Is There a Long-Term Criminogenic Effect of the Exposure to a Paternal Conviction During Upbringing? An Analysis of Full Siblings Using Swedish Register Data
ConclusionsThe results provide evidence for an effect of the exposure to a paternal conviction on child subsequent conviction risk that cannot merely be explained by familial factors shared between full siblings. These results are, however, conditional on gender and on the type of criminal outcome. (Source: Journal of Quantitative Criminology)

Weekly Crime Concentration
ConclusionsCrime is highly concentrated when observed in its weekly patterns, but different types of crime and regions exhibit substantially distinct concentration levels. The temporal trace indicates specific moments for the burning times of different types of crime, which is a critical element of a policing strategy. (Source: Journal of Quantitative Criminology)

Hate in Word and Deed: The Temporal Association Between Online and Offline Islamophobia
ConclusionsOur findings likely point to what we have referred to ascompound retaliation, which suggests that media and social media dissemination about offline acts of hate compound already tense intergroup hostilities, providing further permission for those to express hatred online. Such a situation represents the compounding of hate and hostility through offline and online networks that are likely to be reinforcing. (Source: Journal of Quantitative Criminology)

Familial Clustering of Trends in Aggression
ConclusionsWe confirm earlier findings of a decline in aggression over the past decades. Not all individuals follow the downward trend over time for aggression to the same extent. Trends over time cluster within families, demonstrating that family factors are not only important to explain variation in aggression levels, but also in understanding differences between individuals in time trends.

Long-Term Dynamics of Neighborhoods and Crime: The Role of Education Over 40 Years
ConclusionThe findings provide evidence that educational attainment has important consequences for neighborhood crime, but this relationship depends on the kind of education, historical temporal period, and region of the city. Overall, communities with more college degrees are consistently associated with reductions in violence in more recent decades. (Source: Journal of Quantitative Criminology)

Questionable Research Practices and Open Science in Quantitative Criminology
ConclusionsMost quantitative criminologists in our sample have used QRPs, and many have used multiple QRPs. Moreover, there was substantial support for QRPs, raising questions about the validity and reproducibility of published criminological research. We found promising levels of OSP use, albeit at levels lagging what researchers endorse. The findings thus suggest that additional reforms are needed to decrease QRP use and increase the use of OSPs.

The Benefits of Patrol Officers Using Unallocated Time for Everyday Crime Prevention
ConclusionsPotential savings can be realized using existing resources  if police are able to increase the portion of time officers engage in hot spots policing, and police departments should make staffing and hiring decisions that maintain necessary levels of downtime.

Educational Consequences of Paternal Incarceration: Evidence from a Danish Policy Reform
ConclusionsThe findings presented in this study highlight the presence of unintended and collateral consequences of penal policies –even in the context of a relatively mild penal regime. Effects are, however, estimated for a subgroup of Danish children experiencing paternal incarceration, and how results translate to other subgroups and beyond the Danish context is open for speculation.

Addressing Ethnic Differences in the Validity of Self-reported Criminal Behaviour Through a Social Desirability Measure
ConclusionNeglecting to correct underreporting-bias hinders the validity of intergroup comparisons of self-reported criminal behaviour. The inclusion of a social desirability measure is therefore recommended to help identify and correct underreporting bias, particularly through the use of SDSR.

Trajectories of Change in Acute Dynamic Risk Ratings and Associated Risk for Recidivism in Paroled New Zealanders: A Joint Latent Class Modelling Approach
ConclusionsThere may be significant heterogeneity in how individuals ’ assessed level of acute risk changes following re-entry, but determining risk for recidivism should not be based on probable group membership. JLCM revealed heterogeneity in early re-entry unlikely to be observed using traditional analytic approaches. (Source: Journal of Quantitative Criminology)

Placing Perceptions of Unsafety: Examining Spatial Concentrations and Temporal Patterns of Unsafe Locations at Micro-Places
ConclusionsAs unsafe locations are concentrated to a small share of micro-places the results have important implications for both theory and practice. However, further research exploring unsafety and fear of crime at micro-places is highly warranted. (Source: Journal of Quantitative Criminology)

An Algorithmic Assessment of Parole Decisions
ConclusionsThis study demonstrates the utility of algorithms for evaluating criminal justice decision-making. Our analyses suggest that many individuals are being denied parole and incarcerated past their minimum sentence despite being a low risk to public safety.
