Meta-analyses have provided major findings about developmental predictors of offending. However, there has been little focus on their relative ability to predict offending behaviour. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review of meta-analyses with two aims: 1) to summarize all well-established knowledge about developmental (explanatory) predictors of offending, and 2) to sort those predictors according

Sexual assault is prevalent on college campuses, with research showing that one in five undergraduate college women will be victims of sexual assault. Previous research has identified highly-masculine settings in higher education, such as fraternities and male athletic teams, as high-risk populations for sexual assault perpetration, resulting in the development of multiple interventions targeted at

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a significant public health concern globally with substantial impact on the health of victims. Although research on IPV has increased substantially over the past several decades, effective evidence-based interventions to address IPV behaviors by men remain limited. The IPV field has lacked a comprehensive review of the status of research across the broad areas that

Based on self-control and social bonds theories, this meta-analysis tests the links between low self-control, social bonds (academic bonds), and deviant behaviors. To reduce the heterogeneity, we confined ourselves to the academic bonds and excluded social bonds regarding family, religion, work, and peers. This research includes 32 studies (N = 107,046). The results show that the effect of academic

Aggressive and violent behaviors are often present in the military. This special issue focused on violence in the military is timely as the United States military has been involved in continuous overseas contingency operations for nearly two decades due to the infamous “9/11” attacks on the twin towers and pentagon. In this introduction to the special issue, the guest editors illuminate some of the

Background Everyday sadism is unique among the dark personality traits that form the Dark Tetrad. Whilst it shares the Dark Core of Personality with psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism, it is theoretically distinct from the other members in that involves an appetite for cruelty. Objective Given mounting evidence of everyday sadism being associated with socially aversive behaviour, and its

In 1897, sociologist Émile Durkheim published in his book the first body of research on the social causes of suicide. His research challenged the notion that suicide potential factors are limited to psychological or emotional conditions and found a link between suicide and an individual's social connectedness to one's society as a member of a collective group. Since this early work, there has been

Less-than-lethal weapons, such as conductive energy devices (CEDs) and chemical sprays, have proliferated across law enforcement agencies over the past 30 years. This study reports on the findings of the first systematic review of the effects of police use of less-than-lethal weapons on citizen and officer harm. Following Campbell Collaboration guidelines, we used rigorous criteria for inclusion of

Globally, one in four women experience intimate partner violence (IPV) at some point in their life. This is particularly prevalent in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs), highlighting the need to understand how IPV can be reduced. Our aim was to summarize the evidence base for interventions to reduce IPV in LMICs. We searched for studies published in peer-reviewed journals in PsycINFO, PubMed,

Violence in the workplace represents a pressing social problem, drawing attention to the need for both public and private prevention interventions. Workplace violence and workplace violence prevention serve as a crucial topic globally, given the context of violence and victimization in the workplace across a range of industries, and in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The objective of this article

Sexual, emotional, and physical abuse are often underreported in the Military, and large-scale epidemiological research is limited. The current work examines the incidence rates of abuse across six demographic factors (age, gender, rank, marital status, race, and branch) using the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) in active-duty U.S. military service members to establish a comparative cohort

PTSD is associated with increased physical and psychological aggression in civilian, active duty, and veteran populations in the extant literature. That said, not all individuals with PTSD exhibit aggressive behaviors. As such, more work is needed to identify mediators and moderators of this relationship. The present study examined a conditional process model that examined 1) the degree to which depressive

Youth firesetting is an enduring problem that results in significant economic and personal harm. Fire safety education (FSE) is the most commonly provided intervention for youth firesetting internationally. However, no systematic review exists which synthesises the evidence base on the effectiveness of FSE as an intervention for youth firesetting. The current study aims to address this gap in the literature

Although the violence of war is well-known, members of the United States military also struggle with domestic violence, including intimate partner violence and child abuse and neglect. The prevalence of domestic violence is not necessarily higher in the military than in the general population. However, military domestic violence does occur under institutional and cultural conditions quite different

The aims of this study were to identify self-reported point-prevalence rates of concerns about relationship mistreatment, emotional abuse, and physical abuse among military medical personnel and to evaluate demographic and military risk factors associated with these concerns. Participants (N = 721) were U.S. Air Force military medical personnel (61.4% male) deployed to Iraq between 2004 and 2011 who

Digital phenotyping offers a powerful approach for forecasting risk for suicidal ideation or attempts over time. This method may serve as an especially useful strategy for understanding associations between sleep disorder symptoms and suicidal ideation and behavior. Sleep disorder symptoms predict suicidal ideation and behavior in cross-sectional research among active-duty military personnel, but few

Irritability, angry outbursts, and aggression are common among individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Although aggression can be a problem among many individuals with PTSD, research suggests that the relationship between PTSD and aggression might be particularly relevant among military/veteran populations as compared to civilians. The current study examined psychological and physical

In this special issue, invited authors with expertise in correctional and forensic psychology (and related disciplines) were offered an opportunity to reflect on the idea of practice frameworks given their own research interests, expertise and practice experiences. In this article we provide a commentary on these contributions with the view of further developing the idea of ‘practice frameworks’ in

Justice-involved veterans face heightened risk for mental health issues, substance abuse and correlated interaction with the criminal justice system, given the nature of their military service. The purpose of this study is to provide a systematic review of the research involving the correlates of veterans involvement with the criminal justice system, as to date, there are no related publications performing

Background This critical review analyzes neuroimaging studies that examine the brain functioning and structure of male batterers, as well as the brain sequeale of women and children who are victims of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW). Objective/method Collect and discuss results from neuroimaging research focusing on intimate partner violence against women, to better understand this

Bullying is recognized as a significant problem that negatively impacts school-aged children worldwide. Although much has been learned about bullying and related physical and mental health problems, a limited number of studies have examined the relations between bullying victimization, academic achievement, and school attendance, and fewer studies have been published on the temporal priority of these

Education philosophies of self-cultivation have the basis and societal ideology of learning a powerful and traditionally efficient heritage that stretches back to ancient times in the traditional methods. There are many challenges in incorporating the philosophies in the theoretical perspective in early childhood education. Therefore in this paper, the educational philosophies and theoretical perspective

To develop rehabilitative treatment programs for persons who have committed crimes, correctional psychologists build theoretical structures that weld theoretical ideas about the causes of criminal behavior, theoretical perspectives about appropriate targets for correctional intervention and normative assumptions about crime and the aims of correctional intervention. To differentiate the tri-partite

Efforts to implement the Good Lives Model (GLM) in offending treatment programs highlight common challenges across diverse settings. Long described as an overarching framework for rehabilitation, the GLM has recently been reconstructed as a practice framework. In this paper, the authors explore how the reconstruction of the GLM as a practice framework can help address challenges to GLM implementation

Many cities and countries strive to create smart transportation systems that use the abundance of multisource and multi-data on transport infrastructure functionality and improve human mobility, interests, and lifestyle. The challenges in a sustainable urban transportation system include behavioral visualization, road behavior classification, anomalies detection, and traffic prediction by the human

Modern teaching and learning integration has given more chances to cross-cultural interactions increasing demand for English-speaking talents within the community and growing demands on the English-speaking ability. Therefore, high-quality, economic development and interaction effective English speaking people are really important. For college, English listening and teaching have been highly valued

In the era of Big Data, English teaching services incorporation and growth face the challenge of the vast volume, diversity, and unseen meaning of the data resources. Multimedia education has considerable realistic importance in the current situation. This calls for contemporary English teachers to learn the criteria and basic digital education operations and combine modern information technology with

The aim of this review is to understand what is known about the genetic and environmental influences on the development of psychopathy. Psychopathy is considered a personality structure in which affective, interpersonal, and behavioral deficits are evidenced. Both genetic and environmental effects contribute to the development of this personality structure. In this systematic review, documents from

Stress in the English acoustic system is one of the most essential stable connections. Acoustics and rheology are intimately connected since ultrasound is basically a mechanical stress wave. Because the direction of the acoustic stress corresponds with the direction of propagation, this sort of rheology is referred to as longitudinal rheology. Acoustic stress correlates are classified into four categories:

Music teachers' work performance and personal career development are essential for the improvement of work culture. There are influencing factors of job performance and satisfaction that affect music teachers' career development in most regions. Less motivation, lowering of wages, and lack of scheduled periods are the issues that impact job performance and satisfaction. Therefore a questionnaire is

Competence lack, inadequate social support at work leads to the inability of workers since they are suffering from occupational stress. This will cause distress, burnout or psychosomatic difficulties, decreases in quality of life and service provision. Some of them may connect to work in an individual's personal life, both as managers, recognize stressors in their department, and respond on a departmental

Piano accompaniment is necessary for the creation and performance in music atmosphere and exhibits dance motion, passionate appeal, or qualities of the style. These are stated positively, and work rates were poor with no music, while removing the music is considered the longest in limited research to find the differences with reports that could derive from methodological problems. Performing a complete

Thinking skills are mental, behavioral, and strategic mechanisms used in the resolution of concerns and decision-making. Interviewed school staff believed the thinking skill programs promote critical thinking and increased verbal uses, listening carefully, cooperation, confidence, and individuality. In this paper, Effective Teaching Strategies (ETS) are used to improve early childhood thinking skills

Background Violence and aggression have mental and physical health consequences and costs for individuals and society. The aim of this review is to identify recent cross-sector innovative approaches in psychosocial interventions for managing violence and aggression in adults. Methods We used a horizon scanning approach. Inclusion criteria were clinical trials published or registered 2017–2020 evaluating

The child's mental development can be described as how a child transforms over time and integrates physical, intellectual, and language development and emotional and social development. Child mental development involves the vision, observation, recollection, creativity, reflection, solution of problems, and intellect and expression. Socioeconomic status (SES) affects young children's academic, linguistic

In today's research domains, the automatic analysis in texts of emotion is of growing importance. Increasing social media popularity, people started sharing their views and thoughts through textual messages. At present, people prefer to reveal the ideal answer and social assistance, including in publicly organized topics such as child abuse (CA). The increasing number of abuse-related messages posted

Risk assessment is critical to prevent psychological abuse of children as it can classify high-risk situations requiring action to protect children. Despite the widespread use of risk evaluation tools in child care, the prediction of mental health issues and the properties of the tools are consistent with increased predictive efficacy are still unclear. The psychological abuse of children is associated

In this paper, we will examine evidence-based practice (EBP) as a primary example of translating science into practice, and as the predominant model of clinical practice within psychology. We argue that despite the merits of EBP and its value for clinical psychology, key conceptual issues arise from the inquiry component of the EBP model. Second, we examine efforts to incorporate scientific models

Recent advancements in neuroimaging have made new ways of breaking down the dynamic interplay of genes and environmental influences, which affect the structure of accessible brain development. The impact on language abilities and verbal short-term memory of pre-school children from socioeconomic status (SES). Children from lower SES show less linguistic abilities and communication skills compared to

Presently, there are multiple values that people should know about human society. Further, young children's ability to choose and achieve their interpersonal objectives has been described as early childhood, and they are capable of working with adults. This paper studies various factors that lead to early childhood social competence and thus presents the sustainable policies for bullying prevention

Promotion, preventive and early development interventions may have the greatest effect on children's health and wellbeing. Early mental health intervention strategies can enable better health pathways, take steps well before health conditions worsen, or deter them from occurring. Subthreshold depression applies to clinically significant signs that may not fulfill major depression disorders (MDD) requirements

Scientific classification provides researchers and practitioners with a method for structuring and organizing the rich complexities of scientific phenomena. Despite classification having a significant foothold on research and practice, our current approaches in the correctional domain suffer from several conceptual problems. In this paper, first, we outline the epistemic foundations of correctional

A comprehensive and well-cited review on the topic of female child sex offenders was published by Grayston and DeLuca in 1999. Over the past twenty years, the clinical and empirical literature relating to female child sex offending has grown. In particular, more is now known about the characteristics of female child sex offenders, and the nature, type, and context of offences, as well as motivations

Probation and parole officers must carefully balance law enforcement and rehabilitation goals to deliver effective treatments and behavioral controls. The tension between these two goals can create uncertainty regarding appropriate supervision practices. The present study summarizes results from an effort to construct community supervision practice guidelines by integrating scientific research and

Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) has been associated with multiple adverse medical, psychological, behavioral, depression, and social effects. Moreover, there can be a lack of awareness of the possible psychological resources that could reduce childhood emotional abuse's negative results. Hence in this paper, Deep learning assisted impact of psychological abuse and depression (DL-IPAD) in children from

Restorative justice offers a distinct approach for responding to moral harm. Its core values emphasise voluntariness, safety, inclusion, dignity, respect, responsibility, accountability, truth-telling and honesty. It focuses on addressing harm, offering people who have committed or been harmed by crime the opportunity to safely discuss the nature and consequences of the offence, ask questions and offer

Sports and exercise are prominent practices in prisoners' everyday lives, yet their spatial importance in prison surroundings has not been thoroughly studied across the world. The role and involvement of prisoners in prison life have become critical issues in sports competitions. Therefore, this paper proposes a Meta-analysis framework (MAF) to evaluate the barriers to prisoners' participation in sports

Ward & Durrant (2021, this issue) explain the need for practice theories, to tie together the abstract, explanatory features of criminological theories, and operationalization of interventions. In this paper, the theory/theories of “desistance” (i.e., the cessation of criminal activity) are examined with an eye toward describing the various frameworks that explain and predict desistance from crime

Childhood is a very important period in one's life. Exposure to harmful and stressful events in childhood causes a serious problem in adulthood. This is because these adverse childhood events cause severe harmful psychological changes to the brain's chemical composition. Due to this, these children experience harmful problems in their adulthood. Hence, analysis of direct and indirect adversity for

Digital techniques have been used to record cultural heritage with high-quality imagery and documentation. However, some historical properties are completely or partially labeled, and some are externally impaired, which reduces their attraction and causes loss of value. Classification of images is one of the most significant digital-era tasks. As for cultural heritage, classification processes must

There isa widespread pattern in the current college teaching and learning environment where colleges and universities emphasize introducing experience, conventional teaching approaches, measuring expertise, non-practical skills, innovation, and market-orientated skills. English is becoming ever more important as an instrument for acquiring scholarly knowledge and information with the difficulties posed

This systematic review focused on animal cruelty in abusive adult intimate partner relationships with a specific focus on the prevalence, motivations, and impact of animal abuse on victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) and the pets involved. Peer-reviewed research articles were sourced from online databases PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus and PsycInfo in July 2020. Overall, 427 records were retrieved,

Research has shown that incarcerated individuals experience significantly higher rates of trauma prior to and during incarceration, compared with the general population. However, despite the rich evidence regarding traumatic backgrounds, and evidence of a link between trauma and (re)offending, trauma-informed practice among inmates, particularly among men, is still limited. The paucity of trauma-informed

Polygraph examinations are commonly used to monitor individuals following conviction for a sexual offense. The objective of polygraph use is to elicit risk-relevant disclosures to inform and improve management of people who have offended sexually, with the ultimate aim of reducing the likelihood of reoffending. However, by synthesizing and evaluating the existing recidivism literature relating to post-conviction

The association between childhood trauma and aggressive and violent behavior in chronic psychotic conditions (e.g., schizophrenia) is well-established. However, the impact of childhood trauma on aggression and violent behavior in first episode psychosis is unclear and comparatively understudied. To date, studies examining these relations in first episode psychosis have found that individuals experiencing

Correctional systems are often quite limited in their capacity to work cross-culturally and little guidance is currently available to support effective practice. This paper considers the different ways in which correctional practice is regulated, arguing that efforts to understand cultural values and knowledge are central to the development of cross-cultural practice guidelines. However, it is further

It is a ubiquitous pattern around the globe that indigenous peoples who have endured historic and ongoing collective trauma (e.g., colonization) are overrepresented in negative life outcomes such as poverty and imprisonment. Part of the colonizing imperative is to undermine indigenous knowledge as a valid and viable knowledge system, particularly via the hegemony of dominating Western scientific values

Theoretical issues in the explanation and intervention of offending behavior have been well-documented. We suggest that these issues are particularly prevalent in the way that emotion is targeted through dominant approaches to correctional explanation and practice. These approaches typically target specific emotional states which are judged to be ‘offence-relevant’, assume that emotional states act
