The study developed and validated the Modern Adolescent Dating Violence Attitude (MADVA) scale, examining young people's attitudes towards online and offline variants of adolescent dating violence and abuse (ADVA). Data were collected among 2011 adolescents from England, aged 10–25 (M 15.72 years). Dimensionality and construct validity of the MADVA was investigated using traditional Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Results indicate a six-factor model (Attitudes towards: Sexual Abuse-Online; Sexual Abuse-Offline; Psychological Abuse-Online; Psychological Abuse-Offline; Physical Abuse-Offline; Controlling Behaviour-Offline). Excellent composite reliability and differential predictive validity were observed for all six subscales. The MADVA scale enables users to better evaluate ADVA prevention-programmes.

This article introduces the Decision-Making Framework for Policing (DMFP), a comprehensive tool designed to enhance the decision-making understanding of police officers. The DMFP considers the principles of heuristic, naturalistic, and rational decision-making along a fluid cognitive continuum to create a framework that addresses the limitations of the existing police National Decision Model (NDM). It achieves this by including 10 proposed typologies of police decision-making including: Routine, Tactical, Operational, Crisis, Investigative, Ethical, Interpersonal, Administrative, Managerial, and Strategic. These are integrated alongside existing and adapted decision-making models which are presented using a mnemonic letter strategy. Although the DMFP is theoretical, and its utility is presently untested in comparison to the existing NDM, it is presented to provide a tool to help improve officers' tacit knowledge, pattern recognition, and experiential learning through provision of easily recallable mnemonic decision-models. Thereby fostering a deeper understanding of cognitive processes and the factors influencing police decisions, potentially increasing consistency in reasoning, reducing decision errors, and enhancing policing outcomes.

This study investigated the effect of police officers’ perception of fairness in their performance evaluation on their employee silence, moderated by trust. The perception of fairness is divided into distributive justice and procedural justice and employee silence is divided into acquiescent silence and Defensive silence. Trust, the moderated variable, was divided into supervisor trust and organizational trust. Survey data were collected from police officers in Seoul, and quantitative analysis was conducted on them. Perceptions of fairness in performance evaluations had a negative effect on employee silence. Distributive justice had a strong negative effect on defensive silence, and procedural justice had a strong negative effect on acquiescent silence. The interaction between trust in superiors, organizational trust, and distributive justice and that between organizational trust and procedural justice had negative moderating effects on defensive silence but no moderating effect appeared for acquiescent silence.

Gender-based violence (GBV) is the subject of a unique statute and has been defined as a criminal offence requiring criminal intervention in Cape Verde since 2011. However, while numerous studies have been conducted on the sentencing outcomes of GBV against women, this phenomenon has received little to no attention in the African context, particularly in Cape Verde. This study examines 72 court cases involving heterosexual couples with female victims and male offenders. Data were collected using Punishment Severity and Psychologization Index (Secondary Criminalization) Revised – PSPI(SC) – R. The results revealed that the severity of punishment in GBV against women in Cape Verde on average is lenient and judges did not consider support from behavioral practitioners in their decisions. Additionally, correlation analysis showed that level of education and criminal record were correlated with the punishment severity index (PSI). To determine the strength and to what extent these two factors explain the variation in PSI, a multiple regression analysis was carried out. This indicated that (i) the lower the offender's level of education, the higher the severity of punishment and (ii) offenders with criminal records have an average harsher sentence than their respective counterparts who had no prior criminal record. The study highlights the need for a more rigorous and informed approach to GBV cases against women in Cape Verde, balancing punitive measures with the inclusion of behavioral practitioner support in judicial decisions to better protect victims and reduce recidivism among offenders.

Previous studies on legal consciousness have primarily focused on individual-level interactions with legal institutions or personnel. However, this perspective may overlook the indirect experiences that citizens gain through social media and the social normative consensus behind individual experiences. To address this gap, this study examined the shared legal consciousness expressed by citizens on a social media platform. Using corpus-assisted discourse analysis and sentiment analysis, we analyzed 284,792 danmu comments from the most popular legal channel on Bilibili in China. Our findings provide a contemporary perspective on legal consciousness in Chinese social media, uncovering three prevailing ideologies: moralization of law, heavy-penaltyism, and a predilection for retributive justice over restorative justice. Through our mixed-methods approach using big data, we demonstrate the potential for expanding research on legal consciousness. Our findings enable a deeper understanding of how legal consciousness is expressed and shared among citizens in the digital age.

Despite growing attention to the moderating role of self-control in the association between crime and its correlates, gender differences in this role remain underexplored. This study explored gender differences in the moderating role of self-control in the context of cyberbullying. We examined whether self-control moderates the links between cyberbullying perpetration via mobile devices and two cyberbullying igniters: 1) cyberbullying victimization and 2) association with peers having prior cyberbullying behaviors, and whether this moderating role varies across genders. A tobit regression analysis of 244 South Korean college students showed that among female students, self-control significantly moderated the link between cyberbullying and association with peers having prior cyberbullying behaviors. The relationship was stronger among female participants with higher levels of self-control, but not for male ones. The enhancing effect of self-control was significantly greater for females than males. The implications of gender differences and their relevance to cyberbullying are also discussed.

“Red flag” laws allow the government to remove firearms from someone if a judge is persuaded that the owner is a danger to self or others. We present the evolution of these laws and then develop and test a series of hypotheses using data from the Guns in American Life Survey (GALS), a nationwide online survey conducted in late 2018 to investigate public opinion. Findings show that adults who believe they know a “compromised” gun owner (e.g. dangerous, seriously mentally ill or suffering dementia) tend to be much more supportive of red flag laws, moderating the effects of immersion in gun culture. GALS reveals that political underpinnings are not determinative of the views of respondents. However, two sets of gun-related attitudes are strongly predictive of attitudes towards red flag laws–acceptance of scientific evidence that guns are “risky” and dangerous for civilians and principled rejection of gun control as a violation of the Second Amendment. Our results suggest that local circumstances (knowing someone who is a danger) can overwhelm macro-social attitude formation forces. We conclude by reviewing how firearm policy responses evolve, and how previously unpalatable options can become accepted by different groups such as legislators, law enforcement, registered voters and the general public.
"红旗 "法律允许政府在法官认为枪支所有者对自己或他人构成危险的情况下从某人手中夺走枪支。我们介绍了这些法律的演变过程，然后利用 "美国生活中的枪支调查"（Guns in American Life Survey，GALS）的数据提出并验证了一系列假设。"美国生活中的枪支调查 "是 2018 年底为调查民意而开展的一项全国性在线调查。调查结果显示，认为自己认识 "有问题 "的枪支所有者（如危险、严重精神疾病或患有痴呆症）的成年人往往更支持红旗法律，从而缓和了枪支文化熏陶的影响。GALS 显示，政治基础并不能决定受访者的观点。但是，有两组与枪支相关的态度对红旗法案的态度具有很强的预测性--接受枪支对平民具有 "风险 "和危险性的科学证据，以及原则上反对枪支管制，认为这违反了宪法第二修正案。我们的研究结果表明，当地环境（知道某人是危险人物）可以压倒宏观社会态度形成的力量。最后，我们回顾了枪支政策应对措施是如何演变的，以及以前难以接受的方案是如何被立法者、执法人员、登记选民和普通公众等不同群体所接受的。

This paper explores how social media discourses justify mob justice to fuel its perpetration in Africa. It asks, what discursive strategies and patterns rationalise mob justice in social media discussions? It relies on 319 mob-justice-related tweets between 2018 and 2022 across seven African countries to identify five main discursive strategies: normative discourses, exception discourses, discourses of slow or failed criminal justice system, culture of violence discourses and banter discourses. The findings contribute to our understanding of the form mob justice discourses take on social media to incite traditional mob justice on the continent. It recommends appropriate state-centred legal responses to inciting mob justice on social media while respecting citizens’ freedom of expression.
