Leana A. Bouffard's research while affiliated with Iowa State University and other places

... Further, a large amount of research has shown there are numerous biases known to have an effect of parental reports of childrens delinquency and victimization, such as social desirability bias and gendered behavioural expectations (Bouffard & Armstrong, 2021;Najman et al., 2001). One informant characteristic worth significant consideration is how parental depression influences the likelihood and perceptions of childrens delinquency and victimization. ...

... Since early research on the dark figure of crime, more recent investigations consistently document that far more crime, violence, and victimization occurs than legal authorities are aware of, and this is true whether the focus is cybercrime (Tcherni et al., 2016), shoplifting (Dabney et al., 2004), hate crime (Pezzella et al., 2019), stalking (Bouffard et al., 2021;Brady & Nobles, 2017), serial murder (Quinet, 2007;Yaksic, 2020), or sexual crime (Abel et al., 1987;Drury et al., 2020;Koss et al., 1987). In some cases, hundreds to thousands of criminal episodes and victimizations occur with the majority of those events never resulting in arrest. ...

... Specifical ly, participants exposed to the traditional scenario displayed more negative attitudes toward survivors compared to those exposed to the neutral scenario. This alignment with traditional gender roles, which are positively associated with the acceptance of rape myths (Anderson & Cummings, 1993;Cooke et al., 2022), appears to contribute to the development of these negative attitudes. Therefore, negative attitudes toward survivors seem to result from their association with rape, regardless of norm violations. ...

... When police officers face IPVAW events, they draw upon existing information contained in their schemes to compare it with IPVAW situation faced, shaping their attitudes toward and responses to IPVAW (Robinson, 2000). Police schemata are primarily shaped by variables related to broader socialization, training, and prior experiences within and outside the police force (Goodson et al., 2020). Overall, within an ecological framework (Heise, 1998), most studies have placed a special emphasis on the determinants that belong to ontogenic-and micro-systems, of which the myths surrounding IPVAW and the perceived severity of IPVAW have been associated consistently with attitudes toward intervention in gender violence (Baldry & Pagliaro, 2014;Finn & Stalans, 2002;Tam & Tang, 2005). ...

... Other pornography-related factors assessed were age of first exposure, reasons for watching pornography, sharing pornography of self or others, pornography acceptance, and types of media watched. Another of the most frequently assessed variables was the frequency of pornography use: in the last month (Spadine et al., 2020), 6 months (Bonino et al., 2006;Dawson et al., 2019;Franklin, 2013;Goodson et al., 2020;Kohut et al., 2020, and12 months (Brown &L'Engle, 2009;Chang et al., 2016;Foubert et al., 2011;Hagen et al., 2018;Hald & Malamuth, 2015;Herbenick et al., 2020;Kernsmith & Kernsmith, 2009;Rothman & Adhia, 2015;Simons et al., 2012;Willoughby et al., 2016;Wolak et al., 2007;Wright & Tokunaga, 2016). ...

... Next to this, most members of the judiciary, despite trainings being offered to them by, amongst others, ICMPD (2006) and the ILO (2018) and by many more national initiatives, the judiciary remains with having limited knowledge on assessing evidence on its worth in relation to the crime of human trafficking. One example being that victim statements may change over time (Franklin et al., 2020). This has nothing to do with victims telling lies, which is usually presumed by the courts, but with the fact of psychological processes involved in dealing with stress and the processing of trauma which have effect on the memory regarding recall and review of passive or repressed memories because of victimisation (Rijken, 2023). ...

... Specifically, older studies have found that batterers were more likely to violate when they had a history of violence against strangers (Carlson et al.1999), when they had higher rates of arrests for crimes other than DV (Keilitz et al.1998), or when respondents used alcohol or drugs (Chaudhuri & Daly 1992). More recent research also finds that individuals who have been arrested for DV and have served time in jail had higher rates of recidivism for DV (Collins et al. 2019). ...

... Browning (2002) has argued that applying social organization theory to understanding male-perpetrated IPV is warranted given the role of collective efficacy in monitoring and sanctioning IPV. Social disorganization theory proposes that structural and material factors may decrease a sense of community and "collective ability," such that a community struggles to "realize common values and address community problems" (Taylor et al., 2020), regulate residents' behavior (Spriggs et al., 2009), and control or reduce crime (Goodson & Bouffard, 2019). Therefore, factors such as low socioeconomic status, residential instability, family disruption, and ethnic heterogeneity can indirectly affect crime rates (Goodson & Bouffard, 2019). ...

... Of the 55 papers identified, 24 studies were qualitative [14,; 23 studies used quantitative methods [13,, and eight papers used mixed methods [78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85]. When examining where each article was conducted, Most papers (23) were conducted in the USA [33,34,[39][40][41]43,49,50,53,55,56,[63][64][65][66]68,69,[71][72][73]79,81,85]; ...

... Blumenstock & Papp [86] demonstrated the interrelations between romantic relationship circumstances and drug habits. Relationship status, partner support, and partner presence at the moment are related to at least one form of substance use behavior [86,98]. They also indicated that supportive partnerships are not universally protective against substance use in the college population. ...
