Identifying Risky Places on Campus
The present study examines the association between fear of crime, low self-control, and the identification of risky places on a college campus. Based on self-report data from undergraduate students at a medium-sized Southern university collected during spring 2020, this research investigates how variations in self-control influence perceptions of campus safety. Fear of crime is quantified by aggregating individual perceptions regarding the relati…
Identifying and Explaining the Harmful Effects of Stalking Victimization
The criteria used to identify the crime of stalking have been debated since the 1990s, with most definitions including a so-called “fear standard” as a form of harm experienced by victims. The current study takes the next logical step in this dialogue to examine the varied harms that victims of stalking experience. These analyses operationalize harm through the creation of a harm scale based on several dimensions of fear and emotional distress. B…
Examining Risk Factors of Intimate Partner Violence Victimization in Central America
The current study examines country-specific risk factors of intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization among Guatemalan and Honduran women. More specifically, we examine if (in)equality between partners, experience of controlling or emotionally abusive behavior, and components of the intergenerational transmission of violence significantly affect the risk of lifetime IPV victimization for Guatemalan ( N = 5,645) and Honduran women ( N = 9,427)…
Homicide Hot Spots in Chicago
Prior research on crime hot spots has been mostly concerned with the analyses of cross-sectional data or short-term aggregations. Less research, however, has conducted longitudinal analyses on homicide hot spots and their dynamic behavior over time. The current study assessed 5 years of Chicago homicides (2016–2020) by police beats to explore how hot spots of homicides behave, with specific attention to durability. We find that Chicago homicides …
Variations in Victimization
Existing research suggests that victimization risk is higher among urban residents. Violence against women is a notable exception in this trend. While the literature does indicate that rural women are at equal risk for violent victimization, it does not differentiate between types of non-urban spaces (exurbs, suburbs, small towns, dispersed rural). We use a five-category measure of rural-urban location articulated land use to disentangle victim–o…
Reporting and Help-Seeking among Sexual Minority and Heterosexual Victims of Stalking
Given the disproportionately higher rates of stalking among sexual minority individuals, the present study aimed to explore factors that influence these victims' help-seeking behaviors. Employing data from the United States' 2019 National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) Supplemental Victimization Survey (SVS), this study explores various demographic and psychological factors impacting help-seeking among sexual minority and heterosexual victims.…
Victim reactions to being stalked
The current research utilized the National Crime Victimization Survey Supplemental Victimization Survey to investigate stalking in the United States. These data, collected from stalking victims, address the relationship between victims' perceptions of the stalker's motives on two post‐victimization outcomes. Specifically, we examined the relationship between the victim's assessment of motive and the degree of harm they reported, along with explor…
Examining Student Exposure to and Attitudes toward #MeToo-Related Content in Criminal Justice Classrooms
The “MeToo” movement has presented criminal justice and criminology instructors with an opportunity to discuss the sensitive topic of sexual violence in a manner that is contemporary and immediately relevant to students. Introducing #MeToo-related content keeps course material grounded in current justice. Yet, at the heart of many sensitive topics in criminal justice is victimization. As such, the “MeToo” movement and many criminal justice issues…
An understudied population? Exploring the factors associated with fear of crime in a semi-rural environment
The intersection of fear of crime and media consumption has been examined in urban environments extensively. However, like many aspects of criminal justice research, much less is known about these concepts in non-urban environments. Further, there is an assumption that the processes of how media will influence fear of crime will work similarly in non-urban environments. This question remains open to empirical examination. In this paper, we invest…
The Physical and Emotional Toll of Identity Theft Victimization
The present study investigates the physical and emotional consequences of suffering an identity-related criminal victimization. In addition to reporting the extent and nature of these consequences, the present research also examines the potential determinants of the physical harms victims suffer following identity theft. Data from an analytic sample of 2,299 victims of identity theft from the U.S. National Crime Victimization Survey are analyzed,…
Vulnerability, context, and fear of victimization
The importance of individual- and structural-level factors in predicting fear of victimization has been a source of many empirical evaluations. Theoretical predictors that influence these associations such as those outlined in the vulnerability thesis on fear of crime regularly find that age, race, and gender are predictors of fear. We explore whether adolescent populations, not yet having internalized vulnerability, are more influenced by contex…

Is Cyberbullying a Stand Alone Construct? Using Quantitative Analysis to Evaluate a 21st Century Social Question
Using a subsample of the 2009 National Crime Victimization Survey, School Crime Supplement (NCVS-SCS), the present study explores the nature of the relationship between cyberbullying and traditional bullying victimization among students aged 12–18. One question of particular interest in the recent cyberbullying literature regards the classification of cyberbullying relative to traditional school yard bullying. As is the case in the cyber victimiz…
