Handgun carrying among youth in the United States

Despite a wealth of research finding that adolescents who carry handguns are involved in risky behaviors, there has been little exploration into the heterogeneity of this behavior. Using a pooled sample of 12- to 17-year-olds from the National Study on Drug Use and Health who report past-year handgun carrying (N = 7,872), this study identified four subgroups of handgun carriers: low risk (n = 3,831; 47.93%), alcohol and marijuana users (n = 1,591; 20.16%), fighters (n = 1,430; 19.40%), and severe externalizers (n = 1,020, 12.51%). These subgroups differed on demographic, behavioral, and psychosocial characteristics. Findings are discussed in light of prevention and focused deterrence

Sea Level Rise and Casco Bay’s Wetlands: A Look at Potential Impacts, West Bath Edition

Casco Bay Estuary Partnership looked at the ten of the fourteen municipalities that line Casco Bay to identify potential areas of marsh migration and possible impacts to existing developed areas due to tidal inundation from sea level rise. This is one of a series of ten reports

Dark triad psychopathy outperforms self-control in predicting antisocial outcomes: a structural equation modeling approachseabream

Dark Triad traits and self-control are considered viable causal precursors to antisocial and criminal outcomes in youth. The purpose of the present study is to concurrently compare how Dark Triad traits and self-control differ in terms of predicting self-reported juvenile delinquency, CD symptoms, proactive overt aggression, and crime seriousness. The sample consisted of 567 (M = 15.91 years, SD = 0.99 years, age range = 14–18 years) Southern European youth from Portugal. Structural-equation-modelling procedures revealed that the psychopathy factor of Dark Triad traits presented the strongest significant hypothetical causal associations with the antisocial/criminal outcomes, followed by self-control. Machiavellianism and narcissism presented the lowest causal associations. Our findings indicate that psychopathy, as operationalized in the Dark Triad, concurrently surpasses self-control and the remaining factors of the Dark Triad in terms of predicting antisocial/criminal outcomes in youth. This suggests that behavioral disinhibition, or a core incapacity to regulate one’s conduct, is central for understanding delinquency and externalizing psychopathology. Comparatively, the interpersonal component of dark personality features, such as Machiavellianism and narcissism, are secondary for understanding crime.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Geomorphology and the Effects of Sea Level Rise on Tidal Marshes in Casco Bay

The geomorphology of the Casco Bay shoreline has a profound effect on the size, characteristics and spatial distribution of tidal marshes in the region. Casco Bay’s steep shorelines and narrow, glacial cut coastal embayments provide relatively few opportunities for development of extensive salt marshes. On the basis of area and frequency, tidal marshes in the region are dominated by wetlands that form in glacier‐cut coastal valleys. A smaller but still significant fraction of the tidal marsh area along the Casco Bay shorelines exists in a narrow, discontinuous ribbon of green perched between tidal waters and adjacent hillsides. This unique geomorphic setting means that lessons learned from evaluations elsewhere of vulnerability of tidal marshes to sea level rise provide limited insight into implications of sea level rise (SLR) for Casco Bay’s wetlands
