Methods Five hundred and eighty adults were randomly assigned to view memes depicting sexual violence, domestic violence, or sexist/objectifying content. Participants rated humour, offensiveness, acceptability, resharing likelihood, and perceived commonness. Measures of rape myth acceptance (RMA), social dominance orientation, and personal cultural orientation were also assessed. Results Sexist/objectifying memes were rated as more humorous, acceptable, likely to be reshared and common than both violence categories, whereas offensiveness followed the ordering sexual violence, domestic violence and sexualised content. Rape myth acceptance moderated humour ratings across the exploratory interaction tests: the positive association between rape myth acceptance and humour was substantially steeper for sexualised content. Moderation of acceptability and resharing was less robust. Conclusions Rape-supportive beliefs play a central role in how misogynistic content is interpreted, evaluated, and potentially disseminated online. Participants distinguished clearly between forms of misogynistic content. The most reliable moderation finding indicated greater differentiation in humour ratings at higher rape myth acceptance.","PeriodicalId":47684,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental Criminology","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149221376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the widespread adoption of these platforms, limited research has examined whether enforcement alerts influence the speed of individual vehicles at an active enforcement site. This study addresses that gap using a real-world, quasi-experimental pre–post design to assess the impact of crowdsourced enforcement alerts on vehicle speed across multiple road environments in Queensland, Australia. Methods Vehicle speeds were measured using a ProLaser 4 speed detection device at 33 sites spanning various speed zones (40–100 km/h) and multiple road types including arterial, residential, commercial, highway, mixed, and active school zone environments. At each site, speeds were recorded during a baseline period before an enforcement alert appeared on Waze, and during a matched post-alert period of equal duration. Results Analysis of 9052 speed observations across 33 sites found a statistically significant reduction in speed relative to the posted limit following the appearance of enforcement alerts on the navigation apps (Before: M = 1.23 km/h, SD = 8.34; After: M = -3.92 km/h, SD = 7.77). Conclusions These findings highlight that crowdsourced enforcement alerts are a contemporary mechanism of technology-facilitated punishment avoidance and while suppressing speed at the point of detection, may erode the perceived certainty of apprehension and embolden offending across the wider road network over time. The practical implications of this study suggest that road policing in a digitally connected environment may benefit from shorter, more geographically dispersed deployments, with the appearance of an enforcement alert leveraged as a trigger to reposition enforcement, acting as a force multiplier for a finite enforcement resource.","PeriodicalId":47684,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental Criminology","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149093272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods A vignette survey experiment ( N = 1,904) with five conditions depicting different forms of police demeanor (business-like “neutral” conduct, varying levels of procedural justice and injustice, and favorable instrumental outcomes). Results Vulnerable narcissism was negatively associated with encounter outcomes (encounter-level legitimacy, satisfaction, willingness to obey and cooperate) across all but the procedural injustice condition, whereas grandiose narcissism was positively associated with outcomes in encounters involving procedural justice or a favorable instrumental outcome. Conclusions Personality traits may help explain why individuals respond differently to police conduct. The findings reinforce procedural justice as a general standard of conduct, while showing that it may not invariably generate an immediate favorable response. They also underscore the need to distinguish officer behavior from citizens’ interpretations when evaluating encounters.","PeriodicalId":47684,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental Criminology","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149123334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
