“…For this current study, the SSA output was visually examined to determine if the offenders' characteristics could be categorised into distinct themes as regionally hypothesised. SSA has been successfully applied in several studies across a variety of crime types for differentiating offence behaviour (Deblasio et al, 2022;Ioannou, et al, 2015;Ioannou, Synnott, Lowe, & Tzani Pepelasi, 2018;Ioannou, Synnott, Reynolds, & Pearson, 2018;Synnott, et al, 2018;Yaneva, et al, 2018).…”

Femicide, the lethal form of gender‐based violence against women, is a global health crisis that transcends class and ethnicity. To date, there is no working model for differentiating male femicide offenders within Northern Ireland (NI); therefore, the current study aimed to do this, focusing on the timeframe of the COVID‐19 lockdown in 2020. The research has drawn on newspaper articles reporting on the 11 NI femicides perpetrated over a period of 20 months. These crimes were content analysed for the presence or absence of 16 pre‐identified offender variables. The data was analysed using a multi‐dimensional scaling procedure called Smallest Space Analysis (SSA). Two distinct themes emerged: Chronic Criminal Abuser and Mentally Disturbed. The qualitative data obtained on offender characteristics aligned with the preliminary model for differentiation. Forensic implications pertinent to risk assessment and management are considered. It is argued that NI adopt an active violence against women and girls (VAWG) strategy to effectively tackle the issue of Femicide. Future research may consider a retrospective study of NI Femicide offenders to firmly establish the types of offenders committing femicide for targeted resource allocation.

“…Once each case had been coded, the data was transferred to HUDAP to run the SSA. SSA has been employed extensively in comparable studies of different crime types (DeBlasio et al., 2022; Ioannou et al., 2015, 2018, 2018; Ioannou, Synnott, Lowe, & Tzani‐Pepelasi, 2018; Synnott et al., 2018).…”

The homeless population remains understudied, and their victimisation is unreported, especially homeless victims of homicide. With the number of people faced with homelessness increasing, the heightened rates of victimisation for violent crimes throughout this population becomes even more concerning. A review of the literature revealed an absence of meaningful research beyond basic descriptive statistics of rates of homeless homicide in the UK. The current study explores the behavioural variation and risk factors associated with the victims and perpetrators of 19 cases of homeless homicide in the UK. A content analysis was first conducted to derive 22 case variables. Smallest Space Analysis was then employed to analyse the cases according to the variables selected. The themes produced in the SSA output were comparable to that of Canter's Victim Role Model: Victim as Object, Victim as Person and Victim as Vehicle. The current study lays a foundation for developing an understanding of the variation in behaviour across cases of homeless homicide and may serve to inform preventative measures.

“…The NASM has been applied in many research focused on several offences Canter & Youngs, 2009, 2012aDeblasio et al, 2022;Goodlad et al, 2019;Greenwood et al, 2023;Ioannou et al, 2018), demonstrating the successful appropriateness of this form of content analysis. For instance, Ioannou et al (2015) applied the model to property offences, drug offences, robbery, violence, sexual offences and murder.…”

IntroductionThe majority of research conducted into cyberbullying tends to focus on the victims, due to the serious consequences and effects that this crime has on them. However, there is a need to explore, categorize and identify cyberbullies and their characteristics so that inferences and crime links can be made to prevent the crime. The present study aimed to investigate whether the Narrative Action System Model (NASM) could be used to identify and examine the psychological underpinnings of different cyberbully offending styles.MethodsThis model proposes four distinct narrative offender styles: the Professional, The Revenger, The Hero and the Victim. A total of 70 cases were analysed using a non‐metric multidimensional scaling procedure (Smallest Space Analysis I).ResultsResults produced four types of cyberbully styles, which can be related to the differentiation proposed by the NASM, demonstrating an effective application of the model. The thematic structure of each cyberbully style was discussed. Limitations and implications were provided.
