Learning to blast a way into crime, or just good clean fun? Examining aggressive play with toy weapons and its relation with crime
Conclusions and implicationsThe act of pretending to be aggressive in childhood thus plays little role in predicting later criminality after other factors, such as gender, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or depression, have been taken into account. Involvement in imaginative play with toy gun use in early childhood is unlikely to be useful as a risk marker for later criminal behaviour. Play fighting and war toy games may even be considered necessary components within the frame of normal development. Copyright © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Predicting delinquency by self ‐reported impulsivity in adolescents in Ghana
ConclusionThe ABIS was shown to have sound psychometrics in a standard Ghanaian secondary school sample. Even in this group, where delinquency and antisocial behaviours were of low frequency, its motor and attention impulsivity scores were shown to have some relationship with violent and general delinquent behaviours, suggesting that the ABIS could be a useful tool across cultures for identifying adolescents at high risk of such problems and intervening early to limit damage.

Screening for mental health needs of New Zealand youth in secure care facilities using the MAYSI ‐2
ConclusionsYoung people in secure facilities in New Zealand have substantial service needs. Early intervention that engages them in services upon first contact with the youth justice system might help reduce this burden. Further validation of the MAYSI‐2 in New Zealand may be warranted because of the unique ethnic make‐up of these young offenders. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Injury resulting from targeted violence: An emergency department perspective
ConclusionsOur findings support a broader concept of hate victimisation and suggest that emergency room violence surveys could act as a community tension sensor and early warning system in this regard. Tackling alcohol misuse seems as important in this as in other forms of violence perpetration. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. (Source: Criminal Behaviour and Mental Health)

Patient characteristics and outcome measurement in a low secure forensic hospital
Conclusions/implications for clinical practiceStandard clinical measures are promising as indicators of change in low security hospital patients. Risk ratings may be conservative, but at this stage of a secure hospital admission, higher scores may be as likely to indicate progress in identifying and quantifying risks as apparent increase in risk.
