Opis: The thesis analyses the portrayal of internal and external factors that influenced the behaviour of serial killers Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy in Netflix’s show Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and movie Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile. Moreover, the thesis examines the cinematic techniques used to depict Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy in these screen adaptations. It also aims to identify which narrative tools are used in Dahmer and Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile to establish emotional connection between the viewers and the content, contributing to its widespread popularity. Since the thesis focuses on the popularity of true crime content in relation to the perception of serial killers and their personal backgrounds, one part of the thesis explains the growth and development of the true crime genre, while the other part focuses on the portrayal of internal and external factors that define the behaviour of Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy. The thesis adopts a case study method and a qualitative content analysis to identify which internal and external factors are portrayed in Dahmer and Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, while the qualitative content analysis also aims to uncover which cinematic and narrative techniques are used in Netflix’s portrayal of Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer.
Ključne besede: True crime, Netflix, serial killers, external and internal factors, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy.

Opis: Recent advances in deep learning methods have enabled researchers to develop and apply algorithms for the analysis and modeling of complex networks. These advances have sparked a surge of interest at the interface between network science and machine learning. Despite this, the use of machine learning methods to investigate criminal networks remains surprisingly scarce. Here, we explore the potential of graph convolutional networks to learn patterns among networked criminals and to predict various properties of criminal networks. Using empirical data from political corruption, criminal police intelligence, and criminal financial networks, we develop a series of deep learning models based on the GraphSAGE framework that are able to recover missing criminal partnerships, distinguish among types of associations, predict the amount of money exchanged among criminal agents, and even anticipate partnerships and recidivism of criminals during the growth dynamics of corruption networks, all with impressive accuracy. Our deep learning models significantly outperform previous shallow learning approaches and produce high-quality embeddings for node and edge properties. Moreover, these models inherit all the advantages of the GraphSAGE framework, including the generalization to unseen nodes and scaling up to large graph structures.

Opis: People’s fascination with true crime, especially murder, has no limits. True crime is a multi-genre that shares features of journalism and crime fiction and is often associated with murder narratives (Punnett 3). Murley defines true crime as stories of real events, shaped by the authors and imbued with their values and beliefs about these events (6). Moreover, in Biressi’s view, such stories are non-fiction narratives often promoted for entertainment (1). Because of the ever-growing popularity of true crime, my work tried to answer the following research questions: Who are the people that cannot get enough of stories about serial killers? Are there any similarities between true crime, nonfiction, and crime fiction? Which components of the story attract people's attention the most and what are the reasons behind the public's insatiable appetite for true crime? Is it perhaps our desire and need to understand the murderer and the driving force behind their acts? Or do we feel a deeper connection with the victim? What about serial killers allures us?

Opis: Purpose: The technical dimensions of cybercrime and its control have rendered it an inconvenient subject for many criminologists. Adopting either semantic (legal) or syntactic (technical) perspectives on cyber criminality, as theorised by McGuire, can lead to disparate conclusions. The aim of this paper is to examine how these perspectives and corresponding educational backgrounds shape opinions on cybercrime and cybercrime policy. Design/Methods/Approach: To address this research question, we first provide a non-exhaustive review of existing critical literature on a few selected controversial issues in the field, including cyber vigilantism, file sharing websites, and political hacking. Based on these areas, we developed an online survey that we then distributed among students of law and computer science, as well as to a ‘non-cyber contrast group’ including mainly students of philology and philosophy. Findings: Statistical analysis revealed differences in the way respondents approached most of the issues) to most of the issues, which were sometimes moderated by the year of studies and gender. In general, the respondents were highly supportive of internet vigilantism, prioritised the cybercrimes of the powerful, and encouraged open access to cybersecurity. The computer science students expressed a lower fear of cybercrime and approved of hacktivism more frequently, while the law students affirmed a conservative vision of copyrights and demonstrated higher punitiveness towards cyber offenders. Interestingly, the computer science students were least likely to translate their fear of cybercrime into punitive demands. Research Limitations/Implications: The findings support the distinction between various narratives about cybercrime by showing the impact of professional socialization on the expressed opinions. They call for a consciously interdisciplinary approach to the subject and could be complemented by a comprehensive qualitative inquiry in the perception of cyber threats. Originality/Value: The authors wish to contribute to the understanding of the construction of cybercrime on the border of criminal law and computer science. Additionally, we present original data which reveal different views on related issues held by potential future professionals in both areas.

Opis: Purpose: The purpose of the article is to study crime and crime prevention in the rural areas of Krasnodarskyi krai and the Republic of Adygea to make suggestions for how to enhance the public security system. Design/Methods/Approach: The following methods were applied to assess crime in the rural areas of the two Russian Southern regions for the period between 2015 and 2019: a statistical observation, and calculation of a crimes index analysis of law enforcement reports. Findings: In order to ensure public security of the population in rural areas it is necessary to decentralise the crime prevention system in Russia by transferring law enforcement powers to the municipal bodies, by creating municipal police and a system for the re-socialisation of former criminals. Research Limitations/Implications: Crime in the rural areas of Krasnodarskyi krai and the Republic of Adygea depends on the impact of local factors. As a result, the reasons and conditions of similar crimes in the rural areas of Central Russia might differ. Practical Implications: The results could be used by the local authorities in planning crime prevention measures and enhancing crime prevention in the rural areas of the regions under study. Originality / Value: The article is the first study of the criminological characteristics of crime in the rural areas of Krasnodarskyi krai and the Republic of Adygea since 2014, suggesting measures to boost crime prevention with regard to the contemporary socio-economic situation.
