TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the relation between age and cyberbullying victimization and perpetration is presented, focusing on age variations in technology use, prevalence of cyber bullying involvement, risk and protective factors, and outcomes.

TL;DR: Workplace bullying is now a phenomenon of global interest, new topics are steadily emerging within the field, and the methodological quality of the studies has become more sophisticated as mentioned in this paper, building on findings from the ever increasing number of systematic reviews and meta-analyses in this field.

TL;DR: With the help of combined effort from the government, the Internet Service Providers and online social networks, the proper policies can be framed to counter both hate speech and terrorism efficiently and effectively.

TL;DR: A systematic review of empirical academic papers on cyberbullying in the adult population is presented in this article, where the authors identified 3986 references that, in successive steps, were reduced to 90 studies published between 2004 and 2016 that met the inclusion criteria.

TL;DR: In this article, a longitudinal literature review focused on longitudinal literature investigating the relation between school climate and problem behavior to determine if the two are correlated over time. But, they found that there was no significant correlation between the two.

TL;DR: Examination of research regarding PTSD in police officers, firefighters, and emergency dispatchers with particular attention to the prevalence, comorbid diagnoses, risk and protective factors, and resources available to each group is offered.

TL;DR: A review of the literature on hostile attributions and aggressive behavior in children and adolescents under consideration of aggression subtypes and the influence of gender is presented in this paper. But no clear gender differences in association strength were found.

TL;DR: A review of the literature from 1990 to 2016 revealed at least 17 different terms representing the digital dating abuse construct, 22 instruments measuring the phenomenon of which 16 were included in this review, and few clearly defined constructs as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a sociocultural theoretical framework for school bullying has been developed, with a focus on the relational aspects of bullying and bullying as part of someone's life trajectory.

TL;DR: The authors evaluates the most influential current approaches to the mechanisms of radicalisation on the basis of their empirical evidence and calls for a focus on research designs capable of arbitrating on matters of causality, not just correlation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that adolescents are more vulnerable than adults because they lack maturity with respect to capacities such as thrill seeking, impulse control, peer pressure, reward sensitivity, cognitive processing, rational decision-making and long-term planning.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors integrate the vast research literatures on non-consenting adult and on child pornography by using the framework of the Confluence Model of sexual aggression, and conclude that pornography use may add to the risk of aggression only for those men already predisposed to aggress sexually due to more primary causes than pornography use.

TL;DR: In this paper, the power of family and community-related factors in predicting the perpetration and victimization of DV and to determine the strongest risk factors using a meta-analysis was identified.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the effect of interventions on men at high risk for sexual aggression, who presumably are a key target of such interventions and find that interventions can actually have the opposite of the intended effects for high risk college males.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a systematic search of relevant Psychology and Social Science databases in order to collate cross-sectional and longitudinal research on the association between rape myth acceptance and self-reported sexual violence, and found that acceptance differentiates non-perpetrators from those who go on to exhibit sexual violence behaviours.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed and synthesized empirical studies that explored socio-cultural risk factors of DV among SA immigrant women in English speaking countries, including lack of social support, low acculturation, high enculturation and patriarchal beliefs, economic control by the husband, traditional gender role attitudes, and stigma about divorce.

TL;DR: This paper found that a significant predictor of leakage is the presence of a grievance, specifically a grievance against a person or entity, as opposed to a category of people or an idea, movement or religion.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review explored teachers' perceptions and responses towards cyberbullying in the education system and identified five common themes: cyber bullying characteristics and student involvement, cyber bullying training and guidance for teachers, school commitment and strategies to manage cyber bullying, the impact and extent of cyber bullying prevalence and consequences, and teachers' confidence and concern towards cyber bullying.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the associations between men's perpetration of sexual violence and their sexual partners, condom use, and sexually transmitted infection status, as well as provides recommendations for future research directions and prevention and intervention programming.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the theoretical application of the Good Lives Model (GLM) to the rehabilitation of youth offenders, and argued that as a rehabilitation framework the GLM has the flexibility and breadth to accommodate the variety of risk factors and complex needs youth offenders present with, and also provides a natural fit with a dynamic systems (e.g., family and educational systems) framework, and evidence based interventions in the youth offender field.

TL;DR: This paper conducted a comprehensive systematic review of the extant literature (1988 to 2016) and revealed only 37 studies in 28 journals (49,581 educators and 91,099 students) on educator safety and victimization.

TL;DR: For example, the authors found that both males and females higher in psychopathy show similar deficits in emotional modulation of the startle reflex, but females do not display some of the emotional processing deficits to the same extent as males higher in psychopathic traits.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the ways in which male sexual victimisation is socially and culturally constructed in the public space of compulsory heterosexuality and explore how rape against men is constructed and socially defined in public territory where homosexuality is often marginal, excluded and stigmatised.

TL;DR: In this article, the Multi-Mechanism Theory of Cognitive Distortion (MMT-CD) is proposed to explain sexual offending behavior in males, which is based on the concept of motivated cognition and the effects of visceral factors.

TL;DR: The authors reviewed studies on the prevalence of the bullying participant roles in adolescence and the social status and behaviors associated with them and discussed practical implications for anti-bullying programs in secondary school and provide suggestions for further research.

TL;DR: The authors argued that the existing inconsistency in requiring intentionality and power differentials when assessing bullying is a problem for the field, and explored challenges in validly ensuring intentional and power differential are present when assessing the bullying.

TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis aimed to extend previous work on the maltreatment-antisocial relation by focusing on prospective longitudinal studies that have followed-up participants into adulthood and revealed that maltreated youth are nearly two times as likely to engage in antisocial behaviors in adulthood compared with their non-maltreated peers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the research evidence from existing communication skills training programs that are exclusively or partly focused on the reduction of aggression perpetrated by patients and found that good communication helps the patient become an active partner in the process.

TL;DR: In this article, two separate meta-analyses were conducted to examine the effects of training programs on the behaviour of direct care staff working with clients with ID who present challenging behaviour problems (predominantly aggressive and violent behaviour).
