This thesis examined the characteristics of persons found NCRMD for sexual offences, their offences, and the degree to which empirically supported risk factors predicted Review Board decisions. Reasons documents dated from 2006 to 2015, and examining index sexual offences were collected from LawSource ©. Search terms were derived from the Canadian Criminal Code (1985, c. C-46), and commonly accepted terminology for sexual offending. Findings suggest that persons found NCRMD for sexual offences present with general and sexual offence specific risk factors for recidivism. However, Review Board decisions were only predicted by factors related to clinical functioning and risk management factors. These findings suggest that further research is needed to examine risk assessment, decision making, and forensic mental health outcomes of persons found NCRMD for sexual offences. Implications for treatment of persons found NCRMD and knowledge dissemination to Review Boards are also discussed.

Juvenile sexual offending is often regarded as a precursor of serious and continued sexual offending in adulthood, but there has been little empirical evidence supporting this assumption. Could juvenile sexual offending be just a ‘passing phase’? The study discussed in this essay follows the criminal career about 1,600 juvenile sex offenders from early adolescence into adulthood. A comprehensive view of the entire criminal career is presented to establish whether juvenile sexual offending is a precursor of continued (sexual) offending in adulthood or if (sexual) offending is non-chronic for most. The sexual recidivists in the sample are identified, and this group is used to establish the risk factors associated with continued sexual offending. These risk factors are compared to the ones used in risk assessment instruments for (juvenile) sex offenders. This study holds crucial information for policy and theory regarding juvenile sex offenders.

Risk of pedestrian while crossing a road section may influence by several factors, including their crossing behaviors which might be difficult to be measured. In this paper, a model using Petri nets is introduced to consider the behavioral factors in measuring pedestrian risk. The crossing scenario of the pedestrian was observed to identify the pedestrian accident event. Sequence of event in pedestrian accident was modeled into Petri Nets elements. The model is designed in the hierarchical structure to consider risk factors related to human behavior, engineering and environment. The analysis of the model provides the numerical value of pedestrian potential risk as they crossed at a signalized intersection. The effect of each factor on the potential risk can be observed through sensitivity analysis.  The use of Petri Nets is a novel approach in predicting pedestrian potential risk through the modeling of pedestrian accident process.

Abstract Mining industry's working milieu is influenced by various hazardous factors. Perhaps in Bangladesh, future working environments will be insecure for the lack of congenial methodology to reduce risk factors of Barapukuria Coal Mine (BCM). Many inconsistencies were found in multi-criteria judgment and resolution problems in mine. The study objective is to amplify with Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)-Genetic Algorithm (GA) method for solving accidental factors identifying problems in the BCM field. Our promised tactics is for risk appraisement at BCM. We are wary of the methodology for risk factors to identify and secure a thriving way for working with better ambience in mining by including year wise accidental data from 2002 to 2012. Our evaluation framework was described with a widespread three layer that analyzed step by step by Microsoft excel and MATLAB software. The weight value and accuracy of the assigned matrix was calculated for the mentioned AHP-GA method. To enhance efficiency, this paper pretends to resolve a multi-decisional puzzle with intimate connection of AHP-GA from the advantage of MCDM, and minimizes the gap of combining GA with AHP for practical application. AHP-GA technique will perform in a fruitful way both on qualitative and quantitative multi-assessment complex solutions in coal mines. In this study, we have elaborated the application of AHP-GA procedure which surrounds the value to enlarge the better decision local option on mining areas for BCM. Finally, we come into view the BCM safety level is inclined to "General" by our proposed novel setting.
