    Unaccompanied refugee minors (URM) are particularly vulnerable due to the combination of unsafety, fleeing without their parents and their age. The authors conducted empirical research to explore which coping strategies the biggest URM group in 2020 in the Netherlands, Syrians, used and how their needs in coping with potentially traumatizing events correspond with the available care. We conducted 26 interviews with minor and adult Syrian refugees and professionals. The interviews showed that Syrian URM used nine different coping strategies, especially being self-reliant, distracting yourself, being positive and giving meaning. Their main needs are self-reliance, retaining their pride and being able to focus on the future. URM care in the Netherlands corresponds well with especially practical needs. However, concerns exist about the availability of emotional support and the cutoff point of guidance of URM once they turn 18. This study makes some concrete recommendations for improvement.

Het generatie-effect van delinquentie in een verdwenen West-Vlaamse gemeenschap met een negatieve reputatie

Een historisch onderzoek naar enkele basisbevindingen uit de levensloopcriminologie

Trefwoorden intergenerational transmission, continuity, crime, delinquency, partner similarity
Auteurs Geert Tavernier, Lieven Pauwels en Jan Verplaetse
SamenvattingAuteursinformatie

    Notwithstanding the rise of life course criminology during the past decades, ­sources for longitudinal research remain scarce. A neglected source are communities with a bad reputation about which a wealth of archival data is available and this over long periods. In this study the authors investigated whether the so-called generation effect can be found in a disappeared community, the so-called ‘boskanters’, who lived between 1700 and 1914 in fairly primitive conditions in West Flanders (Belgium). From the literature the authors extracted six basic findings that they tested against demographic, genealogical and judicial data found in archives. Four of the six basic findings they did confirm. In the ‘boskanters’ community, too, serious delinquency runs in the family. Although a bad reputation tainted the entire community, criminal behavior was more concentrated in some family branches than in others. Intermarriages between criminal families help to explain this transmission and concentration. Correlations with seriousness of the offenses and the delinquent profile of the mother were not confirmed or only partially. The authors also did find that women less tied to criminal families had more chances to leave that community. Overall, this study shows that historical data on local communities might be useful in understanding how criminality persists from one generation to the next.

Kroniek

Online criminaliteit in criminologisch perspectief

Recente ontwikkelingen in het onderzoek naar daders en slachtoffers van online criminaliteit

Trefwoorden Cybercrime, Online crime, Literature review, Offenders, Victims
Auteurs Marleen Weulen Kranenbarg en Susanne van ’t Hoff-de Goede
SamenvattingAuteursinformatie

    In 2017 the first TvC kroniek on cybercrime mainly discussed what was not yet known in this relatively new field. Since then, cybercriminals developed their methods and a lot has also happened in the field of cybercrime research both in the Netherlands and internationally. In this kroniek, we discuss recent and innovative research on both offenders and victims of online crime. With respect to offenders, we mainly focus on longitudinal research and research on offender prevention. With respect to victimisation, we discuss research on prevalence, impact and explanations. Moreover, we consider the overlap between offending and victimisation of online crime. We also provide an overview of research topics that should be prioritzed in the coming years according to members of the ESC (European Society of Criminology) Cybercrime Working Group. We end with a discussion that includes our perspective on future research in this field.
