色花堂app

This fall, Dr. DJ Williams, Professor of Sociology, Social Work, and Criminology at 色花堂app, was invited to present research at a prestigious international security conference. The conference was attended by leading intelligence and medical officers. This year 32 countries were represented.

Williams was invited to present at the conference based on his team鈥檚 research findings: 鈥淲anting sex and willing to kill: Examining demographic and cognitive characteristics of violent involuntary celibates鈥� and 鈥淓xtreme Sex-Negativity: An Examination of Helplessness, Hopelessness, and Misattribution of Blame Among 鈥淚ncel鈥� Multiple Homicide Offenders,鈥� which were published in the journals Behavioral Sciences & the Law and the Journal of Positive Sexuality, respectively.

Williams鈥� research team included Michael Arntfield (Western University, Canada), Kaleigh Schaal (Northwestern University), and Jolene Vincent (Troy University).

Williams was a main speaker at the invitation-only event. During the conference, presenters discussed new cases, emerging  research, and assessing security threats and risk.

Williams explains his work and research interests as exploring how people use crime as a form of leisure. 

鈥淚鈥檓 at the intersection of forensic sciences, sexuality, and leisure,鈥� Williams says. 鈥淚t was great to be in London. Our work was very well received.鈥�

Williams says that this project was his most emotionally difficult research to date. The team went through media, police reports, interviews, and social media accounts with the goal of identifying thinking patterns and psychological traits. They discovered that there was a certain cluster of distorted thinking patterns common across the sample. 

Williams hopes that his teams鈥� research can contribute to reducing crime. He sees a possibility for individuals to get intervention and help before violent acts are committed. He also says that the research is dispelling stereotypes of fear. 

鈥淲e don鈥檛 want to stigmatize people,鈥� he said. 鈥淢any of the online incel community appear to be shy, have social anxiety, and have past experiences of being bullied.

"The problem is when an individual has a certain cluster of thinking patterns that was discovered in the study, along with extreme feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, anger, and revenge.鈥�
