    Worldwide Readership Research Symposium 2007 Session 2 Paper 9 FREE NEWSPAPER READERSHIP Piet Bakker, Amsterdam School of Communications Research, University of Amsterdam Abstract Twelve years after the introduction of the first free commuter newspaper in Sweden, circulation of free newspapers has risen to 40 million daily copies. Readership of free newspapers is more complex and in many cases harder to pin down. In general it is different from readership of paid newspapers. The first difference concerns the demographics of the readers: free papers target the affluent 18 to 34 group and in many cases try to achieve that by choosing particular ways of distribution, and also by concentrating on specific content. Age, indeed seems to be significantly lower in most cases although the average readers does not seem to be particularly wealthy. The second distinct feature is the amount of unique readers of free newspaper. Results on the few available cases indicate that around half of the readers only read papers although also lower levels have been reported. The third issue concerns readers per copy. The traditional free commuter daily can reach to a rather high number of readers per copy; but with many markets reaching free newspaper saturation this number seems to be dropping, whereas free door-to-door distributed free papers and afternoon papers have a lower readership per copy. In this paper we will present information on these three issues from a dozen markets, using audited readership data. Free Newspaper Readership The World Association of Newspapers (2007) reported on the year 2006 that daily circulation of newspapers increased with 4.61 percent (25 million copies) compared to 2005.

  • Genetic Background of Extreme Violent Behavior
    Molecular Psychiatry (2015) 20, 786–792 © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1359-4184/15 www.nature.com/mp ORIGINAL ARTICLE Genetic background of extreme violent behavior J Tiihonen1,2,3,19, M-R Rautiainen3,19, HM Ollila3,4, E Repo-Tiihonen2, M Virkkunen5,6, A Palotie7,8,9,10,11, O Pietiläinen3, K Kristiansson3, M Joukamaa12, H Lauerma3,13,14, J Saarela15, S Tyni16, H Vartiainen16, J Paananen17, D Goldman18 and T Paunio3,5,6 In developed countries, the majority of all violent crime is committed by a small group of antisocial recidivistic offenders, but no genes have been shown to contribute to recidivistic violent offending or severe violent behavior, such as homicide. Our results, from two independent cohorts of Finnish prisoners, revealed that a monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) low-activity genotype (contributing to low dopamine turnover rate) as well as the CDH13 gene (coding for neuronal membrane adhesion protein) are associated with extremely violent behavior (at least 10 committed homicides, attempted homicides or batteries). No substantial signal was observed for either MAOA or CDH13 among non-violent offenders, indicating that findings were specific for violent offending, and not largely attributable to substance abuse or antisocial personality disorder. These results indicate both low monoamine metabolism and neuronal membrane dysfunction as plausible factors in the etiology of extreme criminal violent behavior, and imply that at least about 5–10% of all severe violent crime in Finland is attributable to the aforementioned MAOA and CDH13 genotypes. Molecular Psychiatry (2015) 20, 786–792; doi:10.1038/mp.2014.130; published online 28 October 2014 INTRODUCTION Recently, it was reported that this finding has actually started to 9 Violent crime is a major issue that affects the quality of life even in influence the attitudes on court sentences in the US.

  • Than 40% of Individuals in the EU25 Used the Internet at Least Once a Week a Quarter of Households and Two-Thirds of Enterprises Had Broadband Internet Access
    45/2006 - 6 April 2006 Internet usage in the EU25 in 2005 More than 40% of individuals in the EU25 used the internet at least once a week A quarter of households and two-thirds of enterprises had broadband internet access In the EU25 , 48% of households 1 had access to the internet during the first quarter of 2005, and 23% had a broadband connection. At the beginning of 2005, 91% of enterprises 2 had access to the internet, and 63% of enterprises had a broadband connection. This information comes from a report 3 released by Eurostat, the Statistical Office of the European Communities . This report presents the results of surveys of internet access and broadband connections for households and enterprises, and internet usage by individuals, in the EU25 Member States, Norway and Iceland . It also covers e-commerce. Household internet access ranged from 16% in Lithuania to 78% in the Netherlands In the first quarter of 2005, the highest proportions of households with internet access were recorded in the Netherlands (78%), Luxembourg (77%), Denmark (75%) and Sweden (73%). The lowest levels were registered in Lithuania (16%), the Czech Republic (19%), Greece and Hungary (both 22%) and Slovakia (23%). At the beginning of 2005, the highest proportions of enterprises with internet access were recorded in Finland (98%), Denmark (97%), Slovenia and Sweden (both 96%). Only in Latvia (75%), Hungary (78%), Cyprus (85%), Lithuania (86%) and Poland (87%) were fewer than 90% of enterprises connected to the internet. Broadband offers a much faster connection to the internet, and offers the potential of changing the way the internet is used.

  • Exploring Police Relations with the Immigrant Minority in the Context of Racism and Discrimination: a View from Turku, Finland
    ISSN 1554-3897 AFRICAN JOURNAL OF CRIMINOLOGY & JUSTICE STUDIES: AJCJS; Volume 1, No. 2, November 2005 EXPLORING POLICE RELATIONS WITH THE IMMIGRANT MINORITY IN THE CONTEXT OF RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION: A VIEW FROM TURKU, FINLAND Egharevba, Stephen Faculty of Law, University of Turku, Finland and Hannikainen, Lauri Faculty of Law, University of Turku, Finland Abstract Citizens and immigrant minorities come into contact with the police in various circumstances, either as witnesses, victims of crime, or even as suspects. The present study is an attempt to examine issues concerning racism and discrimination in police/immigrant relations in Finland under this circumstances, which to our knowledge has not received the academic scholastic investigation it deserves. Furthermore, this is also an attempt to look at police/immigrant everyday interactions to help in understanding this relationship. The research was carried out by means of a questionnaire (the sampled respondents consisting of forty-seven graduating police cadets a day before their graduation from the Police School and six serving police officers) and a semi- structured interview with thirteen police/cadets volunteers. These sources then served as the basis of this analysis Secondly, the participants’ experiences were examined in our attempt to determine whether the relationships were cordial or not. The authors are of the opinion that the experiences of these respondents could help to understand and shed some light on how Exploring Police Relations With The Immigrant Minority In The Context Of Racism And Discrimination: A View From Turku, Finland Egharevba, Stephen and Hannikainen, Lauri these two groups view their relations. The finding indicates some level of ignorance on the part of the police/cadets of the cultural differences between the immigrant minorities and the majority population.

  • The Dangerous Offender As a Problem in Finnish Judicature and Society Bruun Kari* University of Tampere, Finland
    Open Access Journal of Forensic and Crime Studies RESEARCH ARTICLE ISSN: 2638-3578 The Dangerous Offender as a Problem in Finnish Judicature and Society Bruun Kari* University of Tampere, Finland *Corresponding author: Bruun Kari, University of Tampere, Finland, Tel: + 358415451454, E-mail: [email protected] Citation: Bruun Kari (2019) The Dangerous Offender as a Problem in Finnish Judicature and Society. J Forensic Crime Stu 3: 102 Abstract In Finnish judicature, as elsewhere, the dangerousness of offenders has gained increasing attention during the past few decades. The question asked in this study is this: what were the knowledge and belief systems, conditions and struggles, in the judicial and societal spheres in particular, through which dangerousness reached its current status in the context of actor-centric prevention of crime? The research data consisted of government proposals, various documents, literature, and newspaper articles on law drafting as well as assessment, prediction, and conceptions of dangerousness. The analysis was done by examining the data discursively, reaching beyond the textual structure towards language-mediated social construction of reality. The analysis lends support to the notion that presumed dangerousness is a condition that is attached to the offender on the basis of certain indications but that it is not always an omen of severe violence in the future. Although the methods of assessing and predicting dangerousness have shown great progress lately, they still prove controversial in regard to an individual person. Also, the notion of decreasing the risk of offender violence by means of treatment is discernibly less emphasized in Finnish judicature than in most other Western countries.
