Research suggests that a cultural context of sexist victim-blaming, as well as the adolescent's gender, influences the social perception of APV. This study analyzes the impact of two variables on victim-blaming: hostile sexism and the belief that violence is the result of poor parenting, exploring whether it varies according to the adolescent's gender. 556 participants were assigned to one of two conditions, one involving a daughter and the other involving a son. Results show that victim-blaming was higher for scenarios involving a daughter. Linear regressions indicated that victim blaming can be explained by hostile sexist attitudes and by the belief that violence results from poor parenting, which jointly explain 13% of the variance for cases involving a son and 32% for cases involving a daughter.

The results suggest a significant cultural shift toward actively open-minded interviewing characterised by systematic efforts to seek and test alternative explanations. However, a possible implementation gap was identified. Although officers rated KREATIV principles as highly important, they reported concerns with planning and post-interview evaluation, contending that perceived time pressures, resource constraints, and variable leadership support inhibited full implementation of KREATIV. Notably, greater professional experience was associated with stronger endorsement of KREATIV principles but more critical self-assessment of implementation success, suggesting a possible experience paradox.

This study investigates associations between grandiose and vulnerable narcissism and three forms of CPV—verbal aggression, coercive behaviour, and physical aggression—in a large community sample of Swedish adolescents. Gender-stratified logistic regression models were estimated, adjusting for individual and family-related factors. Vulnerable narcissism showed consistent associations with CPV, especially among girls, where effects remained significant across all CPV forms after adjustment. Grandiose narcissism showed weak or no associations once vulnerability was controlled for. The findings suggest that CPV may be more closely linked to the emotional insecurity and sensitivity to ego threat that characterise vulnerable narcissism, and that both dimensions warrant attention in future research.</p>","PeriodicalId":46397,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Investigative Psychology and Offender Profiling","volume":"23 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jip.70025","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148615707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A critical literature review was carried out, and it was found that the symptoms of BPD may have a significant impact on the acquisition of admissible information during CFIs, and more specifically the relational qualities of the PCA.

Drawing on social-psychological research on norm inhibition and spillover, the article applies CNIE to suspect interviewing across adversarial, inquisitorial, hybrid, and human-rights–based legal systems. Using a conceptual-illustrative methodology, it analyzes recent high-court decisions across legal cultures to examine how judicial responses may contain, amplify, or reverse CNIE cascades, suggesting that CNIE functions as a conditional risk amplifier rather than a deterministic process. Weak safeguards and confession dominance may increase vulnerability to cascading distortions, whereas transparency, redundancy, and consistent judicial oversight may generate reinforcing compliance dynamics.
