... However, despite all efforts, the problem of terrorism remains relevant and still unresolved in the CIS. Some terrorist groups continue their activities aimed at destabilising the region and violating international security [58]. Evidently, the fight against terrorism in the CIS requires constant improvement and adaptation to the changing situation. ...

... Modern researchers view anxiety in children as an internal property that is difficult to detect even for the immediate social circle, including parents, teachers, and educators (Ybyraimzhanov et al., 2022;Halibiyati et al., 2024). Among manifestations of anxiety are excessive worry, inattention, aloofness, or shyness of the child (Rubin et al., 2006(Rubin et al., , 2009. ...

... However, simultaneously, the issue of developing appropriate protection for the subjects of such legal relationships arises. At the same time, there is no question that the people involved in these relationships should be protected according to the basic rules of civil law (Alua et al. 2023;Jadalhaq et al. 2023), which are becoming more critical as smart contracts become more common (Temte 2019). ...

... Among these groups, Black individuals with neck tattoos were more likely than others to face felony charges (Camacho & Brown, 2018). It is also noteworthy that law enforcement catalog the tattoos of arrestees in the Registry of Distinct Marks (Miranda, 2020), which is kept in their permanent record and could potentially bias future incarceration and convictions due to the criminogenic stigmatization of individuals with tattoos (Martone, 2023;Rima et al., 2023). ...

... Studies frequently view victimization and offending as a false dichotomy in which individuals are categorized into binary typologies either as a victim (in which they are assumed to be non-offenders) or as an offender (assumed to be non-victims) thus ignoring the potential of a third category of victim and offender (Reingle, 2014). This tendency in the criminological literature is clear when reviewing studies that use regression techniques to examine potential correlates of victimization that only control for offending rather than include a category of victim and offender as an outcome (e.g., Joyner & Beaver, 2023). This false dichotomy has persisted in the literature despite the body of work that indicates that individuals are often both victims and offenders of crime across multiple types of criminal behaviors (see Jennings et al., 2012). ...

... Significant research has shown that at any age and with any personal identity (i.e., gender, race, ethnicity) or assault circumstances, unwanted sexual experiences take a serious toll on mental health. Research on victimization generally also suggests a dose-response effect such that increased exposure to various traumas results in increased negative consequences (Blanco et al., 2022;Charak et al., 2020;Turgumbayev et al., 2023). Past studies have also shown that exposure to sexual trauma puts victims at risk for repeated violent victimization, including subsequent sexual violence and intimate partner violence (IPV; Decker & Littleton, 2018;Spencer et al., 2019). ...

... 1,10,12,13 Four covariates known to be associated with contact with the criminal legal system and early mortality were included in the survival model. 27,28 These covariates include items measuring the self-rated general health of In addition to these risk factors, demographic characteristics were adjusted for the inclusion of male sex (reference = female sex), ethnicity (Hispanic; reference = non-Hispanic), and race (American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black, White; reference was other race [including individuals of multiple races and individuals who did not identify a race after initially identifying as Hispanic]). A dichotomous indicator (supplemental sample) for the NLSY97 sample in which the respondent participated (0 = initial sample; 1 = supplemental sample) was also included in the model to adjust for possible differences in the sampling procedures. ...

... This finding implies that ODD may manifest independently of these family-related factors, highlighting the need to explore additional potential influences on ODD within the specific context of JSS students in Ilorin. [36][37] conclusIon These findings not only provide valuable insights into the sociodemographic landscape of JSS students in Ilorin but also connect with and enhance existing knowledge in the field of ODD research. They underscore the importance of early adolescence, gender-specific considerations, and adaptable interventions across diverse school types while deepening our understanding of ODD's multifaceted nature within the context of family dynamics and socioeconomic influences. ...

... To do so, a cross-lagged sibling-barricade model was estimated using maximum likelihood estimation and robust standard errors, again, using the sem command in Stata 17. An illustration of these models can be seen in Figure 2. The cross-lagged sibling-barricade model has not been used previously but is an extension of a cross-lagged path model that has been used in many other studies that have examined the potential for child-driven effects (e.g., Joyner & Beaver, 2022). ...

... Perhaps the lack of an association in this study was due to the analytical sample consisting only of offenders which would necessarily restrict the amount of variation in the low self-control scale. Indeed, previous research using these data has revealed that this same measure of low self-control is consistently associated with victimization in the full sample (Rima et al., 2022). Nonetheless, if these findings are able to be replicated, then they would seem to suggest that perhaps low self-control is not nearly as important for victim-offender overlap as it is for victimization in non-criminal samples. ...
