In the USA, the modern street gang has been a significant feature of the urban landscape in various regions since around the 1950s and was found to be heavily dependent upon trends in rapid urbanization and immigration (Howell & Moore, 2010). A street gang is a variation on the traditional adolescent peer group, where most of its members engage in various violent or non-violent offending when compared to their demographically similar counterparts (Melde & Esbensen, 2013). Gang-related crime and non-gang-affiliated group crime are a worldwide phenomenon, the behavioral and psychological dynamics of which are similar (Hagedorn, 2005).

The primary aim of this thesis is to provide a meaningful exploration of interpersonal dynamics at work in MPR offences with a particular focus on those offences committed by two perpetrators (duos), the most commonly occurring type of MPR (DaSilva, Woodhams, & Harkins, 2012; Lambine, 2012). Better understanding has been sought here through the development of an exploratory offence progression model that attempts to synthesize two empirically supported offending theories: self-regulation and male peer support. Mixed methodological techniques were adopted, beginning with a quantitative study of police recorded MPR cases comparing duo, trio, and 4+ offending groups. This was followed by a qualitative study, focusing upon the possible role of male peer support in propagating atmospheres, dialogue, and b...

GAGV is partially derived from an American program, Gangs Resistance Education and Training (GREAT). Method: A qualitative process evaluation and randomized control trial (RCT) outcomes study were undertaken. Results: Findings indicate GAGV personnel were keen to enhance program fidelity and process implementation. The RCT did not demonstrate a statistically significant program effect. However, effect sizes (ESs) indicate the program was effective in reducing levels of gang membership and the frequency and variety of delinquency and violence in the short- and longer term. More robust evidence indicated GAGV also improved students’ attitudes toward police and reduced their adherence toward street code. Conclusions: The use of cohort- (not individual-) level data and missing data in the 1-year follow-up make it difficult to draw reliable and robust conclusions. However, results are encouraging. Several recommendations are suggested for GAGV, including curriculum design, regular evaluations, and expanding to include more schools. Limitations of this and similar evaluations also are discussed.

The authors discuss the research that scholars have conducted to illuminate the origins and extent of this controversial issue as well as what can be done to prevent it. Students and other interested readers learn about ...

There is modest research concerning the differences in self-regulatory offense pathways between specific types of sexual offenders relative to offense type, PCL scores, ethnic differences, and criminal histories. Comprehensive evaluations of 163 incarcerated adult sex offenders were coded to determine their offense pathway using Yates et al. (2009) coding scheme. Results supported the utility of the Self-Regulation Model in classifying sexual offenders and echoed the findings of previous research. Both child molester and rapists were found to exhibit approach pathways to offense, and Mixed Offenders were found to follow a predominantly approach-explicit pathway. Those with higher scores on the lifestyle/antisocial factor of the PCL were more likely to follow an approach-automatic pathway to offense.
