Case Study

[edit source]

It may be beneficial if you included a case study, there are many good cases. One very famous case was Venable and Thompson. --U3177510 (discusscontribs) 12:40, 30 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Dark Triad

[edit source]

Hi I would also look at the dark triad and other ways of looking at anti social personality disorder. --U3185008 (discusscontribs) 12:08, 30 August 2020 (UTC)u3185008Reply

Hello! I found this Tedtalk that could be an interesting external link, or possibly even a source of information that can be researched further for your book chapter! I hope this helps: https://www.ted.com/talks/jim_fallon_exploring_the_mind_of_a_killer#t-368799 --U3160224 (discusscontribs) 05:36, 24 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I thought this study was an interesting aspect on the ethical implications is research surrounding the disclosure of a child's death, hope it can add something to your chapter. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/50303417_Disclosure_of_child_murder_A_case_study_of_ethical_dilemmas_in_research --U3160493 (discusscontribs) 08:08, 30 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi i found this research article on the prevention of these crimes. Check it out! https://doi-org.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/10.1037/cpp0000064 --U3202324 (discusscontribs) 06:15, 24 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi I think you would enjoy reading the Wiley International Handbook of Correctional Psychology (Devon et., al 2019). There are some really good chapters. --U3202324 (discusscontribs) 06:15, 24 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Dark Triad and Juvenile Crime

[edit source]

Hey! I found this article on the dark triad and crime, relating to juveniles and psychopathy that you might find interesting. https://journals-sagepub-com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/doi/full/10.1177/1541204016667995 --U3193728 (discusscontribs) 11:50, 24 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Social Learning Theory

[edit source]

Hey, Highly recommend looking into Bandura's modelling behaviour. Mary Bell is a child serial killer with evidence to support her behaviour could have been modelled after her mother. Mary is now a grandmother and has been completely rehabilitated for many years. --Ciara Holmes (discusscontribs) 00:50, 28 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Headings/Page set out

[edit source]

This topic looks really interesting, and I think you will be able to go really deep into the motivation of child homicide. May I suggest making your heading clear, and removing any brackets to clarify what you mean by your heading. You will be able to explain in the paragraphs --U3190522 (discusscontribs) 10:36, 30 August 2020 (UTC)Reply


Omitting 'what is motivation' section

[edit source]

Hi. I noticed you made motivation a section of its own when just above it you have reserved a place to explain child killer motivation. I think it would be better if you explain both in the same section. I do not think it is necessary to diffentiate them. --Fiddausi Husseini (discusscontribs) 10:21, 13 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Headings

[edit source]

Hi, your page looks great but it would be better if the headings were clearer.

Social contribution

[edit source]

i found this article that seemed like an interesting insight to this topic, they claim to be using a unique qualitative methodology which could be an interesting angle. Jung, K., Kim, H., Lee, E., Choi, I., Lim, H., Lee, B., ... & Hong, H. G. (2020). Cluster analysis of child homicide in South Korea. Child Abuse & Neglect, 101, 104322. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chiabu.2019.104322

James Bulger Case

[edit source]

Hi! This topic is really interesting and it may be helpful to use case studies throughout. One case that is particularly shocking / interesting that I thought may be good to share with you is the case of James Bulger (aged 3) who was abducted and murdered by two ten year olds. The events that lead to his death are horrific and it is shocking to know children are capable in planning such acts. This happened in 1993, and at the time was the youngest ever murder conviction. There are plenty of documentaries on this case but there is also a wikipedia page which may be of use to add to your "see also" list of your book chapter.

The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez

[edit source]

Hey there is this documentary on netflix about a kid abused by his parents which led him to his death if you wanted to mention this case? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Gabriel_Fernandez (discusscontribs) 14:24, 17 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Heading casing

[edit source]
FYI, the recommended Wikiversity heading style uses sentence casing. For example:

Self-determination theory rather than Self-Determination Theory

Here's an example chapter with correct heading casing: Growth mindset development

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this chapter does a reasonably good job of applying psychological theory and research to a real-world problem.
  2. Addressing the topic development feedback could have helped to improve this chapter.
  3. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.
  1. Relevant theory is reasonably well explained.
  1. Overall, this chapter provides a good overview of relevant research.
  2. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is very good.
    2. Internationalise: Write for an international, not just a domestic audience. Australians make up only 0.32% of the world human population.
    3. Use 3rd person perspective rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you")[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes.
  2. Layout
    1. See earlier comments about heading casing.
    2. Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections.
    3. Format bullet-points and numbered lists, per Tutorial 1 (e.g., for the See also section).
  3. Learning features
    1. Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles.
    2. No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
    3. Basic use of image(s).
    4. Basic use of table(s).
    5. Excellent use of feature box(es).
    6. Very good use of quiz(zes).
  4. External links
    1. Provide links have been removed
    2. Instead, provide links which are relevant to an international audience
    3. Instead, provide working hyperlinnks, not just a list
  5. Grammar
    1. Check and make correct use of commas.
    2. Check and correct use of that vs. who.
    3. Check and correct use of semi-colons (;) and colons (:).
    4. Abbreviations
      1. Check and correct grammatical formatting for abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e.., etc.).
  6. Spelling
    1. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour).
  7. Proofreading
    1. Remove unnecessary capitalisation (e.g., Country -> country).
  8. APA style
    1. Direct quotes need page numbers and double quotation marks. Direct quotes are over-used. A better demonstration of knowledge involves generating new text.
    2. Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    3. Figures and tables
      1. Use APA style for Table captions. See example.
      2. Refer to each Table and Figure using APA style (e.g., check and correct capitalisation).
    4. Citations are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct citation of multiple sources within parentheses.
      2. If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year. For example, either:
        1. in-text, Smith et al. (2020), or
        2. in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020)
      3. Multiple citations in parentheses should be listed in alphabetical order by first author surname.
      4. Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets.
    5. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation.
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation.
      3. Include hyperlinked dois.
  1. No logged social contributions.
