ISBN 978 90 5454 965 9 NUR 820 Preface The International Crime Victims Survey became operational in 1989. The main object was to seek advancement in international comparative crimi- nological research, beyond the constraints of officially recorded crime data. The next sweeps of the ICVS surveys took place in 1992, 1996 and 2000. With its fifth sweep in 2005 the initiative has developed into a truly unique global project. Over a time span of fifteen years more than 300,000 people were interviewed about their experiences with victimisation and related subjects in 78 different countries. This report describes the 2004 – 2005 sweep of surveys in 30 countries and 33 capital or main cities and compares results with those of earlier sweeps. A large portion of the latest data in this report comes from the European Survey on Crime and Safety (EU ICS), organised by a consortium lead by Gallup Europe, co-financed by the European Commission’s Directorate General for Research and Technology Development. The ICVS is the most comprehensive instrument developed yet to monitor and study volume crimes, perception of crime and attitudes towards the criminal justice system in a comparative, international perspective. The data are from surveys amongst the general public and therefore not influ- enced by political or ideological agendas of governments of individual countries. Standardisation of questionnaires used and other aspects of data collection assure that data can, within confidence margins, be reli- ably compared across countries. Independent reviews have attested to the comparability of ICVS results (e.g. Lynch, 2006). The ICVS started in 1989 in 14 industrialised countries. City surveys were also piloted in Warsaw, Poland and Surabaya, Indonesia. Already in the second sweep coverage was enlarged by including several countries in Eastern Central Europe. Fieldwork in some of these countries was funded by the Ministry for Development Aid of the Netherlands. For these coun- tries the project played a part in the process of modernising criminal justice systems after Western European models. Many of those countries have now become part of the European Union. Where most industrialised countries have a long tradition of publishing statistics on police-recorded crime, in many developing countries crime data are either fragmented, of poor quality or not available to the public. Crime victim surveys in these countries, although restricted to the capital or main cities, is often the only available source of statistical information on crime and victimisation. Internationally comparable crime victim surveys not only serve policy purposes but make data available that can be used by researchers inter- ested in crime in a comparative context, including in developing coun- tries from different regions of the world. It should be noted, however, that 6 Criminal Victimisation in International Perspective most of the resources and interest for victim surveys are still concentrated in the industrialised world, thus the available information covered by this report predominantly originates from European countries. Acknowledgments The ICVS 2004-05 involved a huge collaborative effort. The authors wish to express their sincere thanks to all people who, at any stage, contributed to this endeavour. Thanks go in the first place to the interviewers who spent weeks on the phone or walked through cities knocking on doors and interviewing people face to face, as well as supervisors, data clerks, statis- ticians and other people involved in the fieldwork. Beyond the most prominent organisations and people involved in the ICVS 2004-05 and all those who contributed their data, who get full recognition in the introductory chapter of this report, the authors wish to acknowledge a few who deserve special credit. Martin Killias, one of the founding fathers of the ICVS; Pat Mayhew, a driving force from the first moment (it is the first time she is not co- authoring the key results of the ICVS); Directors and staff members of the United Nations Interregional Criminal Justice Research Institute in Turin, Italy, for their continued support to the ICVS; Mariano Ciafardini and Daniel Fernández from the Argentinean Ministry of Justice, who not only carried out their own surveys but gave tremendous support to the researchers who conducted ICVS-based crime surveys elsewhere in Latin America; Beaty Naudé and Johan Prinsloo from the Institute for Crimi- nological Sciences, University of South Africa in Pretoria, for their ICVS related work in the Southern African region; Roderic Broadhurst, current- ly with the Queensland University of Technology, who funded and coordi- nated the survey in Hong Kong and conducted two surveys in Cambodia. Furthermore the authors wish to thank various colleagues working for agencies in the United Kingdom, Finland, the Netherlands, USA, Poland, Estonia, Australia and Canada for their continuing support, which gave the ICVS the opportunity to collect comparable and reliable data on trends in actual crime and related issues that have not been collected before. Finally, many thanks to the reviewers of an earlier draft for their frank and very helpful criticisms.

Work on this report commenced in late March 2017 and the final report was submitted to the Review in July 2017. Chapter 1 (What is Hate Crime?) explores what is meant by the term “hate crime”, noting that different definitions may properly be used for different purposes. It notes that the legislative response to hate crime can be characterised by the definition offered by Chakraborti and Garland: the creation of offences, or sentencing provisions, “which adhere to the principle that crimes motivated by hatred or prejudice towards particular features of the victim’s identity should be treated differently from ‘ordinary’ crimes”.

  • Harassment and Victimisation Introduction
    Harassment and victimisation Introduction Stockholm University is to be characterised by its excellent environment for work and study. All employees and students shall be treated equally and with respect. At Stockholm University we shall jointly safeguard our work and study environment. A good environment enables creative development and excellent outcomes for work and study. At Stockholm University, victimisation, harassment associated with discrimination on any grounds and sexual harassment are unacceptable and must not take place. Victimisation, harassment and sexual harassment all jeopardise the affected person's job satisfaction and chances of success in work or study. As soon as the university becomes aware that someone has been affected, action will be taken immediately. In this brochure, Stockholm University explains • the forms that victimisation, harassment and sexual harassment may take, • what you can do if you or someone else becomes subjected to such behaviour, • the university's responsibilities, • the sanctions faced by those subjecting a person to victimisation, harassment or sexual harassment. Astrid Söderbergh Widding Vice-Chancellor Production: Human Resources Office, Student Services, Council for Equal Opportunities and Equality, and Matador kommunikation. Illustrations: Jan Ed. Printing: Ark-Tryckaren, 2015. 3 What is victimisation? All organisations experience occasional differences of opinion, conflicts and difficulties in working together. However, these occasional conflicts are not considered victimisation or bullying. Victimisation is defined as recurrent reprehensible or negative actions directed against individuals and that may lead to the person experiencing it being marginalised. Examples include deliberate insults, demeaning treatment, ostracism, withholding of information, persecution or threats. Victimisation brings with it the risk that individuals as well as entire groups will be adversely affected, in both the short and long terms.

    RÍKISLÖGREGLUSTJÓRINN ALMANNAVARNADEILD Applies to: Media, Department of Civil Protection and Emergency, Management, administration and Chief Epidemiologist STATUS REPORT Date: 06.03.2020 Time: 17:30 Location: Coordination center /Directorate of Health /Chief Epidemiologist Emergency/Distress Phase: COVID-19 Event description Today 6 individuals have been diagnosed with COVID-19. The pathway of infection is being traced. 43 cases have been confirmed in Iceland of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. All are in isolation. The first cases of community transmission within Iceland were diagnosed today. All are in relatively good health. They were infected after being exposed to persons coming from Italy and Austria. As a result, The National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and Chief Epidemiologist has raised the alert level of the response to the COVID-19 virus outbreak. This emergency activation has no significant impact on the public beyond those measures that have been taken already. However, it allows for response agencies and critical service providers to increase their preparedness activities (aprox. 150-200 institutions). For the time being, no travel restrictions are in force. There is no ban on mass gatherings. Such a ban would have a great impact on society and is therefore not activated as a result. The Chief Epidemiologist and his staff are paying special attention to vulnerable groups, particularly the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions. This group should take special care and avoid crowed places and events. Health care institutions and the organization of welfare companies are increasing their defenses and readiness. deCode genetics (Íslensk erfðagreining) has offered to do screenings for the COVID-19 in Icelandic society to check its pathways.

The island is volcanic and is 103,000 square kilometres. Most built-up areas are scattered around the coastline which is 4,970 km long. On 31 December 2004 the number of inhabitants was 293.577. The population is not evenly distributed and about 180,000 persons reside in Reykjavík, the capital, and the neighbouring communities. An evening view from the Barðaströnd coast in Western Iceland. Icelanders are of Scandinavian, Irish and Scottish origin. The first people known to have visited Iceland were Irish monks or hermits, but they left with the arrival of the pagan Norsemen who settled in Iceland in the period 870-930 AD. The Icelandic language dates back to Ancient Norse. Executive power lies with the President of the Republic and the Government.

  • Research Into Cyberbullying and Cyber Victimisation
    Australasian Journal of Educational Technology 2007, 23(4), 435-454 Bullying in the new playground: Research into cyberbullying and cyber victimisation Qing Li University of Calgary This study examines the nature and extent of adolescents’ cyberbullying experiences, and explores the extent to which various factors, including bullying, culture, and gender, contribute to cyberbullying and cyber victimisation in junior high schools. In this study, one in three adolescents was a cyber victim, one in five was a cyberbully, and over half of the students had either experienced or heard about cyberbullying incidents. Close to half of the cyber victims had no idea who the predators were. Culture and engagement in traditional bullying were strong predictors not only for cyberbullying, but also for cyber victimisation. Gender also played a significant role, as males, compared to their female counterparts, were more likely to be cyberbullies. Cyberbullying and cyber victimisation School bullying has been widely recognised as a serious problem and it is particularly persistent and acute during junior high and middle school periods (National Center for Educational-Statistics, 1995). In the USA, “up to 15% of students … are frequently or severely harassed by their peers. … Only a slim majority of 4th through 12th graders … (55.2%) reported neither having been picked on nor picking on others” (Hoover & Olsen, 2001). Universally, bullying is reported as a significant problem in many countries of the world including European countries, North America, and Japan (Smith et al., 1999), suggesting that bullying may play a important role in adolescents’ life in many societies. More importantly, it is reported that in many cases of school shootings, the bully played a major role (Dedman, 2001; Markward, Cline & Markward, 2002).

  • Victimisation from Physical Punishment and Intimate Partner Aggression in South Africa: the Role of Revictimisation
    Victimisation from Physical Punishment and Intimate Partner Aggression in South Africa: The Role of Revictimisation Master’s Thesis in Peace, Mediation and Conflict Research Developmental Psychology Magret Tsoahae, 1901696 Supervisor: Karin Österman Faculty of Education and Welfare Studies Åbo Akademi University, Finland Spring 2021 Magret Tsoahae Abstract Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate victimisation from physical punishment during childhood, victimisation from an intimate partner as an adult, and psychological concomitants. Method: A questionnaire was completed by 190 females, 32 males, and three who did not state their sex. The respondents where from South Africa. The mean age was 40.0 years (SD 12.2) for females, and 29.7 years (SD 9.9) for males. Results: For females, victimisation from physical punishment correlated significantly with victimisation from intimate partner controlling behaviours. For females, but not for males, victimisation from physical punishment during childhood correlated positively with depression and anxiety later in life. For both females and males, a high significant correlation was found between victimisation from intimate partner physical aggression and controlling behaviours, intimate partner physical aggression also correlated significantly with depression and anxiety. For males, victimisation from controlling behaviours correlated significantly with anxiety. Respondents who had been victimised more than average from physical punishment scored significantly higher than others on victimisation from controlling behaviours, intimate partner physical aggression, depression, and anxiety. Conclusions: It was concluded that victimisation from intimate partner aggression was associated with previous victimisation from physical punishment during childhood and could therefore constitute a form of revictimisation. Key Words: Controlling behaviours by a partner, physical intimate partner aggression, physical punishment during childhood, depression, anxiety, South Africa.
