Participants comprised 95 children with dyslexia and 109 controls. All participants completed the Gudjonsson Suggestibility Scale (GSS 2), which measures immediate and delayed suggestibility 1 week apart, five different Word Tasks, and a test of non-verbal intelligence. Overall, the findings indicate a nuanced relationship between dyslexia and different components of suggestibility as measured by the GSS 2. This relationship is substantially mediated by poor verbal recall and difficulties in identifying absurd or implausible story content. This represents a novel contribution to scientific literature. The implications for interview practice are significant: special caution is required when interviewing children with “pure” dyslexia, as the absence of co-morbid neurodevelopmental conditions does not preclude vulnerability during investigative interviewing or witness testimony.","PeriodicalId":47926,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences & the Law","volume":"44 4","pages":"559-570"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bsl.70061","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147785630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research has revealed that negative posttraumatic cognitive changes are a risk factor for the development and maintenance of posttraumatic stress disorder, yet little research has examined whether exonerees experience posttraumatic cognitive changes, such as changes to their worldview. Thus, this study aims to understand exonerees' self-reported life changes and worldview changes through the lens of the Shattered Assumptions Theory. Fifty-eight exonerees answered four open-ended questions about changes they experienced following their wrongful conviction, including changes to their worldview. Thematic analysis was used to identify themes. Exonerees reported a variety of positive (42.8%) and negative (78.5%) life changes, including changes to their worldview. The most commonly reported negative worldview changes included loss of faith in the legal system, people, and authority figures. Positive worldview changes included strengthened religious faith, learning that people are willing to help, and learning to control one's attitude and focus on the positive. Results identified commonly reported worldview changes in exonerees, many of which are consistent with the Shattered Assumptions Theory. These findings from the largest qualitative sample of exonerees provides preliminary evidence for areas to be targeted in cognitive therapy in exonerees.","PeriodicalId":47926,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences & the Law","volume":"44 4","pages":"694-708"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bsl.70069","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148057445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using structural equation modeling with data from 1329 Taiwanese adolescents living in poverty and receiving social assistance, the study found that the quality of social relationships with family members, teachers, and peers significantly mediated the association between material deprivation and substance use. The family–adolescent relationship quality significantly mediated the association between material deprivation and psychological distress, while the quality of peer and teacher–student relationships did not. The mediating mechanisms of social relationships are similar across different age subgroups and sexes. This study informs practices addressing psychological distress and substance use issues via family and relational pathways.","PeriodicalId":47926,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences & the Law","volume":"44 4","pages":"519-530"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bsl.70058","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147505208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, compared with the substantial body of research on the direct effect of strain on deviance, empirical evidence for its mediating and moderating mechanisms remains limited and inconsistent, particularly in non-Western contexts. This gap constrains both the cross-cultural generalizability of GST and its capacity to account for the full spectrum of deviant behaviors. Drawing on retrospective single-wave self-report data from 4497 participants in a Chinese college student sample, this study examined the interrelationships among strain, negative emotion, social bonds, deviant peers, and aggression. The findings indicate that negative emotion fully mediated the relationship between strain and aggression. Social bonds buffered the effect of strain on negative emotion, but strengthened the effect of negative emotion on aggression, with the belief dimension emerging as the key factor underlying this divergence. Deviant peers also significantly intensified the effect of strain on negative emotion. These findings underscore the importance of reducing negative emotional responses and clarifying the mechanisms through which social bonds and deviant peers shape the process by which strain is translated into aggression.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47926,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences & the Law","volume":"44 4","pages":"531-544"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147730404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis through the lens of the Terrorist Radicalization Assessment Protocol (TRAP-18) finds that 72% of the warning indicators were present, including four proximal warning behaviors suggesting high or imminent risk for a targeted attack: pathway, identification, last resort, and energy burst. The case also illustrates the impact of this attack on subsequent violent events through forensic linguistic analysis of Terrorgram and other lone actors' communications. The discussion focuses upon mitigation of such lone-actor violence, including the implementation of behavioral threat assessment and management (BTAM) teams, the use of structured professional judgment instruments (SPJ) to assess risk, the simultaneous and continuous monitoring of both online and on-the-ground activity of the person of concern, the location and speed of movement on the pathway to violence, and disaggregation of the motivation, risk and potential outcome in the case through scenario planning and dynamic management.

Fitness to stand trial (FST) is an important safeguard for ensuring fair trial processes. This retrospective chart review examined the demographic, clinical, and legal profiles of 159 court-referred individuals assessed for FST at a major tertiary forensic psychiatry centre in New Delhi (India) between January 2017 and December 2022. Data on sociodemographic variables, ICD-10 diagnoses, current mental status, alleged offences, and FST outcomes were analysed using chi-square/Fisher's exact tests and multivariate logistic regression. The sample was predominantly male (81.1%) with a mean age of 37.9 years (SD 14.2). Psychotic disorders were the most frequent diagnosis (35.2%), followed by bipolar affective disorder and intellectual disability. Violent offences constituted 62.9% of alleged crimes. Overall, 54.7% were found fit to stand trial. Active psychiatric symptoms (adjusted OR 47.2, 95% CI 6.1-365.3) and organic mental disorder or intellectual disability (adjusted OR 22.5, 95% CI 4.8-105.6) independently predicted unfitness. Active psychopathology and cognitive impairment were the strongest determinants of unfitness, highlighting the need for structured assessment tools and restoration programmes under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023.","PeriodicalId":47926,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences & the Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148593951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
