Choi empirically assesses a computer-crime victimization model by applying Routine Activities Theory (RAT). He tests the components of RAT via structural equation modeling to assess the existence of any statistical significance between individual online lifestyles, the levels of computer security, and levels of individual computer-crime victimization. A self-report survey, which contained multiple measures of the risk factors and computer-crime victimization, was administered to 204 college students to gather data to test the model. The findings provide empirical supports for the components of

In September of 2004, the government of South Korea enacted the 'Act on the Punishment of Intermediating in the Sex Trade'. Included in the law are strict penalties, such as large fines and long prison sentences for both the owners of brothels and their patrons. Despite this law, many observers in Korea have suggested that the sex trade within Korea has been displaced from red light districts to more clandestine locations, including barbershops, karaoke parlours, massage parlours, and even cyberspace. They argue that the act does little more than suppress the sex trade in one place, which then causes it to resurface somewhere else. Another term for this phenomenon is crime displacement. Several scholars have contributed to the development of a displacement typology: spatial, temporal, tactical, target, and offence. Whatever the specific type, displacement is an adaptive response. Displacement is a central concern of researchers, policymakers, and others concerned with crime prevention and proactive policing. An analysis of the Korean case will provide important insights into the dynamics of crime displacement. The paper introduces the theoretical background of crime displacement and presents theories and general concepts of crime displacement. A discussion then follows regarding the analysis of official data on prostitution in the years 2000 to 2009 and a news content analysis of crime displacement based on 174 newspaper articles as well as a secondary data analysis derived from a survey of 1,078 Korean sex workers in seven cities throughout South Korea. Finally, the paper discusses the implications of theory and policy for improving our understanding of current anti-prostitution policies and efforts to control prostitution.

Applying a random-effect meta-analysis, the current study examines previous empirical findings about three main purposes of Emotional Literacy (EL) correctional programs: improving empathy, mindfulness, and self-regulation among inmate populations. A total of 22 programs in 15 studies in Germany, Portugal, the Netherlands, and the US are analyzed. Results suggest that EL programs significantly improve levels of empathy, mindfulness, and self-regulation, although a possibility of publication bias is observed. Based on these findings, this study concludes that EL programs retain a potential as an effective rehabilitation strategy and should be sought and implemented in U.S. correctional settings.
