ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to determine whether perceived peer delinquency, moral neutralization, and criminal victimization mediated the connection between past and future criminality. Using data from the first five waves and all 1,725 participants (918 boys, 807 girls) in the National Youth Survey (NYS), this study tested a two-mediator pathway modeling on the peer influence effect (delinquency → peer delinquency → moral neutralization → delinquency), and a two-mediator pathway modeled on the person proximity effect (delinquency → peer delinquency → victimization → delinquency). The total indirect effect of both pathways and a shortened pathway that ran from delinquency to peer delinquency to delinquency were significant regardless of whether the full delinquency score or a dichotomized version of that score served as the outcome measure. Shortened pathways mediated solely by moral neutralization or victimization, however, failed to achieve significance. These results provide further support for a cognitive mediation interpretation of the past crime-future crime relationship. The cognitive mediation effect of perceived peer delinquency is discussed in relationship to previously identified processes known to give rise to crime continuity – namely, population heterogeneity, state dependence, and psychological inertia.KEYWORDS: Crime continuitypeer delinquencymoral neutralizationvictimization Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementData used in this study can be obtained through the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/pages/).

ABSTRACTDue to the difficult nature of correctional work, a large body of research has examined factors like job stress, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment among correctional officers. Although this research is valuable, there has been limited research examining how correctional work may differentially impact males and females, which is particularly true for work-family conflict (WFC) research. Given the increase in females working in correctional institutions and the barriers and conflict they faced, the current study assesses the gendered nature of strain-based and time-based WFC on job stress, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment among male and female correctional officers from two Southwestern state-run prisons. The findings reveal that the effects of WFC were similar and different in some ways for male and female correctional officers. Specifically, strain-based WFC was a significant predictor of job stress for male and female correctional officers, whereas strain-based and time-based WFC was only significant for male correctional officers. Finally, neither dimension of WFC was related to organizational commitment. These findings are contextualized and explored against a backdrop of research on WFC and gender.Keywords: GenderWork-Family ConflictCorrectional OfficersJob StressJob SatisfactionOrganizational Commitment Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. Family-on-work conflict (FWC) is another form of WFC (Netemeyer, Boles, & McMurrian, Citation1996). FWC begins in the home and creates problems in the workplace. For example, if someone was going through a divorce, it may cause problems at work.2. For a full review on females entering prison work, see the article written by Griffin (Citation2013).3. The original survey did not include measures of behavior-based conflict – a limitation which is addressed later.4. The authors recognize that using sex as a proxy for gender is a limitation.

摘要由于惩教工作的艰巨性,大量的研究考察了惩教人员的工作压力、工作满意度和组织承诺等因素。虽然这项研究是有价值的,但关于惩教工作如何对男性和女性产生不同影响的研究有限,尤其是对工作-家庭冲突(WFC)的研究。鉴于女性惩教机构工作人员的增加及其面临的障碍和冲突,本研究评估了基于压力和基于时间的WFC对西南两所州立监狱男女惩教人员工作压力、工作满意度和组织承诺的性别性质。研究结果显示,对男性和女性惩教人员来说,WFC的效果既有相似之处,也有不同之处。具体而言,基于压力的WFC是男性和女性狱警工作压力的显著预测因子,而基于压力和时间的WFC仅对男性狱警有显著性影响。最后,工作满意度的两个维度都与组织承诺无关。这些发现是在WFC和性别研究的背景下进行的。关键词:性别-工作-家庭冲突惩教人员工作压力工作满意度组织承诺披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。家庭-工作冲突(FWC)是WFC的另一种形式(Netemeyer, Boles, & McMurrian, Citation1996)。FWC从家庭开始,在工作场所产生问题。例如,如果某人正在经历离婚,这可能会导致工作上的问题。关于女性进入监狱工作的完整评论,请参见Griffin的文章(Citation2013)。最初的调查没有包括对基于行为的冲突的测量——这是一个限制,稍后会解决。作者认识到,用性来代替性别是有局限性的。对性别的真正衡量应该包括所有的性别认同。这个问题将在关于限制的一节中进一步讨论。虽然它没有包括在结果部分,相关矩阵也不表明多重共线性是一个问题。作者简介:韦斯顿·j·莫罗,内华达大学里诺分校刑事司法系副教授。他获得了加州州立理工大学圣路易斯奥比斯波分校的社会科学学士学位;加州州立大学长滩分校刑事司法硕士学位;在亚利桑那州立大学获得犯罪学和刑事司法博士学位。他对第四修正案、警察使用武力、法庭和量刑以及少年司法进行了研究。莫罗博士的作品发表在《美国刑法杂志》、《刑事司法研究》、《刑法公报》、《犯罪与司法杂志》、《司法政策杂志》、《俄亥俄州立刑法杂志》和《警察季刊》上。Britni L.

ABSTRACT This exploratory study investigated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the social isolation and potential cybersecurity risks of Alzheimer’s and other dementia caregivers. Through interviews and focus groups with caregivers, we examined the isolation and risks of Alzheimer’s caregivers relative to their caregiving responsibilities during the pandemic in Virginia. The results illustrated the general isolation, frustration and vulnerability of dementia caregivers – frustration with and vulnerability to the virus, lack of resources and supports, and to cybercrime. Most caregivers expressed frustration with losing supports and services during the pandemic, not knowing what services were available or how to access them, and wanting virtual supports on their terms (e.g. where and when they needed them, how often, etc.). Virtual supports that did not meet their needs also increased their vulnerability to stress and isolation. While many caregivers understood their risks for cybercrime, they perceived themselves as lacking some technological knowledge needed to remain safe thus adding to stress and caregiving burden. The results show the need for training/education and general information about how to protect those who may be caring for others from cybercrime. Screening tools to identify those at risk for cybercrime would also be useful.
