Is arrest for prohibited drug use a prelude to more serious offending? Australian & New Zealand Journal of Criminology Pub Date : 2022-06-23 Wai-Yin Wan, Don Weatherburn
Although they constitute a significant fraction of the workload of most courts, very little research has been conducted on the criminal careers of those who commit minor offences.

‘Offending doesn't happen in a vacuum’: The backgrounds and experiences of children under the age of 14 years who offend Australian & New Zealand Journal of Criminology Pub Date : 2022-03-23 Jerome Reil, Ian Lambie, Ruth Allen
Relative to those who first offend in adolescence, younger children who offend are at increased risk of engaging in serious, persistent, and violent offending. In addition, these children are at risk of a range of adverse psychosocial outcomes across the lifespan. Early intervention with children at risk of offending is therefore critical to support children to thrive and reduce offending and victimisation

Still no bodies: Five years of “no body, no parole” in Queensland, Australia Australian & New Zealand Journal of Criminology Pub Date : 2022-03-15 Monique Moffa, Michele Ruyters, Greg Stratton
“No body, no parole” laws have been introduced in and expanded across Australia since 2015.

Disability support and reincarceration after a first adult prison custody episode for people with intellectual disability in New South Wales, Australia Australian & New Zealand Journal of Criminology Pub Date : 2022-03-15 Julian Trofimovs, Preeyaporn Srasuebkul, Julian N Trollor, Leanne Dowse, Julian N Trollor
Prisoners with an intellectual disability (ID) are an over-represented group in custody, with studies indicating this group is more likely to reoffend and be reincarcerated than the general prison population. While prisoners with ID share many of the same risk factors for recidivism as the general prison population, the lack of adequate disability support has been argued to be an additional key driver

Following a vehicle too closely (otherwise known as tailgating) is a high-risk behavior and major contributor to motor-vehicle collisions and injuries. Both legal and nonlegal countermeasures are currently in place in an attempt to prevent this behavior, yet there has been limited research that has examined the effectiveness of both legal and nonlegal factors on engagement in the behavior. Therefore

The uncertain commodity of ‘security’: Are private security companies ‘value for money’ for domestic violence services? Australian & New Zealand Journal of Criminology Pub Date : 2021-10-11 Diarmaid Harkin
Reflecting on Loader and White’s (2018) suggestion that the labour of private security workers is difficult to ‘commodify’, this paper uses original empirical data to show that there are four elements to what private security workers ‘do’ for victims of domestic violence when contracted by domestic violence advocacy services: they provide (a) practical ‘target-hardening’ measures, (b) ‘expert’ advice

In the past decade, the attention to the Calabrian mafia, the ‘ndrangheta, has been rekindled everywhere in the world. On the one hand, Italian attention to the phenomenon has increased; on the other hand, the mobility of the Calabrian clans has been the object of scrutiny in view of the clan’s wealth and ability to commit transnational criminal activities.

Research shows there is variability in factors that cause a person to radicalize to violent extremism. The use of the push/pull distinction has been one way in which scholars have aimed to provide clarity to the process of radicalization and extremist disengagement. However, it remains a conceptually underdeveloped distinction. In this paper, we draw on aspects of criminological theory to better understand

Engaging Muslims in counter-terrorism (CT) has proved challenging for police worldwide. Some research has focussed on the utility of police being procedurally just in their CT strategies to enhance their legitimacy and subsequent cooperation from Muslims.

Housing, crises and crime Australian & New Zealand Journal of Criminology Pub Date : 2021-06-06 John Braithwaite
A disappointment of responses to the Covid-19 crisis is that governments have not invested massively in public housing.

There is known to be considerable overlap among the victims and perpetrators of crime. However, the extent of this overlap early in life among children and young adolescents is not clear. We examined the sociodemographic profiles of young people who had early contact with police regarding a criminal incident as a person of interest, victim and/or witness, as well as the patterns of multiple police
