Följande kriminologiska studie redogör för individers utsatthet och deras riskbeteende kring oron för kort- och/eller kreditbedrägerier. Syftet med undersökningen har varit att undersöka människors oro att bli utsatta för kort- och/eller kreditbedrägeri på internet, tidigare utsatthet för bedrägeri och riskbeteenden över internet. Material till studien har samlats in med hjälp av en digital enkät som varit tillgänglig i olika Facebook-grupper och för individer i författarnas närhet. Totalt har enkäten genererat 308 självrapporterade svar. Med hjälp av det statistiska dataprogrammet SPSS har studien kunnat genomföra statistiska metoder. Resultatet visar att det föreligger ett positivt samband mellan oro och den egna tidigare utsattheten samt utsattheten i närmaste krets. Sambanden är signifikanta i såväl den bivariata som den multipla analysen, även om den är starkast i den förstnämnda. Avseende sambandet mellan oro och riskbeteende föreligger en positiv riktning som i den multipla analysen inte kunde säkerställas statistiskt. Trots detta ger sambandet en indikation på hur riktningen ser ut. Samtliga samband har även försvagats i den multipla analysen, vilket kan bero på effekten av de oberoende variablerna samt att det kan finnas andra faktorer som förklarar sambanden. Studiens resultat kan vidare förstås utifrån teorin om risksamhället, rutinaktivitetsteorin och tidigare forskning. Trots att studien har en del begränsningar har den bidragit med kunskaper inom det kriminologiska fältet genom att ge en bättre uppfattning om oron kring brottstyperna kort- och/eller kreditbedrägeri samt faktorer som påverkar oron. Avslutningsvis har studien endast skrapat på ytan, vilket ger stöd åt att det finns behov att ytterligare studera ämnet. / The following criminological study describes individuals’ vulnerability and their risk behavior when it comes to card and/or credit fraud. The purpose of the study has been to investigate people's anxiety about being exposed to card and/or credit fraud on the internet, previous exposure to fraud and risky behavior over the internet. The data for the study has been collected through a digital survey which was shared in various Facebook-groups and distributed through individuals close to the authors. In total, the survey generated 308 self-reported responses. With the help of the statistical analysis software SPSS, the study has been able to implement statistical methods. The results show that there is a positive connection between anxiety and one's own previous exposure to fraud, as well as if persons in the immediate circle have been exposed. The correlation is significant in both the bivariate and the multiple analysis. Regarding the correlation between anxiety and risky behavior, there’s a positive direction that couldn’t be ensured in the multiple analysis. Despite this, the connection gives an indication of what the direction looks like. The relations are less strong in the multiple analysis, which may be due to the effect of the independent variables and that there may be other relevant factors. The results of the study can also be understood on the basis of the theory of the risk society, the routine activity theory and previous research. Although the study has some limitations, it contributes to the research in the criminological field as it provides a better understanding of individuals' concern related to card and/or credit fraud and factors affecting the perceived concern. In conclusion, the study has merely scratched the surface, and provides support for continued studies on the subject.

In current time we experience deeper and deeper indebtedness of Czech households and their deterioration into insolvency on one side, on the other side among Czech population was identified a very low rate of financial literacy in the last few years. As a result of these two findings a hypothesis was created that behind the high indebtedness stands the low financial literacy of population and that it is possible to fight indebtedness by increasing financial literacy. The thesis main target is to analyze approach of Czech Republic to financial literacy, particularly as to a tool of prevention of indebtedness of households. Simultaneously its target is to reveal relation between financial literacy and indebtedness. According to these reasons the thesis is based on several theoretical outcomes - the theory of prevention of risky behavior, the theory of financial education as a prevention from hazard and from the theory of implementation as a part of public policy cycle. Examined problem is defined using analysis of indebtedness of Czech households, determines the occasions and results of this risky behavior; and through delimitation issue of financial literacy. Thesis provides a synthesis of knowledge as options and limits of financial literacy in the fight with increasing indebtedness. Empirical part...

Black men who have sex with men (MSM) on Historically Black College/University (HBCU) campuses face a unique set of challenges. In addition to being disproportionately affected by HIV, Black MSM are impacted by risk behavior, stigma, and environmental policies and practices that adversely influence their experiences. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of Black MSM at a HBCU and how stigma, culture, social practices and the collegiate environment impact HIV risk-taking behavior. Utilizing the ecological framework and qualitative analysis, the behaviors of 13 Black MSM on a HBCU campus were examined. Personal interviews and risk assessment questionnaires were analyzed utilizing the phenomenological inquiry method. Data were inductively coded and combined into themes using a qualitative data analysis computer software package. The findings revealed that these 13 participants perceived that HIV-related risk behavior is occurring. They also noted a stigma within the current culture and expressed feelings of marginalization and a negative campus climate from students in the sexual majority. Implications for improving social change from this research include opportunities to (a) establish a culture of social responsibility and consciousness related to the integration and socialization of Black MSM; (b) dialogue regarding the campus climate; and (c) address conscious, unconscious, individual, and environmental stigmas experienced by Black MSM attending this HBCU.

BAKGRUND: Ungdomar med psykisk ohälsa är en utsatt grupp i samhället med större risk för ohälsa.SYFTE: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att ta reda på hur psykisk ohälsa påverkar ungdomars sexuella riskbeteenden.METOD: Litteratursökning genomfördes i databaserna PubMed, Cinahl och Cochrane för att hitta studier som undersökte påverkan av psykisk ohälsa hos ungdomar och deras utsatthet för sexuella riskbeteenden.  RESULTAT: Psykisk ohälsa hos ungdomar bidrar till en tidigare sexualdebut, fler sexuella partners, oskyddade sexuella kontakter och en ökad risk för könssjukdomar. Det kan även bidra till att ungdomar använder sex som självmedicinering och kombinerar det med alkohol och droger. SLUTSATS: En ökad kunskap kring hur psykisk ohälsa hos ungdomar påverkar deras sexuella riskbeteenden kan öka förståelsen för deras mående och bidra till att vårdpersonal som möter dessa ungdomar kan hjälpa till att fånga upp ungdomar med ökad risk. Att ge mer utbildning och stöd till ungdomar med psykisk ohälsa kan vara ett sätt att minska riskbeteenden. / BACKGROUND: Adolescents with mental health issues are part of a vulnerable group in society with a higher risk of health complications.AIM: The aim of this review was to see how mental health affects adolescents and their sexual risk behaviors.METHODS: A search in the databases PubMed, Cinahl and Cochrane were executed to find relevant articles that studied mental health in adolescents and their sexual risk behaviors. RESULTS: Mental health issues in adolescents can lead to an early sexual debut, a higher number of sexual partners, unprotected sex and a higher risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection. It can also lead to adolescents using sex as a form of self medication and that they combine it with alcohol or drugs.CONCLUSIONS: Expanded knowledge about how mental health in adolescents affects their sexual risk behaviors can raise the comprehension of their health and help the medical professionals who care for these young people to identify those with a higher risk. More education and support for the adolescents with mental health issues could be a way to decrease their sexual risk behaviors.
