A European-wide survey of police officers’ beliefs and perceptions on suspect interviews

2026-04-11T00:01:04Z

[EN] This study examined the beliefs and practices of police investigators regarding interviewing and interrogation processes across six European countries. To assess investigators’ perspectives, we administered a survey adapted from Kassin et al. (2007). Police interviewing and interrogation: A self-report survey of police practices and beliefs. Law and Human Behavior, 31(4), 381–400 addressing (1) recording practices, (2) length and frequency of suspect interviews, (3) suspects’ use of their right to silence, (4) prevalence of true and false confessions, (5) confidence in detecting deception, and (6) interviewing and interrogation techniques. Results revealed substantial cross-national differences. Dutch officers conducted the longest interviews, while Norwegian officers were the most likely to record interviews. The use of suspects’ rights varied significantly, with Spanish officers reporting the highest invocation of the right to silence. False confessions were recognized across all subsamples, though voluntary false confessions were most frequently reported. Except in Norway, investigators significantly overestimated their deception detection accuracy. Overall, coercive tactics were infrequent, and most officers endorsed ethical, rapport-based strategies, aligning with the information-gathering approach. Despite cross-country variations, these findings suggest a broad adherence to non-coercive interviewing methods across Europe.

Underreporting Rate in Hate Crimes in Spain: Why is so High?

2026-04-11T00:01:03Z

[EN] Hate crimes are becoming a significant criminological issue and a priority in many political agendas. One of the biggest problems is the low reporting rate to police all over countries. This article presents results of an online victimization survey conducted by the Spanish National Office against Hate Crimes in 2020-21. The study aims to understand underreporting in the Spanish context, which may be also useful to guide strategies to combat hate crimes with similar characteristics. In this study, we firstly found that only 10% of the victims have reported their crime to the criminal justice system, being therefore around 90% the black figure or base Spanish underreporting rate in hate crimes. Besides, we analysed if there were significant differences between reporting and non-reporting victims in sociodemographic characteristics and specific questions of the survey. Significant differences in the likelihood of reporting have been discovered in the level of education, employment status, having been the victim of a hate crime in the last five years, the relationship between perpetrator and victim, and the seriousness of the crime. With the findings we may understand better hate crimes and lead to better policy strategies to combat intolerance in democratic countries. [ES] Los delitos de odio se están convirtiendo en un problema criminológico importante y una prioridad en muchas agendas políticas. Uno de los mayores problemas es la baja tasa de denuncia a la policía en todos los países. Este artículo presenta los resultados de una encuesta de victimización online realizada por la Oficina Nacional contra los Delitos de Odio de España en 2020-21. El estudio busca comprender esta baja frecuencia de denuncias en el contexto español, lo que también puede ser útil para orientar las estrategias de lucha contra los delitos de odio con características similares. En este estudio se observó, en primer lugar, que solo el 10% de las víctimas han denunciado su delito ante el sistema de justicia penal, lo que representa alrededor del 90% de la frecuencia básica de denuncias en delitos de odio en España. Además, se analizó si existían diferencias significativas entre las víctimas que denuncian y las que no denuncian en cuanto a las características sociodemográficas y las preguntas específicas de la encuesta. Se detectaron diferencias significativas en la probabilidad de denuncia en función del nivel educativo, la situación laboral, haber sido víctima de un delito de odio en los últimos cinco años, la relación entre el agresor y la víctima y la gravedad del delito. Ante estos resultados podemos comprender mejor los crímenes de odio y elaborar mejores estrategias políticas para combatir la intolerancia en los países democráticos.

Mitigación del estrés laboral docente mediante intervenciones psicosociales: evidencia desde una institución educativa colombiana

2026-04-09T00:01:06Z

[ES]El agotamiento laboral del personal docente se reconoce como un problema de creciente relevancia debido a su impacto en el bienestar profesional y en la calidad de los procesos educativos. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar estrategias orientadas a mitigar el estrés en docentes de primaria y secundaria de la Institución Educativa Distrital Los Olivos, en Santa Marta, Colombia, con énfasis en la comunicación efectiva, la inteligencia emocional y las relaciones interpersonales como factores determinantes en la construcción de un entorno laboral saludable. Se empleó un enfoque cuantitativo, de tipo descriptivo y de corte transversal, con una muestra de 19 docentes seleccionados mediante muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. Se utilizó el Maslach Burnout Inventory, que permitió evaluar el agotamiento emocional, la despersonalización y la realización personal, complementado con el análisis de factores psicosociales asociados al contexto laboral docente. Los resultados evidenciaron manifestaciones de estrés relacionadas con fatiga, preocupación persistente y disminución de la energía, así como la influencia de la comunicación deficiente como factor que favorece el incremento del malestar laboral. Asimismo, se observó que el desarrollo de la inteligencia emocional facilita la regulación del estrés, fortalece las relaciones interpersonales y contribuye al mejoramiento del clima institucional. En conclusión, el fortalecimiento de competencias emocionales y la mejora de la comunicación constituyen elementos clave para promover el bienestar docente, prevenir el agotamiento laboral y favorecer entornos educativos saludables.

Relational change in higher education: How students and staff navigate diversity and agency

2026-04-09T00:01:16Z

[EN] Higher education has traditionally been characterized by slow institutional change and entrenched norms, yet recent developments point to growing collective agency among academic staff, administrative professionals, and students. This study examines how different university actors—students, academic staff, and administrative staff—perceive diversity and their own agency in fostering change within higher education institutions. Drawing on Giddens’ theory of structuration and Bourdieu’s theory of practice, it explores how individual and collective actions both reproduce and transform institutional structures. Based on nine focus groups (𝑁 = 56) across three European universities in Austria, Spain, and Lithuania, the research applies a shared coding framework and a mixed‐methods approach, combining qualitative content analysis with quantitative pattern detection. The findings show that perceptions of diversity and agency are shaped more by professional role than institutional context. Students emphasize lived experiences and grassroots activism but feel structurally underrepresented; academic staff frame diversity as a pedagogical responsibility that is constrained by workload and limited institutional support; while administrative staff interpret agency through procedural discretion and professionalism, yet face bureaucratic inertia. Across all roles, the participants reveal a sense of “diversity fatigue,” reflecting the emotional labor of unsupported efforts towards inclusion. The study concludes that meaningful institutional change arises less from formal policy than from relational alignment, mutual recognition, and collaboration among actors, which enables everyday transformations within existing structures

Effects of verbal description and interpolated lineup on photographic person identification

2026-03-24T01:00:52Z

[EN]This study examined the independent and combined effects of verbally describing a target face and conducting a target-absent interpolated photo lineup on accuracy in a subsequent target-present lineup. Four hundred and sixty participants were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: verbal description only, interpolated lineup only, both tasks, or control. After viewing the target face and completing a distractor task, participants performed their assigned pre-identification procedure(s) before a lineup featuring the suspect. Correct rejections in the first lineup successfully predicted correct identifications in the second. A hierarchical log-linear analysis revealed that both verbal description and interpolated lineup, when administered separately, impaired performance in the second lineup; however, no additional decrement emerged when both tasks were combined. Therefore, incorporating a brief verbal description prior to any interpolated lineup is recommended to optimize eyewitness reliability. [EN]Este estudio analizó los efectos independientes y combinados de la descripción verbal de un rostro objetivo y de una rueda fotográfica interpolada con objetivo ausente sobre la precisión en una rueda posterior con el sospechoso presente. Se asignó a los 460 participantes aleatoriamente a una de cuatro condiciones: descripción, rueda interpolada, ambas tareas o control. Tras observar un rostro y completar una tarea distractora, los participantes realizaron la(s) tarea(s) correspondiente(s) antes de una rueda con el sospechoso presente. Los rechazos correctos en la primera rueda predijeron adecuadamente las identificaciones en la segunda. Un análisis log-lineal jerárquico reveló que tanto la descripción como la rueda interpolada por separado empeoran el rendimiento en la rueda 2. Sin embargo, no se encontró un sesgo adicional cuando ambas tareas se combinaban. Por lo tanto, se recomienda incorporar una breve descripción verbal previa a cualquier rueda interpolada para optimizar la fiabilidad de los testigos.

Effects of a Relapse Prevention Program on motivation, relapse, and stress management in correctional settings

2026-02-12T01:01:16Z

[ES]Incarcerated individuals with substance use disorders face a high risk of relapse in the absence of structured, motivational, and context-adapted interventions. This study examined changes associated with the implementation of a Relapse Prevention Program designed to enhance motivation for change, anticipate early warning signs of relapse, and strengthen adaptive coping strategies. The intervention integrated Marlatt and Gordon’s Relapse Prevention Model with the COM-B framework (Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation) and Michie’s Behaviour Change Wheel, constituting an original proposal in prison settings. Results A pre–post quasi-experimental design was conducted with participants from three prison units. Outcome measures included the SOCRATES 8D scale (motivation), the AWARE scale (perceived relapse risk), and the Brief COPE inventory (coping strategies). The findings indicated preliminary improvements in motivation for change, particularly in problem recognition and action steps. Improvements were also observed in adaptive coping strategies, including active coping, positive reframing, and planning. No significant changes were detected in perceived relapse risk. Female participants showed greater improvements in coping strategies and lower post-intervention substance use. Conclusions These findings support the feasibility and clinical applicability of the program in prison settings. The results underscore the importance of integrating emotional regulation components and a gender-responsive perspective into relapse prevention programmes for incarcerated individuals with substance use disorders.

El rol de la mujer en la autoatención y la integración social: el caso del barrio de Pizarrales (Salamanca, España)

2026-01-24T01:01:31Z

[ES] La división tradicional del trabajo por género ha llevado a que las labores de autoatención, esenciales para el desarrollo biosocial, se asignen predominantemente a las mujeres, lo que a menudo resulta en una falta de reconocimiento de su papel en la integración social. Este estudio se propuso investigar los saberes de autoatención que las mujeres de un barrio específico emplean y cómo estas acciones contribuyen a la cohesión comunitaria. Para este fin, se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a 17 mujeres residentes en el barrio. Los hallazgos demuestran que las mujeres son agentes clave en sus comunidades, ya que participan en áreas como la educación, cultura y planificación urbana. EN: The division of gender has promoted that self-care activities for biosocial development are the responsibility of women; however, despite their importance, there is a lack of recognition of their knowledge and the role they play in the social integration of their communities. This study examines what type of self-care knowledge was carried out by women and reflects on how this knowledge shaped social integration in the neighbourhood. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 women residents of the Pizarrales neighbourhood. The article finds that women carried out activities related to education, culture, healthcare, and planning of the urban environment.

Regulating Gambling Use through the Overton Window: From an Addictive Behavior to a Social and Epidemiological Problem

2026-01-23T01:02:28Z

[EN]Abstract: During the last decade, gambling (online and offline) regulation has become a social and epidemiological problem all around Europe. The aftermaths of this addiction have increased since the so-called “responsible gambling law”, in the second decade of the 21st century. The Overton window (OW) strategy is a political theory that describes how the perception of public opinion can be modified so that ideas that are inconceivable for society become accepted over time. The objective of this study is to identify whether an OW has been used to bias the adequacy of the gambling debate, as well as its scientific, legal, and political bases and the main consequences for both the general population and the major risk groups, especially the consequences in social and health contexts. The study was conducted by the application of the historical-logical method as the central axis of analysis and reflection, and the technique of qualitative research content analysis as a procedure in the process of execution of the scientific task, related to a historical trend study of the research object. The main consequences found were: the political acceptance of gambling for economical causes and taxes benefits, the use of popular characters to increase the acceptance of the pattern of behavior, the inclusion of the gambling operators as agents in the risks control, and the absence of intervention until the main consequences have been transformed into an epidemiological problem (with social aftermaths higher than the previously identified related to the gambling problems). Furthermore, the results suggest the need to implement prevention and health promotion strategies and the adoption of specific legal measures that regulate the access and the marketing of gambling operators’ activities.

Assessing the Reliability, Dimensions, and Variance of Young's Internet Addiction Test by Applying it to Adolescents at the National Psychiatric Hospital in Costa Rica

2026-01-23T01:02:25Z

[EN]Background: The Internet Addiction Test (IAT) was the first instrument created specifically to assess Internet addiction (IA). Although it was not validated during its creation, its validity has since been confirmed thanks to subsequent studies. The IAT is the first global psychometric measure tested worldwide that has been used in several studies as a research tool. Regarding the dimensions of the IAT, they were not reported by the creator of the test, during the performed factor analysis. Nonetheless, different studies have defined the test as being one-dimensional and others as having three, four, five, and six dimensions. Methods: In the present study, seven dimensions were identified; however, there is still a lack of consensus about the number of dimensions that accurately define this test. Results: Hence, Young’s Internet Addiction Test presents a shortcoming that may be explained by the influence of several factors such as how it was applied, the place where it was applied, and the population to which it was applied. All of these are factors that could be linked to the sociocultural aspects of the adaptations that have been made to the test. Conclusions: Moreover, the first dimension of the IAT found, the loss of self-control, is extremely important be- *Corresponding author details: José A. Martín Herrero, Department of Social Psychology and Anthropology, University of Salamanca (USAL), 37008 Salamanca, Spain. E-mail: janmartin@usal.es cause it explains 34% of the variance of the data. However, 74% of the variance is explained by applying the 7 dimensions identified in this research. Also, the reliability analysis showed that the IAT is 89% reliable, which indicates that the elements comprising the test used in this research are suitable for measuring the construct of Internet addiction.

Training program on motivational interviewing for prison professionals

2026-01-23T01:02:24Z

[ES]Objetivos: Evaluar el impacto de un programa de formación en entrevista motivacional (EM) dirigido a profesionales penitenciarios, analizando la progresión de la competencia y la adherencia compatibles con los principios de la EM, así como la reducción de prácticas no compatibles. Material y método: Estudio cuasiexperimental longitudinal con medidas repetidas en tres momentos a lo largo de cuatro meses. Participaron 25 profesionales penitenciarios en un programa formativo de tres fases. Se utilizó una versión traducida al español del cuestionario Motivational Interviewing Assessment: Supervisory Tools for Enhancing Proficiency (MIA:STEP), desarrollado por la Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), mediante autoevaluación. Los análisis incluyeron: el análisis de varianza (ANOVA, analysis of variance) de medidas repetidas, el test de Friedman, el tamaño del efecto (η2) y la potencia observada. Resultados: La adherencia no compatible con EM disminuyó significativamente (p <0,001, η² = 0,360; chi cuadrado [χ²] = 20,796, p <0,001), siendo el hallazgo más relevante. La competencia compatible con EM mostró un aumento no significativo en ANOVA (p = 0,138), pero sí significativo en el test de Friedman (χ² = 9,621, p = 0,008). La adherencia compatible con EM tuvo un aumento inicial (p <0,001, η² = 0,267), seguido de una disminución (χ² = 9,939, p = 0,007). La competencia no compatible con la EM incrementó significativamente entre los momentos inicial y final (p = 0,012, η² = 0,169; χ² = 9,711, p = 0,008). Discusión: El programa demostró ser eficaz en reducir significativamente la adherencia no compatible con EM, consolidándose como el principal logro. Aunque la adherencia compatible con EM presentó fluctuaciones y la competencia compatible con EM mostró una progresión diferenciada según la prueba estadística utilizada, los resultados reflejan un aprendizaje progresivo y áreas de ajuste. La validez ecológica del diseño refuerza la aplicabilidad de los hallazgos, proporcionando evidencia sobre el impacto de la formación en EM en contextos penitenciarios. El estudio fue aprobado por el comité de ética de la Universidad de Salamanca (CEISH). [EN]Objectives: To evaluate the impact of a motivational interviewing (MI) training program for prison pro-fessionals by analyzing the progression of MI-compatible competence and adherence, as well as the reduction of non-compatible practices. Material and method: A longitudinal quasi-experimental study with repeated measures was conducted over four months at three time points. A total of 25 correctional professionals participated in a three-phase training program. A Spanish-translated version of the Motivational Interviewing As-sessment: Supervisory Tools for Enhancing Proficiency (MIA:STEP) questionnaire from Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) was used for self-assessment. Statistical analyses included repeated measures ANOVA, Friedman’s test, effect size (η²), and observed power. Results: Non-compatible adherence to MI significantly decreased (P <0.001, η² = 0.360; χ² = 20.796, P <0.001), representing the most notable finding. Compatible competence in MI showed a non-significant increase in ANOVA (P = 0.138), but a significant improvement in Friedman’s test (χ² = 9.621, P = 0.008). Compatible adherence initially increased (P <0.001, η² = 0.267) but subsequently declined (χ² = 9.939, P = 0.007). Non-compatible competence significantly increased between the initial and final assessments (P = 0.012, η² = 0.169; χ² = 9.711, P = 0.008). Discussion: The program was effective in significantly reducing non-compatible adherence to MI, which emerged as the most substantial outcome. While compatible adherence fluctuated and com-patible competence exhibited a differentiated progression depending on the statistical test used, the findings indicate progressive learning and areas requiring further reinforcement. The ecological validity of the study design strengthens the applicability of the results, providing evidence of the impact of MI training in correctional settings. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the University of Salamanca (CEISH).

Patterns of ICT Use and Technological Dependence in University Students from Spain and Japan: A Cross-Cultural Analysis

2026-01-23T01:02:24Z

[EN]Background: After the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, abusive use of the internet and new information and communication technologies (ICT) among university students was detected. Our research questions were as follows: what has been the impact on the academic performance of university students, and how did the pandemic affect students’ relationship with ICTs? The aim of this research was to explore the use of cell phones and the internet in students from different cultures (Spanish and Japanese) after the pandemic. Methods: This descriptive and exploratory study analysed 206 university students from Spanish and Japanese cultures to understand their perceptions of academic performance after the pandemic, their general use of ICT, and their abusive use of the internet and mobile phones. Instruments included the Internet Overuse Scale (IOS) and the Cell-Phone Overuse Scale (COS), adapted for both Spanish and Japanese populations. Differences between quantitative variables were analyzed using the non-parametric Mann–Whitney U test for independent samples (Spanish and Japanese students or by sex). Contingency tables were created to record and analyse relationships between qualitative variables using the chi-squared test, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results: Approximately 29.6% of participants displayed excessive internet use, while 25.2% showed pathological mobile phone use. A strong association was found between high internet and mobile phone usage. Significant cultural and gender differences were observed, with higher problematic use among Japanese students and female participants. Conclusions: Excessive ICT use remains a concern in university settings, with gender and cultural factors playing key roles. These findings highlight the need for targeted digital well-being interventions.

Proposed therapy for treating dual diagnosis in a prison setting

2026-01-23T01:02:22Z

[ES]Objetivos: Presentar una herramienta terapéutica que combina terapia grupal e individual, y evaluar sus efectos en la reducción del consumo de sustancias, la mejora de los síntomas psicológicos negativos y la disminución de la conflictividad en reclusos con diagnóstico dual. Material y método: Estudio preexperimental mixto, realizado en el Módulo de Enfermedad Mental del Centro Penitenciario de Topas (Salamanca) entre 2017 y 2023, aplicando tratamiento a un total de 54 internos varones, con un máximo de ocho sujetos por año. La intervención incluyó 20 sesiones grupales y cinco individuales por periodo. Se recogió información mediante registros de evaluación inicial, información de sesiones individuales y grupales, y un cuestionario final. Los datos procedentes de todas las sesiones clínicas que sustentan los resultados fueron analizados utilizando un software de análisis cualitativo y cuantitativo. Resultados: Los resultados mostraron una correlación significativa (r = 0,656, p <0,001) entre los problemas de salud mental y el consumo de sustancias. Los códigos más frecuentes en las sesiones fueron “entrevista motivacional”, “aislamiento social” y “prevención de recaídas”. Los análisis cualitativos y cuantitativos indicaron mejoras significativas en la reducción del consumo de sustancias, alivio de los síntomas psicológicos negativos y la disminución de la conflictividad en el módulo. Discusión: La intervención demostró ser efectiva, subrayando la importancia de adaptar e integrar los tratamientos para internos con diagnóstico dual. La constancia en la metodología y la personalización de los temas según las necesidades de los internos fueron factores clave para el éxito del tratamiento. Se sugiere la capacitación específica del personal penitenciario para trabajar el diagnóstico dual y, como futura línea de investigación, evaluar el efecto de combinar este modelo de psicoterapia con tratamiento farmacológico. El estudio fue aprobado por el Comité de Ética de la Universidad de Salamanca (CEISH). [EN]Objectives: To present a therapeutic tool that combines group and individual therapy, and evaluate its effects on the reduction of substance use, the improvement of negative psychological symptoms, and decrease in conflict among inmates with dual diagnosis. Material and method: This is a pre-experimental mixed-methods study, conducted in the Mental Health Module of Topas Prison (Salamanca) between 2017 and 2023, involving a total of 54 male inmates, with a maximum of 8 subjects a year. The intervention included 20 group sessions and 5 individual sessions per period. Data were collected through initial evaluation records, individual and group session information, and a final questionnaire. Data from all clinical sessions supporting the results were analyzed using qualitative and quantitative analysis software. Results: The results showed a significant correlation (r = 0.656, P <0.001) between mental health problems and substance use. The most frequent codes in the sessions were “motivational interviewing,” “social isolation,” and “relapse prevention”. Qualitative and quantitative analyses indicated significant improvements in substance use reduction, relief of negative psychological symptoms, and a decrease in conflict within the module. Discussion: The intervention proved to be effective, highlighting the importance of adapting and integrating treatments for inmates with dual diagnosis. Consistency in the methodology and the customization of topics according to the needs of the inmates were key factors for the success of the treatment. It is suggested that prison staff receive specific training to work with dual diagnosis, and as a future line of research, to evaluate the effect of combining this psychotherapy model with pharmacological treatment. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the University of Salamanca (CEISH).

Mujeres a pie de barrio: nuevas traducciones de los espacios urbanos en clave feminista

2026-01-14T08:44:44Z

[ES]El presente artículo tiene como propósito emprender un viaje interdisciplinar que combina la investigación traductológica y la antropológica, a fin de explorar recientes traducciones feministas de los espacios urbanos. En concreto, se examinará un libro colectivo que recopila las historias de vida, así como las representaciones visuales artísticas, de mujeres destacadas de Pizarrales, un barrio obrero de Salamanca (España). Esta obra, uno de los principales frutos del proyecto etnográfico Las (In)visibles de Pizarrales (2023-2024), se analizará desde las coordenadas de la traductología: dicho enfoque permitirá identificar la presencia de la práctica traslativa en su creación y, como resultado, aportará nuevas lecturas tanto del pasado como del presente del barrio, marcado por la activa participación femenina. ABSTRACT: This article embarks on an interdisciplinary journey intertwining translation studies with anthropology in order to delve into recent feminist translations of urban spaces. Specifically, it examines a collective book that compiles life stories and artistic visual representations of prominent women from Pizarrales, a working-class neighborhood in Salamanca (Spain). This work, one of the main outcomes of the ethnographic project “Las (In)visibles de Pizarrales” (2023-2024), undergoes analysis through the lens of translation studies. This approach unveils translational practices in its creation, offering fresh interpretations of both the neighborhood’s past and present, characterized by active female participation.

Differential Characteristics of Sexual Offences Committed by Minors in Groups Versus Individually

2026-01-10T01:01:57Z

[EN]This study analysed records of sexual offences committed by minor offenders through an examination of the criminological databases of the Spanish Civil Guard between 2015 and 2019. The characteristics of these offences, as well as the profiles of the offenders and their victims, were examined. The results revealed that 19% of these offences were committed by groups of minors. Both group offenders and those who acted alone were predominantly male, with an average age of approximately 15 years, and committed the offences under similar spatial and temporal conditions. Statistically significant differences emerged between the two groups in terms of the types of offences, the involvement of female accomplices, the criminal histories of the offenders, and the age distribution of the victims. This study sheds light on nuanced distinctions within the realm of juvenile sexual offences and underscores the importance of intervention and prevention strategies tailored to the specific characteristics of these offences.
