•Sophie Litvak, Janne Kivivuori et al.•ARTICLE•Kriminologijos studijos•2023

    The concept of postsecular society highlights the increasing relevance of religion in social, cultural, and political affairs. Given this trend, criminology should pay increasing attention to how religion is linked to victimization and offending. Since the religion–crime studies have traditionally focused on offending, the research lacunae are biggest in the study of victimization. The inclusion of religion is particularly relevant in internation…

  • Firearm Homicides in Europe

    Open Access•Katharina Krüsselmann, Pauline Aarten et al.•ARTICLE•Global Crime•2023•Citada por: 2•Referências: 4

    Detailed, comparative research on firearm violence in Europe is rare. Using data from the European Homicide Monitor, this paper presents the prevalence and characteristics of firearm homicides in Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland between 2001 and 2016. Furthermore, we compare firearm to non-firearm homicides to assess the degree of uniqueness of firearms as modus operandi. We find that the firearm homicide rate varies acro…

  • Post-release outcomes of lethal and non-lethal offenders

    Open Access•Karoliina Suonpää, Mikko Aaltonen et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Criminal Justice•2023•Referências: 42

    This study examines post-release outcomes of former prisoners convicted of severe violence. We use random intercept models to compare recidivism and participation in employment or education among Finnish offenders convicted of homicide (n = 509), attempted homicide (n = 800), or aggravated assault (n = 1714). A matching algorithm is used to adjust for observed preexisting differences among the three offender groups. Within 3 years post-release, 5…

  • Nordic Homicide in Deep Time

    Open Access•Janne Kivivuori, Mona Rautelin et al.•BOOK•Nordic Homicide in Deep Time•2022•Citada por: 1•Referências: 8

    Nordic Homicide in Deep Time draws a unique and detailed picture of developments in human interpersonal violence and presents new findings on rates, patterns, and long-term changes in lethal violence in the Nordics. Conducted by an interdisciplinary team of criminologists and historians, the book analyses homicide and lethal violence in northern Europe in two eras - the 17th century and early 21st century. Similar and continuous societal structur…

  • Crime News Consumption and Fear of Violence

    Open Access•Matti Näsi, Maiju Tanskanen et al.•ARTICLE•Crime & Delinquency•2021

    In this article, we examine the correlates of fear of violence in the cross-media landscape. The study draws on the Finnish National Crime Victim Survey ( n = 6,141, respondents aged 15–74 years). First, we examine from what information and media sources respondents receive information on violent crime. We then examine how consumption of different types of media and information sources on violent crime associates with the contemporary experience …

  • Criminal history and social disadvantage as predictors of the severity of violent offending

    Karoliina Suonpää, Janne Kivivuori et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2018•Citada por: 2•Referências: 44

    Lethal violence is often seen as the tip of the iceberg and homicide perpetrators are seen as manifesting the most extreme number of various risk factors. This article explores whether that is the case. Using a unique data set combining data from several administrative registers with a nationally representative sample of different types of police-reported violence committed during 2010–2011 (N = 26,303 offenders) in Finland, we compare the offend…

  • Does the Gender Gap in Delinquency Vary by Level of Patriarchy? A Cross‐national Comparative Analysis

    Open Access•J Savolainen, SAMANTHA APPLIN et al.•ARTICLE•Criminology•2017•Citada por: 10•Referências: 59

    We examined cross‐national variation in the gender differential in offending, which is often referred to as the gender gap in crime. Analyses were directed toward two empirical questions: 1) Is the gender gap narrower in less patriarchal sociocultural settings, and if so, 2) is this outcome a result of higher levels of offending on the part of girls, lower levels of offending on the part of boys, or some combination thereof? To address these ques…

  • Veli Verkko as an Early Criminologist

    Janne Kivivuori•ARTICLE•Scandinavian Journal of History•2016•Citada por: 1•Referências: 11

    Today, the Finnish criminologist and sociologist Veli Verkko (1893–1955) is remembered and cited because of ‘Verkko’s laws’, which predict cross-sectional and temporal regularities between homicide rates and patterns. This article describes Verkko’s criminological thought more broadly and situates him in the historical divide between bio-criminology and the rise of sociological environmentalism. In this paradigmatic conflict, Verkko took an unlik…

  • Debt Problems and Crime

    Open Access•Mikko Aaltonen, Atte Oksanen et al.•ARTICLE•Criminology•2016•Citada por: 9•Referências: 43

    The few existing studies on the association between debt problems and crime have suggested that the two are correlated, but the causal nature and direction of this association has been unclear. By using longitudinal register data ( N = 20,696) from Finland on young adults’ debt default and crime, we examine the potentially reciprocal association between debt problems and crime with both cross‐sectional and longitudinal models. Debt problems and c…

    Revenge is a well-recognised motive for crime and violence. In sociological research, this topic has been pursued primarily in ethnographic studies of street offenders or gang conflicts. Psychologists have studied revenge behaviour experimentally in laboratory settings and revenge ideation with community samples. Despite these contributions, we know very little about the prevalence and correlates of revenge-motivated offending in representative m…

    There is a distinct lack of knowledge about how the rise of private security relates to young people in adversarial encounters. Prior studies suggest that the policing of young people by police is a common occurrence and social biases exist. However, policing of young people by private security guards has gained much less attention.

    Sociological theorists have suggested, at least in Western affluent societies, a societal change toward increasing sensitivity to violence. Possible causes include increasing affluence, security, medical victories over infectious diseases, increasing life expectancy, and feminization of society. A trend toward increasing sensitivity could have implications for understanding crime trends. If some conflicts are newly perceived as violence, this can…

    Despite decades of research on the association between socio-economic status (SES) and crime, its strength and nature remain contested. Using a unique dataset combining data from several administrative registers with a nationally representative sample of 28,485 19 to 30-year-old Finnish citizens, we examine SES differences in violent offences, property offences and driving while intoxicated. We use multiple measures of SES in order to see what it…

  • Crime victimization, exposure to crime news and social trust among adolescents

    Open Access•Venla Salmi, Mirka Smolej et al.•ARTICLE•Young•2007•Citada por: 13•Referências: 13

    Interpersonal trust has recently emerged at the centre of research in social science as an important component of social capital. Earlier, it has been theorized that exposure to media cultivates a suspicious and distrusting ‘mean–world’ outlook on life (cultivation theory). In this article, we aim to bind these separate but obviously interconnected theoretical discussions in a combined empirical analysis, by exploring several potential correlates…

    Data from the 1986 N orthern F inland B irth C ohort S tudy ( n = 4,645) were used to examine the influence of mid‐adolescent (age 15) school outcomes on late‐adolescent (ages 17–19) risk of criminal conviction. Consistent with social‐developmental theories of offending, we found that poor academic performance and reduced school attachment increase the risk of criminal conviction independently of pre‐existing differences in antisocial propensity …

From the mid-seventeenth century to the mid-eighteenth, concurring with the establishing of the modern centralized state, homicide rates dropped significantly. In the long term, the local variation in Swedish homicide rates decreased, probably because of the rise of the centralized state; however, the case was different in Finland, partly because of a less effici…

  • Veli Verkko as an Early Criminologist

    Janne Kivivuori•ARTICLE•Scandinavian Journal of History•2016•Citada por: 1•Referências: 11

    Today, the Finnish criminologist and sociologist Veli Verkko (1893–1955) is remembered and cited because of ‘Verkko’s laws’, which predict cross-sectional and temporal regularities between homicide rates and patterns. This article describes Verkko’s criminological thought more broadly and situates him in the historical divide between bio-criminology and the rise of sociological environmentalism. In this paradigmatic conflict, Verkko took an unlik…

  • Debt Problems and Crime

    Open Access•Mikko Aaltonen, Atte Oksanen et al.•ARTICLE•Criminology•2016•Citada por: 9•Referências: 43

    The few existing studies on the association between debt problems and crime have suggested that the two are correlated, but the causal nature and direction of this association has been unclear. By using longitudinal register data ( N = 20,696) from Finland on young adults’ debt default and crime, we examine the potentially reciprocal association between debt problems and crime with both cross‐sectional and longitudinal models. Debt problems and c…

  • The revenge motive in delinquency

    Open Access•Janne Kivivuori, J Savolainen et al.•ARTICLE•Acta Sociologica•2016•Citada por: 9•Referências: 49

    Revenge is a well-recognised motive for crime and violence. In sociological research, this topic has been pursued primarily in ethnographic studies of street offenders or gang conflicts. Psychologists have studied revenge behaviour experimentally in laboratory settings and revenge ideation with community samples. Despite these contributions, we know very little about the prevalence and correlates of revenge-motivated offending in representative m…

  • Does the Gender Gap in Delinquency Vary by Level of Patriarchy? A Cross‐national Comparative Analysis

    Open Access•J Savolainen, SAMANTHA APPLIN et al.•ARTICLE•Criminology•2017•Citada por: 10•Referências: 59

    We examined cross‐national variation in the gender differential in offending, which is often referred to as the gender gap in crime. Analyses were directed toward two empirical questions: 1) Is the gender gap narrower in less patriarchal sociocultural settings, and if so, 2) is this outcome a result of higher levels of offending on the part of girls, lower levels of offending on the part of boys, or some combination thereof? To address these ques…

  • Criminal history and social disadvantage as predictors of the severity of violent offending

    Karoliina Suonpää, Janne Kivivuori et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2018•Citada por: 2•Referências: 44

    Lethal violence is often seen as the tip of the iceberg and homicide perpetrators are seen as manifesting the most extreme number of various risk factors. This article explores whether that is the case. Using a unique data set combining data from several administrative registers with a nationally representative sample of different types of police-reported violence committed during 2010–2011 (N = 26,303 offenders) in Finland, we compare the offend…

  • Crime News Consumption and Fear of Violence

    Open Access•Matti Näsi, Maiju Tanskanen et al.•ARTICLE•Crime & Delinquency•2021

    In this article, we examine the correlates of fear of violence in the cross-media landscape. The study draws on the Finnish National Crime Victim Survey ( n = 6,141, respondents aged 15–74 years). First, we examine from what information and media sources respondents receive information on violent crime. We then examine how consumption of different types of media and information sources on violent crime associates with the contemporary experience …

  • Nordic Homicide in Deep Time

    Open Access•Janne Kivivuori, Mona Rautelin et al.•BOOK•Nordic Homicide in Deep Time•2022•Citada por: 1•Referências: 8

    Nordic Homicide in Deep Time draws a unique and detailed picture of developments in human interpersonal violence and presents new findings on rates, patterns, and long-term changes in lethal violence in the Nordics. Conducted by an interdisciplinary team of criminologists and historians, the book analyses homicide and lethal violence in northern Europe in two eras - the 17th century and early 21st century. Similar and continuous societal structur…

  • Towards a Religion–Victimization Module for the International Self-Report Delinquency Study (ISRD) Context

    Open Access•Sophie Litvak, Janne Kivivuori et al.•ARTICLE•Kriminologijos studijos•2023

    The concept of postsecular society highlights the increasing relevance of religion in social, cultural, and political affairs. Given this trend, criminology should pay increasing attention to how religion is linked to victimization and offending. Since the religion–crime studies have traditionally focused on offending, the research lacunae are biggest in the study of victimization. The inclusion of religion is particularly relevant in internation…

  • Firearm Homicides in Europe

    Open Access•Katharina Krüsselmann, Pauline Aarten et al.•ARTICLE•Global Crime•2023•Citada por: 2•Referências: 4

    Detailed, comparative research on firearm violence in Europe is rare. Using data from the European Homicide Monitor, this paper presents the prevalence and characteristics of firearm homicides in Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland between 2001 and 2016. Furthermore, we compare firearm to non-firearm homicides to assess the degree of uniqueness of firearms as modus operandi. We find that the firearm homicide rate varies acro…

  • Post-release outcomes of lethal and non-lethal offenders

    Open Access•Karoliina Suonpää, Mikko Aaltonen et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Criminal Justice•2023•Referências: 42

    This study examines post-release outcomes of former prisoners convicted of severe violence. We use random intercept models to compare recidivism and participation in employment or education among Finnish offenders convicted of homicide (n = 509), attempted homicide (n = 800), or aggravated assault (n = 1714). A matching algorithm is used to adjust for observed preexisting differences among the three offender groups. Within 3 years post-release, 5…
