While most existing studies focus on individual-level factors such as income, age, and education, they often overlook the broader social, cultural, and relational contexts that influence male victimization. This study addresses this gap by examining DVAM through the Social Ecological Model (SEM), which analyses the interplay of individual, relational, and community-level dynamics. A mixed-methods approach combined quantitative data from 133 male victims with qualitative data from focus group discussions and key informant interviews. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified significant associations between age disparities, income differences, and power dynamics with psychological, sexual, and financial violence (<em>p</em> < 0.05). Men significantly older than their partners were more likely to experience sexual violence, while men who earned more than their partners faced increased risks of sexual and psychological abuse. The SEM analysis revealed how patriarchal norms and community-level stigma discourage male victims from seeking help, perpetuating cycles of abuse. The study concludes that DVAM in Kigamboni Municipality is driven by entrenched cultural norms and relational conflicts stemming from financial and power imbalances. It recommends gender-neutral legal reforms by the Parliament and Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, community awareness campaigns to reduce stigma led by NGOs and community leaders. These interventions aim to challenge harmful norms, empower male victims, and provide practical solutions for recovery and prevention.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48272,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Criminal Justice","volume":"98 ","pages":"Article 102412"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143918114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study employed the NLSY-97 – a nationally representative sample – and survival models to assess if incarcerating juveniles in adult facilities is associated with time until CJS involvement during adulthood—a proxy for a criminogenic effect. The statistical models control for criminal risk factors that could contribute to a heightened likelihood of recidivism. The findings suggested that juvenile incarceration in an adult facility resulted in a 89% decrease in months until first incarceration after the age of 18 when compared to juveniles not involved in the juvenile justice system as well as juveniles arrested before the age of 18 but not bound over to adult court.

Data come from agency records from a large Northeastern state correctional system and include approximately 4000 incarcerated men. Group-based trajectory modeling is used to assess groups of incarcerated persons based on visitation patterns in the year preceding release. Relationships between (a) group membership and in-custody infractions and (b) group membership and parole violations (new offense and technical violations) are explored via bivariate and multivariate logistic regression. Equality of coefficients tests examine whether visit patterns pose congruent effects across contexts. Findings demonstrate negative relationships between high-rate visit patterns and misconduct and parole violations. Patterns display a non-linear relationship. Importantly, visit patterns pose general congruency across custodial and post-release contexts and behaviors.

This study examines the prevalence and correlates of victim-offender overlap using data from two collections of the National Survey of Youth in Custody conducted in 2008–2009 and 2012. Our findings reveal that the victim-offender overlap group constitutes a significant proportion of incarcerated youth. Multinomial logistic regression analysis indicates that institutional factors, such as correctional officer legitimacy, in-facility gang membership, fear of inmate assault, experience of filing complaints against staff, and time served, significantly differentiate victim-offenders from the three other groups: victims-only, offenders-only, and those not involved. The results lend support to the relevance of the deprivation model in understanding institutional violence, particularly when viewed through the lens of victim-offender overlap. They also suggest that correctional environments may contribute to the perpetuation of violence, highlighting the need for a reevaluation of incarceration policies, particularly for non-violent juvenile offenders. These implications align with ongoing juvenile justice reform efforts aimed at providing smaller, therapeutic facilities and expanding community-based alternatives to incarceration. Finally, significant racial differences were identified, with Black youth more likely than White youth to be offenders-only and less likely to be victims-only or neither-victims-nor-offenders when compared to being victim-offenders.

In a novel application of bias-corrected GWR, results reveal two high-risk areas: the downtown business district and the economically and racially marginalized east side. By exploring spatial predictors of rape in two ways (overall frequency and per 500 women), we examine how the space is primarily used—to work, visit, or reside. Key predictors include: percent White, median household income, total population, and percent vacant buildings. However, these predictors are not uniform across the city, with some having larger, inverse, or non-significant effects depending on the neighborhood. Study's methodological advances include applying bias corrections to estimates from popular spatial data and allowing predictors to vary by tract (GWR), highlighting that rape predictors function differently in different areas.
