One step forward, two steps back: Cyberbullying within social networking sitesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 30 Số 3 - Trang 844-858 - 2017
Navarro, Jordana N, Clevenger, Shelly, Beasley, Maddie E, Jackson, Lindsey K
Although public awareness of cyberbullying has increased, evidence suggests the social problem has not abated. While past studies have highlighted numerous factors that affect risks of experiencing cyberbullying in general, few studies have focused on identifying risk factors within social networking sites (SNS). Moreover, even fewer studies have utilized a theoretical perspective to frame and gro...... hiện toàn bộ

Security at U.S. airports has been a key priority since September 11, 2001. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was established shortly thereafter to oversee aviation security operations. However, there have been few rigorous evaluations of airport security strategies, and even less is known about how they are implemented in practice. As part of a larger study that used a “translation...... hiện toàn bộ

The national problem with the misuse of opioid pain relievers is fueled by overly lax and illegal overprescribing practices. In the state of Florida, so-called “pill mills” are clinics in which physicians prescribe opioids for non-existent or exaggerated pain, often with profit as a motivation, thus making such prescribing a criminal enterprise. This study draws from in-depth interviews with polic...... hiện toàn bộ

The aim was to examine the feasibility of opportunity-, deprivation- and market-value-based explanations for COT patterns. A total of 1039 incidents of COT recorded by the Nigerian Oil Producers’ Trade Section during 2012–2014 were analysed. The resu...... hiện toàn bộ
Boko Haram insurgency: a decade of dynamic evolution and struggle for a caliphateSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 33 - Trang 376-400 - 2020
J. Tochukwu Omenma, Ifeanyichukwu M. Abada, Z. Onyinyechi Omenma
Is Boko Haram consistently motivated by the need for a territorial caliphate? That is, the creation of the Community of Ummah rather than religion as their envisioned motivation. We seek to take this question seriously due to a series of studies that have started drawing conclusions on the territorial goal of most terrorist organisations. One of such body of literature focuses on the relationship ...... hiện toàn bộ
A configurative synthesis of evidence for fear in the criminal decision-making processSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 33 - Trang 583-601 - 2019
Paul Gill, Lisa Tompson, Zoe Marchment, Florian Hetzel, Sanaz Zolghadriha, Aiden Sidebottom
This paper reviews what previous research has found on the role of fear and other associated feelings in the criminal decision-making process, and the techniques that might plausibly amplify such emotions so as to reduce or disrupt intent. To this aim, we conduct a systematic review of the offender decision-making literature (23 studies), incorporating a qualitative synthesis of the role of fear i...... hiện toàn bộ
