Group Design02:01

Group Design

The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between the two are due to...
Aggression01:47

Aggression

Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for hire...
Planning Nursing Care I01:21

Planning Nursing Care I

The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...
Bullying02:04

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is bullying.
Secondary Motives: Affiliation Motivation and Aggression Motivation01:21

Secondary Motives: Affiliation Motivation and Aggression Motivation

Affiliation motivation is the intrinsic desire to connect with others and belong to a social group, which plays a crucial role in forming and maintaining personal relationships. This type of motivation is essential for psychological well-being, as it provides individuals with a sense of community and support. An example of this is a student who joins a study group in order to feel a sense of connection. People with high affiliation motivation actively seek social approval, take satisfaction in...
Vascular Spasm01:16

Vascular Spasm

The vascular phase, also known as vasospasm, is the initial stage of hemostasis, crucial for preventing excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. After a vessel is cut, nerves in the damaged area trigger pain and other sensory impulses. Simultaneously, the smooth muscles in the vessel wall contract, resulting in a vascular spasm. This contraction reduces the vessel's diameter at the injury site, slowing or stopping blood loss through the vessel wall. Vascular spasms typically last for...

Area of Science:

  • Criminology
  • Forensic Psychology
  • Sociology of Crime

Background:

  • Understanding the premeditation of violent offenses is crucial for criminal justice.
  • Existing theories suggest predatory crimes are more planned than dispute-related ones.
  • The role of demographics in crime planning requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the extent to which different types of violent offenses are planned.
  • To examine the relationship between crime type, offender demographics, and planning.
  • To test hypotheses regarding predatory versus dispute-related and stranger versus domestic violence.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of self-report data from a national sample of state and federal inmates.
  • Categorization of violent offenses into types such as robbery, homicide, assault, and sexual assault.
  • Statistical examination of planning prevalence across offense types and demographic groups.

Main Results:

  • Robbery offenders reported significantly higher levels of planning compared to homicide and assault offenders.
  • Sexual assault offenders did not report higher planning levels than homicide offenders.
  • Domestic violence planning showed mixed results compared to stranger violence; significant demographic variations were observed, with lower socioeconomic status and African American offenders/victims less likely to plan certain crimes.

Conclusions:

  • The likelihood of crime planning varies substantially by offense type, challenging simple predatory vs. dispute dichotomies.
  • Demographic factors, including socioeconomic status and race, are associated with differential crime planning.
  • Findings underscore the complexity of criminal behavior and the need for nuanced approaches in understanding and addressing violent crime.
