Sentencing Discrimination and Disparities in Bribery Cases in Malaysia: an Assessment Asian Journal of Criminology (IF 1.778) Pub Date : 2023-12-01 Christine Siew Pyng Chong, Suresh Narayanan, Andrew K. G. Tan
Sentencing differences can arise from discriminatory sentences and sentence disparities. Only the former has been examined in Malaysia. This study addresses the gap using data on convicted bribe offenders between 2010 and 2021. Results show that while discriminatory sentencing arising from non-legal considerations exists, their effects on fines and imprisonment were not always uniform or in the same

The Spatial Dimension of Police Legitimacy: An Exploration of Two Pacific Island States Asian Journal of Criminology (IF 1.778) Pub Date : 2023-11-02 Tyler Cawthray, Melissa Bull
The police legitimacy literature is grounded predominantly in studies from the Global North. In these contexts, technology and economic resources allow policing institutions to exercise significant reach in ways that mitigate the challenges to service delivery posed by distance and geography while the bureaucratic state relationally distances these same institutions from the public.

The concept of organizational justice refers to employee perceptions about whether the employing organization treats workers in a fair and just manner.

Criminology and Crime Science in the Arab World Asian Journal of Criminology (IF 1.778) Pub Date : 2023-06-01 Khaled S. Al-Rashidi
Throughout most of the twentieth century, Western criminological thought was preoccupied by theories of modern criminology, which were concerned with the question of why individuals commit crime. Since the late 1970s, however, the Western world has experienced new reconfigurations in the crime control field, one of which is the transformation of Western criminological thought. New crime theories have

Hostage Justice and Wrongful Convictions in Japan Asian Journal of Criminology (IF 1.778) Pub Date : 2022-11-05 David T. Johnson
Few people convicted of crime have been exonerated in Japan, leading some commentators to claim that the country does not have a problem with wrongful convictions. But this view is mistaken. Japan’s wrongful conviction problem is probably much larger than it appears. Criminal suspects in Japan have a duty to receive interrogation even after they have invoked their right to silence, leading to long

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is widespread across the Global South, including India, due to cultural and patriarchal norms that encourage and facilitate such behaviors. These include age at marriage, community- and individual-level encouragement of IPV, and limited access to education across the Global South, particularly for women. Despite this, little research has sought to disentangle the role

Trust is a vital part of society and is critical for organizations.

Existing parricide research is largely situated within a North American and European context, and foregrounds mental illness or adolescent offender typologies. As such, a gap exists on parricides in other cultural contexts and those perpetrated by women. This paper examines historic domestic parricides committed by women in South Korea (“Korea”).

There is a growing trend to both theoretically and empirically explain public punitiveness from a general social theory of late modernity.

Geography and time are the two constraints on illegal acts. The extant research on terrorism suggests that terrorists make an expected cost-benefit analysis, and thus make bounded, rational choices regarding their attacks. They carry out attacks that are likely to benefit their organizational goals, and they commit attacks choosing the easiest way with the least effort. This assumption leads to the

Studies on confidence in the police have employed three theoretical frameworks: (1) an instrumental model that focuses on the effect of police effectiveness and fear of crime, (2) an expressive model that emphasizes the role of general perception on social cohesion, and (3) a procedural model that highlights the distinct role of perceived police fairness.

The amendment of the Malaysian Criminal Procedure Code in 2010 formalised the plea-bargaining process and introduced two new sections, 172C and 172D.

Proactive Policing: a Summary of the Report of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Asian Journal of Criminology (IF 1.778) Pub Date : 2019-05-16 David Weisburd, Malay K.

This paper provides a summary of our report for the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine on proactive policing. We find that there is sufficient scientific evidence to support the adoption of many proactive policing practices if the primary goal is to reduce crime, though the evidence base generally does not provide long-term or jurisdictional estimates. In turn, we conclude that
