This study integrates the IPV gender symmetry/asymmetry framework with the criminological concept of victim-offender overlap to examine TFGBV among Korean adolescents. Using data from the 2021 Korean Children and Youth Digital Life Survey, the study proceeds in two stages. Stage 1 examines gender patterns through form-specific and frequency-based decomposition. Stage 2 introduces the victim-offender overlap as a novel analytic dimension. Results reveal gender symmetry in overall victimization alongside significant asymmetry in perpetration. Form-specific analyses show that aggregate symmetry masks opposing gender differences across TFGBV types. Female adolescents reported higher rates of appearance-related remarks, unwanted sexual messages and solicitation of exposing photos, while male adolescents reported higher rates of sexual jokes and non-consensual filming. The victim-offender overlap analysis demonstrates that identical victimization rates reflect structurally different compositions: among male victims, approximately half were simultaneously perpetrators, whereas among female victims, nearly two-thirds were exclusively victimized. Form-specific overlap patterns varied substantially, from high co-occurrence of victimization and perpetration for sexual jokes among male adolescents to predominantly victim-only concentration for unwanted messages among female adolescents. These findings demonstrate that aggregate prevalence rates are insufficient for assessing gender patterns in TFGBV and that the victim-offender overlap offers a novel dimension for the gender symmetry debate beyond frequency decomposition and consequence measurement.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48272,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Criminal Justice","volume":"105 ","pages":"Article 102709"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148634288","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}

Findings emphasize how parent-child contact can protect against the stress of incarceration. The relationship between in-person contact and well-being combined with the efficiency of email communication suggests that correctional policies must transition from models that merely allow contact toward those that facilitate meaningful engagement.

Using a dataset of North Carolina capital trials from 1977 to 2023, we estimate binary and multilevel logistic regressions to identify predictors of change of venue motions filing and granting, accounting for between-county variation. The results show that filings are significantly more likely in cases involving multiple victims, rape, White or law enforcement victims, or retrials, but less likely when victims were engaged in illegal activity. Smaller jurisdictions are also more likely to generate venue motion requests. Further, judicial decisions to grant venue motions are driven more by county-level and courtroom characteristics than by case-specific factors. These findings suggest that venue motion filings reflect strategic defense decisions influenced by anticipated juror bias, while granting decisions are more strongly influenced by local institutional context.

This practice is theoretically justified when the spatial data generating process is stable across the years being averaged, but may lead to errors in measurement. Specifically, under such conditions, averaging reduces variance around the true underlying spatial pattern. This study examines whether that assumption holds in practice and, if so, whether the predicted benefits of averaging materialise. Spatial stability is assessed pairwise across 23 years of crime data (2003–2025) in Vancouver, British Columbia with predictive consequences estimated through a bootstrap simulation across eight crime types, two spatial scales (census tracts and dissemination areas, common units of analysis, particularly in spatial crime analysis), seven training years (2018–2024), using six regression models. Where spatial patterns are stable, averaging produces near-zero average effects on prediction error with large unpredictable variability across years. As such, the theoretical variance reduction does not materialise in practice. Where spatial patterns are unstable, the theoretical justification for averaging does not hold, and the effects on prediction error are large and unpredictable in direction. Consequently, averaging may substantially improve or substantially harm prediction depending on crime type and year.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48272,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Criminal Justice","volume":"105 ","pages":"Article 102703"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148656600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
