Researchers have indicated that community notification does not significantly reduce recidivism among JSOs. Instead, notification leads to stigmatization, social isolation, and school problems for JSOs. Consequently, it is critical to explore the factors driving public support for community notification for JSOs. Scholars argue that public support of notification is attributed to misperceptions about people who have sexually offended (PSOs). However, studies exploring a direct association between misperceptions about PSOs and the support of community notification for JSOs in non-Western contexts are scarce. This study analyzed data from 2322 survey respondents in South Korea, finding that a majority (75%) supported community notifications for JSOs. More importantly, a regression analysis revealed three significant misperceptions among Korean citizens that correlate with support for community notification regarding JSOs: the belief that PSOs are likely to reoffend, suffer from mental illness, and spontaneously commit offenses without premeditation. Therefore, these findings underscore the necessity of educating both citizens and policymakers to eradicate these misperceptions, suggesting that the use of notification for JSOs should be reconsidered in South Korea and other countries.\u0000</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45526,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Criminology","volume":"19 3","pages":"353 - 372"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141657604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is because these databases rarely contain labels that could be used to automatically retrieve all cybercrime incidents. In this article, we present a supervised machine learning method for extracting cybercrime incidents in calls for police service datasets. Data from the Korean National Police (2020, 9 months, <i>N</i> = 15 million call logs) is used for the demonstration. We combined methods of keyword query selection, minority oversampling, and majority voting techniques to develop a classifier. Three classification techniques, including Naïve Bayes, linear SVM, and kernel SVM, were tested, and the kernel model was chosen to build the final model (accuracy, 93.4%; F1-score, 92.4). We estimate that cybercrime only represents 4.6% of the cases in the selected dataset (excluding traffic-related incidents), but that it can be prevalent with some crime types. We found, for example, that about three quarters (76%) of all fraud incidents have a cyber dimension. We conclude that the cybercrime classification method proposed in this study can support further research on cybercrime and that it offers considerable advantages over manual or keyword-based approaches.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45526,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Criminology","volume":"19 3","pages":"329 - 351"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11417-024-09432-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141676247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Good Lives Model (GLM) and risk need responsivity (RNR) are the most influential frameworks used to support offender rehabilitation. However, the GLM has had a negligible impact on practice in Japan despite its importance being broadly understood. We conducted this preliminary study using two surveys—one with 133 inmates and one with 133 members of the general public—to assess the GLM’s applicability in Japan. The following questions were used with both groups: To what extent do the Japanese people pursue primary human goods (PHGs), and how does that differ between the general population and prison inmates? Has attaining PHGs been more difficult for prison inmates compared to the general population? The responses were analysed after adjusting for demographic data. The findings indicate that (1) in Japan, both inmates and the general public pursued PHGs, although the importance of all PHGs was significantly higher for inmates; (2) prison inmates had significantly greater difficulty than the general public in attaining certain PHGs in the past; and (3) the importance of future PHGs was significantly higher for all PHGs for inmates than for the general public. These results suggested that the premise of the GLM is relevant in Japan.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45526,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Criminology","volume":"19 2","pages":"225 - 237"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141100155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
