The findings from public surveys conducted in Abu Dhabi since 2015 have consistently found individuals' perceptions of ‘feelings of safety’ scored over 90%. This study investigates the factors that contribute to the public's perception of safety in public spaces using the Emirate's Community Safety Survey. Correlative analysis identified that confidence in Abu Dhabi Police's plans and procedures, responses to traffic-related incidents, and emergency responses were influential, with moderate correlation values above 0.30. Inferential analysis revealed that confidence in and satisfaction with the Abu Dhabi Police service, along with confidence in their ability to set plans and procedures, played an important role in enhancing public safety perceptions. The ordinal regression model, with a predictive accuracy of 86.65%, could be used to accurately predict the levels of safety in Abu Dhabi. These findings suggest strategic areas for police to focus on when improving public safety perceptions.

Employment is a barrier for individuals with a prior sexual offence. This study examined employability for a non-public-facing, low-skilled job, before and after a disclosure and barring service (DBS) check. The DBS check revealed either (i) rape, (ii) sexual activity with a child, (iii) possession of indecent photographs of children, or (iv) no criminal conviction. We measured ratings of trustworthiness, company value, and suitability for the role before and after the disclosure. Participants were then invited to keep or reject the candidate. As predicted, those with a prior sexual offence were perceived as less trustworthy, valuable, or suitable for employment. Contact offences received higher rejections (sexual activity with a child 49%, rape, 38%) than possession of photographs of children (32%). This data indicates discrimination still occurs when a DBS check is provided after an initial hiring decision. Directions for future research for enhancing employment opportunities are discussed.

Demographic inequalities in law enforcement practices and subsequent youth justice decisions are well-documented in many youth justice systems worldwide. Informed by the concept of ‘cumulative disadvantage’ and empirical evidence from England & Wales and the Netherlands, this paper explores how inequalities in youth justice decisions are produced, how they might move and accumulate across different stages of the youth justice process and interact with inequalities in interlocking systems, specifically the educational system and the child protection system. Subsequently, this paper presents the first contours of an overarching analytical framework which can be used to unpack the complex web of dynamics, interactions and mechanisms that produce and reinforce inequalities in youth justice decisions. The analytical framework distinguishes seven spheres of influence – from the micro to the macro – that shape youth justice decision-making, out of which inequalities might develop and accumulate. These spheres of influence illustrate that interactions between individuals, agencies and systems as well as the wider societal context are all implicated in the mechanisms of creating, sustaining or amplifying children's inequalities and disadvantages in youth justice. Overall, by illuminating the complexity and the multidimensional nature of mechanisms of inequality and cumulative disadvantage in youth justice decision-making, the presented analytical framework offers researchers, policymakers and practitioners much-needed guidance to identify avenues for further inquiry and potential areas for reform, with the aim of effectively addressing unwarranted inequalities in youth justice in England & Wales, the Netherlands and internationally.

This study explores how intergroup bias and conflict can be reduced in multiethnic Bosnia and Herzegovina, fostering conditions for intergroup dialogue that could lead to more effective counterterrorism policies. Intergroup Emotions Theory (IET) was applied to examine differences in perceptions of terrorism (PTQ-SF) based on ethnic/religious affiliation and sex. MANCOVA revealed statistically significant differences in perceptions of terrorism among ethnic groups of Bosnia and Herzegovina within the convenience sample (N = 576), with four out of eight subscales showing such differences. Additionally, significant differences were found between women and men across four subscales. Importantly, it was observed that sex, through re-categorization as a common category overlapping with ethnicity, may help reduce interethnic animosity by "reconciling" perceptions of terrorism. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

Jurisdiction in online speech crime cases in the European Union

This paper presents a new approach to jurisdiction over online communication-related crimes. It argues that, considering the protective aims of penal law and the unique nature of speech, asserting jurisdiction based on territorial connections is unjustified in this context. Drawing from jurisprudence, philosophy of law, and linguistics, it emphasizes that for speech to be performed, it requires not only intentional conduct by the perpetrator but also the necessary engagement of recipients who, by means of interpretive strategies, recognize this behavior as intentionally expressing the perpetrator's mental experiences. They need not be the direct victims of speech; however, through the recognition they performed, they can be influenced by it. Therefore, it concludes that the jurisdiction most relevant for evaluating speech is that of the state with the closest connection to those recipients. Additionally, it describes how such an approach would facilitate the European Union's efforts in combating harmful on-line expression.

We aimed to examine the contribution of crime type, the severity of crime, and situational factors to predict the perception of fine penalty replacing imprisonment. We used snowball sampling method to find 451 respondents from China participated in eight crime scenarios. The results of the chi-square test and multiple logistic regression analysis showed the following. (1) “The public's attitude toward fine penalty instead of imprisonment” was related to crime type, severity, situational case factors, the respondent's Hukou (Household registration), and educational background. (2) Many respondents supported independent application of fine penalty to less serious violent crimes. (3) The respondents with rural Hukou or without legal education backgrounds preferred fine penalty to imprisonment.

This study explores risk factors for Protection Order (PO) violation in intimate partner violence (IPV) cases in Montevideo, Uruguay, a topic not yet investigated in Latin America. Using a sample of 1057 police-reported IPV cases, logistic regression compares literature-supported risk factors with those used in public policy to predict women's IPV revictimization. Results show that 26% of offenders violate POs, mainly through harassment (82%) and psychological violence (46%), and police monitoring reduces risk of offenders' recidivism by 48.5%. Additionally, they highlight that IPV trajectories of both victims (OR = 1.85) and offenders (OR = 1.89) are the strongest predictors of reabuse. These findings suggest that Uruguayan policymakers should rethink police intervention and public action on IPV by focusing on two key actions: increasing investment in data collection and analysis to improve PO monitoring and police response, and developing strategies beyond criminal sanctions to address offender treatment and victim support to prevent IPV reabuse.

This study examines the effects of women's absolute status, relative status, and patriarchal culture on women's victimization within and across nations. The study uses a multilevel mixed-effects model on the World Value Survey Wave 7 dataset. At the individual level, results show that women with higher financial status (absolute status) are victimized at lower rates. Women are also more likely to be victimized based on relative status, such as being the main wage earner, thus supporting the Backlash hypothesis. Additionally, women engaging in more social activities, which aligns with the opportunity perspective, show a higher risk of victimization. At the country level, women's relative status is significant, as is the positive association between patriarchal culture and women's victimization, supporting the Backlash hypothesis again. Overall, the findings suggest the need for the utilization of appropriate methodological and theoretical approaches to examine women's victimization.

Prosecutors are regularly exposed to traumatic accounts of crimes against children in their work. Accompanied by other stressors such as heavy caseloads and short deadlines, prosecutors in child abuse cases are at risk for psychological ill-health. We aimed to explore the experiences of prosecutors working as leading interrogators in cases of child abuse and to identify their most salient challenges and resources. We conducted semi-structured interviews with six prosecutors working in a police district in Norway, all specialized in child abuse cases. A thematic analysis identified the workload and being responsible for the investigation but without any authority to allocate resources as the main stressors. Further, the nature of the cases increases the stress, and the prosecutors are left out of debriefing routines. Further, they experience marginal acknowledgment and understanding from the management, and collegial support is scarce. The prosecutors describe the complexity and challenging part of investigating child abuse cases as highly motivating and meaningful.
