Across three experiments, participants provided prison sentence length recommendations for a violent or nonviolent criminal case vignette.

We predicted and found that participants exposed to criminogenic evidence recommended significantly shorter (up to one-third shorter) prison sentences than those exposed to deterrent evidence. Our predictions regarding the \"no-effect\" and \"no evidence\" conditions were partially supported. This pattern of results demonstrates clear public support for reducing criminogenic consequences of incarceration, but this support may be qualified by other competing punishment motivations.

Results indicated that relational aggression peaked at Time 1 and declined by Time 3. Additionally, the onset and rate of growth in relational aggression at both Time 1 and Time 3 were positively associated with distal adolescent outcomes, including alcohol use, physical aggression, and rule-breaking behaviors at Time 4. These findings suggest that, although relational aggression increased initially, these tendencies tended to decrease over time during adolescence.

Following the prior set eligibility criteria, the PRISMA guideline was used to identify, screen, and select the empirical studies. In this SLR, we have identified some prominent risk factors of RVE and categorized them into micro, meso, and macro level factors. At the micro level, age, gender, education, SES, psychopathological issues, personality and psychological traits, proviolence and hostile attitude, political-ideological beliefs, intolerance, conspiracy mentality, and moral disengagement, while at the meso level, family dysfunction, a post-conflict society, social isolation, harsh school environment, perceived intergroup threats, psychological needs, and low social support are considered to be key risk factors. At the macro level, collective strain, political conflict, strong religious and ethnic identity, and group-based relative deprivation significantly influence radicalization processes. The findings of the current SLR pointed toward multiple risk factors for the radicalization process.

Nevertheless, few studies have differentiated between traditional bullying and cyberbullying to examine how their interplay shapes distinct bullying involvement profiles and how these profiles link with well-being and mental health outcomes.

We identified five profiles: severe bully-victims, moderate bully-victims, victims, low-involved, and non-involved. The two bully-victim profiles showed greater transitions, whereas the non-involved profile was the most stable. Boys were at higher risk of the two bully-victim profiles, and older victims were less likely to remain purely victimized.
