Changes in violent extremist attitudes during the transition from adolescence to young adulthood
From previous research it was unclear how violent extremist attitudes change over the life-course and which factors are related to these changes. The reason was that there was a lack of studies in which people and their political attitudes are followed over time.

Veranderingen in gewelddadige extremistische houdingen tijdens de overgang van adolescentie naar jongvolwassenheid
Uit eerder onderzoek werd nog niet duidelijk hoe opvattingen over gewelddadig extremisme veranderen over de levensloop en welke factoren hiermee verband houden.

In Understanding changes in violent extremist attitudes during the transition […]
Kind dat opgroeit binnen georganiseerde misdaad belandt vaker in criminaliteit
Kinderen lijken op allerlei manieren op hun ouders. Onderzoek laat zien dat verschillende kenmerken en gedragingen van generatie op generatie worden overgedragen, zoals sociaaleconomische status, opleidingsniveau en opvoedingsgedrag. Deze zogenaamde intergenerationele continuïteit geldt ook voor antisociaal gedrag: verschillende studies laten een substantieel risico zien op de overdracht van crimineel gedrag van ouders naar hun kinderen.

Uncovering the dark figure of wildlife crimes in Olifants West Nature Reserve
Law enforcement rangers need to know where and when crime occurs to effectively design strategies for reducing poaching. Although crime is generally hard to measure, obtaining a representative sample is particularly challenging for wildlife crimes. The vast majority of wildlife crimes are probably never known to anyone other than the offenders involved in the crime. […]
Onderzoek vóór en ná detentie: slechte lichamelijke en psychische gezondheid bij gedetineerden
Mensen met een slechte gezondheid zijn oververtegenwoordigd in penitentiaire inrichtingen. In vergelijking met de algemene bevolking ervaren gedetineerden meer lichamelijke problemen, zoals infectieziekten en chronische aandoeningen, en meer psychische problemen, zoals depressie, verslavingsproblematiek en persoonlijkheidsstoornissen. Tot nu toe was het onduidelijk in hoeverre gedetineerden al voorafgaand aan hun detentieperiode in een slechte gezondheid verkeren of […]
