While recen years have witnessed an exponential growth in new empirical studies on the neurobiology of aggression and violence, there is an urgent need for comprehensive and critical syntheses of this burgeoning body of research. This special edition aims to meet that need with high-quality reviews on the biological basis of violence. Areas covered included genetics, neurochemistry, neurocognition, brain imaging, psychophysiology, and clinical issues. By incorporating neurobiological advances into current psychosocial knowledge and developing transactional models of the development of aggression, there is a genuine interdisciplinary opportunity to provide a transformative change to the landscape of violence prevention.

Dehumanization refers to perceiving people as less than fully human and is theoretically argued to contribute to aggression. Till now, a large body of empirical studies have been conducted to test this link directly or indirectly. The current research is to conduct a systematic meta-analysis to obtain a precise estimation of this relationship. More importantly, we aim to examine whether this relationship is further subject to moderators capturing two prominent theories, including the form (i.e., blatant versus subtle, the blatant dehumanization theory) and the type (i.e., animalistic versus mechanical, the dual model) of dehumanization. Based on a total of 184 effect sizes (32 published and non-published papers). The meta-analysis found a moderate overall effect for the association between dehumanization and aggression (r = 0.34, 95 % CI = [0.28, 0.41]). In addition, the association was larger for blatant, compared to subtle (r = 0.39, 95 % CI = [0.30, 0.49] versus r = 0.31, 95 % CI = [0.23, 0.39]) dehumanization, and more robust for dehumanization in both types (animalistic & mechanic, r = 0.38, 95 % CI = [0.24, 0.52]), compared to a single type (animalistic, r = 0.26, 95 % CI = [0.14, 0.37] or mechanic, r = 0.27, 95 % CI = [0.15, 0.40]). Implications have been discussed.
去人性化指的是认为人们不是完全的人，理论上认为这有助于侵略。到目前为止，已经有大量的实证研究直接或间接地检验了这种联系。目前的研究是进行系统的荟萃分析，以获得对这种关系的精确估计。更重要的是，我们的目标是研究这种关系是否进一步受到两种主要理论的影响，包括非人性化的形式（即公然与微妙，公然的非人性化理论）和类型（即动物主义与机械主义，双重模型）。基于184个效应量（32篇已发表和未发表的论文）。荟萃分析发现，去人性化与攻击之间存在中等总体效应（r = 0.34, 95% CI =[0.28, 0.41]）。此外，与微妙的非人性化相比，公然的非人性化更大（r = 0.39, 95% CI = [0.30, 0.49], r = 0.31, 95% CI =[0.23, 0.39]），并且两种类型的非人性化(动物性和amp；机械师,r = 0.38, 95% CI =[0.24, 0.52]),相比单一类型(肉欲的,r = 0.26, 95% CI =[0.14, 0.37]或技师,r = 0.27, 95% CI =[0.15, 0.40])。已经讨论了影响。

In order to inform effective treatment interventions and subsequently contribute to decreases in recidivism rates, a better understanding of the key antecedents of offending behaviour is needed. Person-centred approaches that account for individual differences in offending behaviour, including personality traits, hold promise for such tailored treatment interventions. This systematic review therefore critically appraises the extant literature regarding the relationships between Five-Factor Model and Dark Triad personality traits and adult offending behaviour. Following PRISMA screening, 58 papers (two dissertations; 56 journal articles) were identified for inclusion. With the exception of psychopathy, the extent and direction of associations between personality traits and offending behaviour varied considerably. Studies were characterised by a broad range of methodologies, sample types and sizes, geographical locations, traits measured, and operationalisations of offending behaviour; these inconsistencies may have contributed to the discrepant findings. Recommendations are made for future studies, including the use of control variables; effect sizes; objective records of offending behaviour; and personality trait profiles, encompassing adaptive and maladaptive traits. The review concludes with a call for a more methodologically robust research agenda to further our understanding of the relationships between personality traits and offending behaviour towards the development of effective person-centred interventions.

Globally, the rate of domestic violence and abuse (DVA) experienced by the female prison population is estimated to be high. This review explored the evidence on interventions for women with experience of DVA in prison and post-release during the resettlement period. The databases Web of Science, Scopus, ProQuest (Social Sciences Premium Collection) and several secondary databases were searched and supplemented with additional searching techniques (hand and citation searching, along with a search for grey literature). A total of 11 studies were included in the review. The main themes are: underpinning theory; design and delivery of interventions; positive impacts to mental health and emotional well-being; impact to social connectedness; improved knowledge about DVA; improved parenting knowledge; support in prisons outside of interventions; and post-prison and resettlement. Overall, the review found a dearth of rigorous evidence with only two studies which addressed the post-release period.
在全球范围内，女性监狱人口遭受家庭暴力和虐待的比率估计很高。本综述探讨了在重新安置期间对有过DVA经历的妇女进行干预的证据。检索了Web of Science、Scopus、ProQuest（社会科学精选集）和几个二级数据库，并用额外的检索技术（手工检索和引文检索，以及灰色文献检索）进行了补充。本综述共纳入了11项研究。主要主题是：基础理论；干预措施的设计和实施；对心理健康和情绪健康的积极影响；对社会联系的影响；提高对DVA的认识；提高育儿知识；干预措施之外的监狱支持；出狱后和重新安置。总的来说，审查发现缺乏严格的证据，只有两项研究涉及释放后时期。

Although traditional- and cyber-bullying perpetration share similar features, they are also distinguishable and may result in differing impacts on marijuana use among young people. Hence, the current systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to collectively examine the association between bullying perpetrations and young people's marijuana use and to compare their effect sizes. Of the 22 studies included, 33.3 % used a standardized tool for traditional bullying, 33.3 % for cyberbullying, and 9 % for marijuana use. About 36 % estimated the prevalence of marijuana use during the past 30 days, and 63 % measured bullying perpetration without a specified type. Of the 20 studies that examined the association between traditional bullying perpetration and marijuana use, 85.0 % reported a positive association, 10.0 % found no significant relationship, and 5.0 % indicated a negative association. Additionally, all five studies that examined the relationship between cyberbullying perpetration and marijuana use confirmed a significant positive association. The meta-analyses revealed that both traditional bullying and cyberbullying perpetration had an overall effect on marijuana use among young people with the pooled effect sizes at 0.902 and 1.245, respectively, but the effect size for cyberbullying perpetration was larger than traditional bullying perpetration. Comparing these two effect sizes, the strength of association was stronger for cyberbullying perpetration and marijuana use than for traditional bullying perpetration. These findings may reflect a shift in bullying trend from offline to online setting and highlight the potential role of problematic internet use. To address these interconnected issues, the study recommends an integrated, developmentally sensitive intervention model delivered through online platforms.

An increasing number of studies have documented the heterogeneous nature of dating violence among youth using person-centered approaches. These studies have identified distinct subgroups of individuals who share similarities in their experiences with different forms of dating violence. Identifying dating violence classes is an essential first step for informing prevention and to guide future research. The current systematic review aimed to examine and synthesize the literature on person-centered approaches on dating violence among adolescents and young adults as well as to identify sex or gender differences. Five databases were searched to identify peer-reviewed studies (2000−2022) and theses (2015–2022) written in French, English, or Spanish, with participants aged 11 to 25. Only studies using latent class or latent profile analyses on dating violence victimization and/or perpetration (psychological, physical, and/or sexual) with at least two forms of violence were included. Drawn from 22 studies, findings highlight four typical classes of dating violence: a little or no involvement class (the largest class), a psychological violence class (typically the second largest class), a psychological and physical violence class and a multiple forms of violence class. Results on sex or gender differences are mixed. Similar numbers of classes were generally identified for boys and girls, although two studies found a greater number of classes for girls. Variations in the operationalization of dating violence limit result comparability. Nonetheless, results highlight that prevention should focus on psychological violence, as nearly all individuals involved in dating violence are involved in this form of violence.

Sexual exploitation and abuse of children and women is an increasing public health concern in Ghana. Law enforcement interventions play a key role in preventing and respond to this form of violence. However, there is a lack of evidence about how, why, for whom, under what context law enforcement interventions work to prevent and respond to sexual exploitation and abuse of children and women in a Ghanian context. To address this evidence gap, a realist review was conducted.
A workshop with 20 participants from various institutions involved in law enforcement interventions focusing on sexual exploitation and abuse of children and women prevention and response was conducted to develop an initial program theory. A comprehensive literature search in seven databases from January 1st, 2011 to January 31st, 2023 was conducted to test and refine the initial program theory. The initial Context-Mechanism-Outcome (CMO) configurations were consolidated through triangulation, and thematic analysis was conducted to identify key contextual, mechanism, and outcome factors, which were then integrated into the final program theory.
Thirteen studies were included to refine the initial program theory, including four CMO configurations: coordination and planning, law enforcement protocols, proactive investigations, and awareness raising. The review provides insights into mechanisms guiding law enforcement interventions, emphasizing their role in both reacting to and addressing the root causes of sexual exploitation and abuse of children and women.

Obstetric violence is the inhumane, disrespectful, or negligent mistreatment of pregnant or postpartum women during professional care, which can damage the physical and mental health of both mother and baby. The aim of this study was to systematically summarize the worldwide evidence on the prevalence of obstetric violence during childbirth, assess the quality of studies, and explain differences in prevalence rates between studies. To access the studies, the English database of the PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and the Cochrane Central Registry were searched for the period between January 2012 and September 2023. Preferential Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed in reporting the research. Thirty-five studies involving 75,859 women were included in the meta-analysis after searching through different databases. We constructed a prevalence analysis of obstetric violence during labor using a random effects model. The prevalence of obstetric violence during labor ranged from 5.6 % to 91.7 %, while the pooled prevalence rate of obstetric violence during labor was 50.8 % (95 % CI: 44.9–56.7 %). By region, prevalence was highest in Africa 64.7 % (95 % CI: 53.9–74.2 %), followed by the Eastern Mediterranean 50.9 % (95 % CI: 41.5–60.2 %), while the lowest was in the Americas at 33.2 % (95 % CI: 26.2–40.9 %). Thus, women are commonly exposed to obstetric violence during childbirth although there are geographical variations in its prevalence. Given the sensitive nature and importance of pregnancy, screening for violence during pregnancy is necessary to improve maternal and child health. This alarming rate of obstetric violence calls for the adoption of upstream policies and interventions to reduce it.

The significant relationship between cyberbullying and depression has attracted research attention; however, most previous meta-analyses have been cross-sectional and focused on youth. This study used a meta-analytic framework to examine the longitudinal effects between cyberbullying and depression in the general population (including children, adolescents, and adults). The moderating factors that influence these effects were also studied. A total of 35 longitudinal studies that examined the relationship between cyberbullying and depression were included. Results supported a bidirectional relationship between cyberbullying (perpetration and victimization) and depression with small effects for both: cyberbullying perpetration to depression, rcp→d = 0.148 and depression to cyberbullying perpetration, rd→cp = 0.182; cyberbullying victimization to depression, rcv→d = 0.246 and depression to cyberbullying victimization, rd→cv = 0.229. Additional moderator analyses took into account age, sex, and study interval (months). The relationship from cyberbullying victimization to depression and the relationship from depression to cyberbullying victimization was significantly moderated by age, but not by sex and study interval. Implications for interventions to reduce the risk of cyberbullying and depression are discussed.

The link between intimate partner abuse (IPA) and violent extremism has become an area of media and policy interest – sparked both by newly emerging extremes (e.g., Involuntary Celibates; incels) and high-profile attacks where the offender had previously perpetrated IPA. These developments blur the boundaries between forms of violence traditionally treated in silos of public and private (domestic) violence. However, while IPA has been observed as present in the backgrounds of a range of violent offenders, including extremists, it is important for the risk assessment and management of both to understand if and how IPA is relevant to violent extre risk. To unpack this relationship, we apply psychometric network analysis to survey responses from a sample of men from the UK general population. A series of network graphs visualise how IPA perpetration, attitudes towards violence against women, attitudes towards violence, exposure to violent extremism, and violent extremist attitudes and intentions relate to one another. Our findings suggest that IPA may be an observable (although admittedly crude) indicator of the types of attitudes which underpin both types of violence, and that exposure to violent extremism may, in part, explain the blurring of boundaries increasingly observed in practice. We introduce a number of protective factors into the models to visualise how they might mitigate risk, to inform the design and delivery of risk management in this space.
