“…A number of studies of criminal actions have found such MDS models to be productive (for example, Canter and Heritage 1990;Canter and Fritzon 1998;Salfati 2000;Ioannou and Oostinga 2015). The particular power of SSA comes from its representation of the rank order of co-occurrence as rank orders of the distances in the geometric space (the use of ranks leads to it being considered non-metric MDS).…”

The world recently bore witness to large-scale riots engulfing both the Middle East as well as Europe, which despite differing in terms of culture, time and their punitive backdrop, what remained consistent was the mass gathering of groups of people engaged in seemingly atypical illegal behaviours.Rioting generally refers to collective group criminality involving acts of violence and destruction of property, arguably motivated by the current political climate. Traditionally, definitions have varied upon the differing contextual arenas in which consideration is given, such as political, legal and academic stance points. Currently legislation in England and Wales defines rioting as: 12 or more persons who are present together, use or threaten unlawful violence for a common purpose and the conduct of them (taken together) is such as would cause a person of reasonable firmness present at the scene to fear for his personal safety. (Public Order Act 1986, p.2)

“…Adopting the content analysis approach used in numerous previous studies examining thematic distinctions between differing offenders (Canter and Fritzon, 1998;Salfati and Canter, 1999;Youngs and Ioannou, 2013;Ioannou & Oostinga, 2015), 18 variables on offender characteristics (or risk factors) were identified and coded dichotomously in terms of the presence or absence of each variable. Previous research has demonstrated that content analysis, any more refined than presence/absence dichotomies, is likely to be unreliable (Canter & Heritage, 1990;Canter & Ioannou, 2004).…”

“…The percentage of intratheme occurrences was used rather than the actual number of occurrences, because the actual total number of offender characteristics (or risk factors) in each theme varied. This method of classification was also employed by Canter & Fritzon (1998), Salfati & Canter (1999), Youngs & Ioannou, (2013) and Ioannou & Oostinga (2015). A case was considered to be non-classifiable if it contained less than a third of the variables in any theme or if it contained equal numbers of variables from more than two themes or simply when there was no predominant theme.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the potential for developing a model for differentiating school shooters based on their characteristics (or risk factors) before the attack took place. Design/methodology/approach – Data on 40 school shootings was compiled from the National School Safety Center’s Report on School Associated Violent Deaths and media accounts. Content analysis of the cases produced a set of 18 variables relating to offenders’ characteristics (or risk factors). Data were subjected to Smallest Space Analysis (SSA), a non-metric multidimensional scaling procedure. Findings – Results revealed three distinct themes: Disturbed School Shooter, Rejected School Shooter and Criminal School Shooter. Further analysis identified links between these themes with the family background of the offender. Research limitations/implications – These findings have both significant theoretical implications in the understanding of school shooters and the crime in general. They offer potential for practical applications in terms of prevention and intervention strategies. A key limitation relates to the quality of data. Originality/value – This is the first study to develop a model for differentiating school shooter characteristics.

“…Foreign-born women and girls brought to the United States for the sex trade are viewed as innocent victims who may face language barriers, confiscation of their documents, and the fear of deportation or harm to their families (Ioannou & Oostinga, 2015). However, victims born in the United States are categorized as criminals (Menaker & Franklin, 2015).…”
