Public Perceptions of Marital Rape: Does Level of Force Used Have an Impact?

open access: yesBehavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research indicates that marital rape is viewed by the public as less harmful to a victim than stranger/acquaintance rape. The aim of the study is to extend the research conducted by Robinson in 2017, investigating how levels of force influence perceptions of marital rape.

The Association Between Previous Suicide Attempts and Risk Level According to the Static‐99R in Men Who Have Sexually Offended

open access: yesCriminal Behaviour and Mental Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Suicide is a leading cause of death within correctional institutions, with men convicted of sexual offences over‐represented among those who have attempted suicide. Despite an increased risk for suicidality, limited research has examined how past suicide attempts are associated with sexual offending and specific risk domains on ...

The Sexual Recidivism Rates of Women Are Still Low: An Updated Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesCriminal Behaviour and Mental Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Compared to men, women are less likely to sexual offend. Previous reviews found low rates of sexual recidivism among women. The last published meta‐analysis was based on studies from before 2010. Aims Conduct an updated meta‐analysis of the sexual recidivism rates of women returned to the community.

Asymptotic independence in more than two dimensions and its implications on risk management

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract In extreme value theory, the presence of asymptotic independence signifies that joint extreme events across multiple variables are unlikely. Although well understood in a bivariate context, the concept remains relatively unexplored when addressing the nuances of simultaneous occurrence of extremes in higher dimensions.

Optimizing Use Of Marshall Asphalt Mix Design

open access: yes, 1997
Rutting has been a problem in Qatar's highway pavements since it began designing asphalt mixtures with the Marshall Method in the early 1990's. This paper describes specifications and rules-of-thumb which have been generated in the United States which may provide insight to Qatar's rutting problem and suggests modifications to mix design and ...

A rock brittleness index based on the postpeak energy release rate and damage surface characteristics for brittle hard rock

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study examines energy evolution in rock rupture via triaxial direct shear tests, exploring the impact of confining pressure and temperature on fracture surface randomness. A novel energy‐based brittleness index is proposed, validated experimentally, and compared with existing methods for reliability and accuracy.
