Delphi 1 (2021) recruited an international panel comprising specialist practitioners, parents with lived experience, and respondents reporting both forms of expertise. Delphi 2 (2025) recruited practitioners working within a single local authority in the north-east of England and was supported by an advisory group to inform local relevance and interpretation. Both studies used three sequential questionnaires (Round 1 open-ended item generation; Rounds 2–3 structured statement rating with controlled feedback). Delphi 1 included 31 respondents in Round 1, 46 in Round 2, and 40 in Round 3; Delphi 2 included 13 respondents in Rounds 1–2 and nine in Round 3. Agreement was summarised using percentage agreement/disagreement, median, and interquartile range.Across both panels, consensus emphasised non-stigmatising, child-centred and relational practice; caution against routine use of adult domestic abuse/perpetrator frameworks; clearer and more accessible referral pathways; and the importance of timely, developmentally informed support. The findings offer consensus-based practice principles which can inform service development and guidance while recognising the heterogeneity of CAPVA presentations and the need for flexible, tiered responses.

Studies have examined factors affecting the development of this offence, but there is a lack of understanding regarding the role of demographics in the development of larceny offences. The present study examines the role of demographic variables (social support, educational background, residential background, and socio-economic status) in the development of larceny offense incarcerated in various Central prisons in India. Data were collected from convicted offenders aged 21–40 years under IPC Sections 378 and 379 through convenient sampling. The role of social support was examined in the context of residential background and education using an independent sample <i>t</i>-test. The association between social support and socio-economic status was analysed using Chi-square test. The findings indicate that a majority of the offenders come from urban areas (63.0%) and are illiterate (74.1%). Urban offenders reported extremely low social support (49.4%) compared to rural offenders (38%). Illiteracy was associated with lower social support, with 42% of illiterate offenders reporting extremely low social support. However, no significant association between social support levels and socio-economic status was found. No significant difference was observed in social support based on residence or education. These findings suggest that socio-economic and educational disparities play an important role in the background of larceny offenders; however, these factors do not significantly influence variations in perceived social support levels.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":46397,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Investigative Psychology and Offender Profiling","volume":"23 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148078677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated whether problematic social media use and problematic gaming were associated with CPV in a school-based sample of Swedish adolescents and young adults. In bivariate analyses, both PIU domains showed dose-response associations with verbal aggression, coercive behaviour, and physical violence toward mothers and fathers. In stepwise multivariable models predicting any abuse toward either parent, the associations were attenuated after adjustment for demographic, individual and family-related risk factors. Girls reported more problematic social media use and boys more problematic gaming, but the pattern of associations did not differ by gender. Overall, PIU may be better understood as an indicator of broader psychosocial and family risk than as a strong independent driver of CPV, although conflicts around internet use may still contribute to escalation in some families.</p>","PeriodicalId":46397,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Investigative Psychology and Offender Profiling","volume":"23 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jip.70014","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147667991","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}
