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.

This study examined the differences in spatial burglary patterns and their association with socio-environmental characteristics between publicly accessible crime data from Judicial Document Website (JDW) and police-recorded data with restricted access. We compared the spatial distribution of burglary incidents at the subdistrict level and applied a negative binomial regression to analyze differences in the relationship between burglary rates and socio-environment factors across the two datasets. JDW data accounted for approximately 10% of burglary cases documented by the police records. Compared to police records, JDW data quality had a minimal effect on spatial patterns, hotspot distribution, and the relationship between the burglary distribution and the explanatory variables. Our findings highlight that crime data quality plays an important role in revealing the spatial patterns of crime and their associations with socio-environmental characteristics. Further, this study also helps contextualize the criminology research using JDW data when that is the only option.

Focusing on JZ Province, China, the present study employs spatial analysis methods, including kernel density estimation, spatial autocorrelation, and Geodetector to explore the changes in the spatial and temporal patterns of theft crimes before and during COVID-19, as well as the spatial relationships between theft crimes and various factors concerning urban economic conditions and population dynamics. The results show that: (1) The pandemic significantly impacts theft rates, with an overall decrease of 27%. (2) Both before and during the pandemic, city centers and coastal regions experience the highest incidence of theft crimes. Theft crimes are mostly observed in economically prosperous and dynamic urban areas. The COVID-19 restrictions have a strong inhibitory effect on theft occurrences. (3) In both periods, government finances and regional economic conditions demonstrate strong explanatory power for theft crimes. A vibrant urban setting with more elderly and young people is positively correlated with theft activities.

Traditional crime linkage methods face challenges with complex datasets, arguably necessitating more sophisticated analytical tools. This research investigates this issue by exploring the application of machine learning, specifically the Random Forest algorithm, as a method to enhance crime linkage analysis of residential burglary cases.
Using a dataset of 200 pairs of linked residential burglaries from the United Kingdom, this study employs the Random Forest technique to examine 67 identified crime features, including those within categories related to inter-crime distance, temporal patterns, such as time and day of the week, target selection, entry behaviour, crime scene conduct, and property stolen.
The key objective is to identify and reduce predictive characteristics that reliably link burglaries, whilst potentially overcoming the limitations of conventional approaches. Findings generally support existing literature but provide increased nuance by indicating that certain factors specifically related to shorter inter-crime distances, the time and date of the offences, and the target's dwelling type, significantly contribute to accurately linking crimes. We discuss these findings in the context of existing research on the subject.
Finally, we consider the benefits of using this novel methodology as a tool for crime linking. We argue that the improved accuracy, interpretability, and provision of multiple decision trees offers significant advantages for refining crime linkage practices, both operationally and in criminological research.

Scholars have argued that otherwise law-abiding citizens who have “lapsed” and committed a crime deserve leniency. This is referred to as the lapse theory. The discussions, however, have mainly focused on the lack of previous criminal convictions. The purpose of this study is to expand on the lapse theory by testing the effects of other lapse-based factors besides criminal record on sentence outcomes. Drawing on sentencing decisions in England and Wales, lapse-based factors, namely the crime being an isolated incident, the defendant acting out of character, and first-time offenders, were found to have a mitigating effect on sentence outcomes on two types of offenses: assault and drug dealing. When culpability was controlled for, these factors still had a mitigating effect for defendants who had premeditated their assaults and drug dealers who were deemed to play a significant role. The implications for sentencing guidelines and future studies are also discussed.

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.
