Managing Witnesses

This chapter addresses the management of witnesses. Gathering accurate and reliable information from victims and witnesses significantly influences the positive or negative outcome of an investigation. Properly conducted witness interviews enable investigators to understand what has occurred and allows them to focus on the relevant time parameters of the incident to identify and support other lines of enquiry. Indeed, the aim of the investigator is to try and obtain the most accurate and reliable account in the first instance. The success of an investigation may well be influenced by the standards that are employed in obtaining the first witness account. The chapter then looks at witness identification and the principles of investigative interviewing. It also considers witness assessment and classification; the Mental Capacity Act 2005; the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (SOCPA); and the <italic>Witness Charter</italic> (Criminal Justice System 2009).
Understanding Cybercrime Offending and Victimization Patterns from a Global Perspective

Cybercrime research within criminology and criminal justice sciences has increased over the past few decades, improving the knowledge and evidence-base around cybercrime offending and victimization generally. While earlier cybercrime studies were based primarily in the United States, there has been a recent surge in studies using international samples and multidisciplinary approaches to understand cybercrime patterns. The current issue of the International Journal of Cybersecurity Intelligence and Cybercrime consists of four articles that seek to advance our understanding of cybercrime behaviors from a global perspective. To that end, the objective of this paper is to provide a brief overview of the articles included in this issue. The overview will comprise a summary report of each study’s objectives, main findings, and implications. Exploring cybercrime from an international perspective underscores both the global nature of the phenomena and the need to form deeper insights into its unique properties.
The Impact of Leadership Styles Among UAE Municipalities Employees

Purpose: This research examines the impact of four leadership behavior styles; directive, supportive, participative, and achievement-oriented. These four leadership behavior styles are retrieved from the Path goal theory, which considers the employee motivation determinants by the expectancy theory. Design/methodology/approach: The association between the leadership styles and behaviors suggested by the Path goal theory with employee motivation lacks the role of the entrepreneurial mindset factor, which stands on the thinking that enables the employee to overcome challenges, be decisive, and accept responsibility. This research tests the mediation effect of the entrepreneurial mindset factor to fill this gap and contributes significantly to the knowledge of leadership behavior styles. The study also validates the proposed conceptual framework using structural equations modeling, then uses smart PLS with the data collected from 341 employees from the UAE municipalities to test the constructed hypotheses of this research. Findings: The finding of this research revealed a positive and significant relationship between achievement-oriented style and employee motivation in the municipalities of the UAE, a positive and significant relationship between entrepreneurial mindset and employee motivation in the municipalities of the UAE, a positive and significant relationship between participative style and employee motivation in the municipalities of the UAE and positive and significant relationship between supportive style and employee motivation in the municipalities of the UAE. The mediation effect of the entrepreneurial mindset factor, there was a mediation of entrepreneurial mindset for the relationship between directive style and employee motivation. There is no mediation of entrepreneurial mindset for the relationship between achievement-oriented style and employee motivation, no mediation of entrepreneurial mindset for the relationship between participative style and employee motivation, and no mediation of entrepreneurial mindset for the relationship between supportive style and employee motivation. Research limitations/implications: The employees must be appreciated verbally or in writing for their activities in the municipalities to increase their powers and responsibilities and to provide training and career development opportunities. These are the primary leadership motivational factors that provide employees with psychological and social support rather than economic benefit. It can be stated that psycho-social motivation ties employees more. The findings can assist managers in determining which type of leadership style is most suitable in terms of outcomes, as well as how they can adjust their leadership styles to make them more successful and result-oriented. Originality/value: This research can be the first local empirical research to evaluate the organization's performance relationship between leadership behavior styles and the UAE municipality employees' motivation through an entrepreneurial mindset.
Error Exponent and Strong Converse for Quantum Soft Covering

How well can we approximate a quantum channel output state using a random codebook with a certain size? In this work, we study the quantum soft covering problem, which uses a pairwise-independent random codebook to approximate the target output state of a quantum channel. We establish a one-shot error exponent bound and a one-shot strong converse bound on the approximation error measured in terms of the expected trace distance between the codebook-induced state and the true channel output state. When using independent and identically-distributed random codebook with a rate above the quantum mutual information <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">I(X : B)</i> <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">ρ</sub> , we prove that the error decays exponentially with its error exponent expressed by the sandwiched Rényi information. On the other hand, when the rate of the codebook size is below the quantum mutual information, the error converges to one exponentially fast. Similar results are obtained using a random constant composition codebook, whereas the sandwiched Augustin information gives the error exponent. In addition to the above large deviation analysis, our results also hold in the moderate deviation regime.

Quantum teleportation of W-type states in the presence of a controller

In this paper, we discuss a proposal for the transfer of states belonging to the W-type states by executing a controlled teleportation protocol. A 7-qubit quantum entangled resource shared between the sender, receiver and controller is utilized in this protocol. The scheme proposed here is a perfect communication scheme where the task of quantum state transfer is performed with certainty. Further, a protocol for the generation of the quantum resource used here is designed and run on IBM platform. Additionally, we consider the effect of four types of noises, namely, amplitude-damping noise, bit-flip noise, phase-flip noise and phase-damping noise on our protocol. The efficiency of the protocol is compared with other similar protocols which shows that the present one is better performing.
How a Digitally Enabled Library Affects the Reading Habits and Skills of High School Pupils

The major goal of this study was to determine the impact of four critical school library elements on students' visits to the library, reading habits, and reading comprehension proficiency based on gender and school type. As a sample, the study included 336 pupils from 36 schools in South Sumatra. In this investigation, three instruments were employed. Twelve schools of each kind received a questionnaire regarding the availability of libraries. The pupils were given a reading habit questionnaire and a reading comprehension exam. The results show that the factors of school libraries (total) are significantly correlated with students’ library visits (p&lt;0.000) and with reading comprehension achievement (p&lt;0.01); the contributions of which are 43% and 23.1% respectively. When students’ reading habit and reading comprehension achievement were compared in terms of gender and types of school, the results show that there is no significant difference in reading comprehension achievement between males and females (p&lt;0.095). However, there is a significant difference in their reading attitude and habit (p&lt;0.000). This difference is strongly shown by those students from type B schools with girls having stronger attitude toward and habit of reading. The value of each finding of the study is discussed in relation to the development plan of both school libraries and literacy of the younger generation in South Sumatra. It is concluded that (1) The availability of key library features, such as the purchase or acquisition of current and relevant library materials, adequate service hours, and the availability of information and communication technology (ICT), has an impact on library use; (2) Senior High Schools (SMA) pupils in South Sumatra still have poor reading attitudes, habits, and achievement; (3) Despite having roughly equal reading achievement, males and females have very different reading attitudes and habits; (4) students from schools with accreditation of A have much higher reading achievement than students from schools with accreditation of B or C.
OP01 Would I lie to you? Exploration of COVID-19 test falsification behaviours in England

<h3>Background</h3> A key component for control of COVID-19 transmission was regular testing using lateral flow device (LFD) tests. However<b>,</b> as home self-testing using LFDs became common practice, there was concern that some people were falsifying test results. Responses to direct questioning surveys that probe sensitive behaviours are often compromised by social desirability bias. Indirect questioning techniques such as the extended crosswise model (ECWM) control for this by increasing perceived and actual anonymity of respondents. Additionally, the ECWM can detect whether the obtained estimates are trustworthy. This study is the first to examine prevalence of COVID-19 LFD test falsification behaviours by comparing estimates obtained through DQ and the ECWM. <h3>Methods</h3> In an online questionnaire delivered by YouGov, we surveyed 1,577 adults living in England who had used LFD self-test. Participants were randomly allocated to either the DQ group or the ECWM group and asked about four types of falsification behaviours. The ECWM condition comprised of a non-sensitive question paired with a sensitive question (behaviour of interest) that prompted respondents to answer the two simultaneously. <h3>Results</h3> DQ method underestimated the prevalence of three falsification behaviours: reporting a negative test result when none was conducted (5.7% DQ vs 18.4% ECWM); reporting a positive test result as negative (4.6% DQ vs 11% ECWM); and reporting a positive test after producing a fake positive test (1.7% DQ vs 6.4% ECWM) – p &lt; 0.001 for all three. ECWM analysis indicated that the prevalence estimates for the fourth behaviour (sharing information of the LFD test kit with someone) were unreliable. <h3>Discussion</h3> Findings suggest that prevalence estimates of falsification behaviours obtained via DQ were influenced by social desirability bias. The ECWM appeared to have been successful in controlling for this bias, resulting in higher prevalence estimates of behaviours for which self-reports are the only source of information. We also demonstrated ECWM’s ability to assess the reliability of the prevalence estimates. However, indirect questioning methods such as the ECWM do require a large sample size, and data can only be analysed at group level. <h3>Conclusion</h3> It is important to acknowledge the potential influence of social desirability bias when examining personal behaviours, such as those recommended for health protection during a pandemic. Indirect questioning methods like the ECWM can lead to more realistic and reliable prevalence estimates. Future research assessing prevalence of (non)adherence to behaviours possibly affected by social desirability could consider indirect questioning methods.

The Specifics of the “Russian Signature” Examination

The fundamental practical objective of handwriting examiners is the identification of the author of a particular handwritten text and signature. The identification of a signature, i.e. the fact of its inscription by an individual to whose name it has been ascribed, has always been significant in the application of the law. However, in recent decades as the economy has changed this issue in Russia is becoming especially relevant. A signature found to be counterfeit may cause a criminal case to be opened and subsequent punishment to be imposed on the wrongdoers and it may play a key role in establishing truth in civil law disputes. The identification matters are dealt with daily by handwriting examiners from various expert institutions in Russia. Furthermore, forensic examiners in Russia rely on the forensic handwriting examination theory and the scientific theory that dates back to the 60s and 70s of the XX century. Knowledge of the evolutionary history of an object of examination, in our case its signature, may not be seen as a mandatory condition. However, such knowledge would enable a practicing forensic expert to study the subject matter of his research more profoundly and comprehensively and get to its roots, which, we believe, is necessary for the successful work of an expert.
CO-CREATING AN ORGANIZATION-WIDE PEDAGOGICAL PROGRAM IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Higher education is expected to prepare students for the future and develop their competences for dealing with rapidly transforming working life.The substantial changes in the digitizing, networking, and globalizing society and working life have recently challenged the pedagogical approaches of higher education institutions.At the same time, the tightening education policy and diminishing funding of HEIs require more efficient and effective educational processes.New ways of teaching and learning are also needed to ensure the well-being of the higher education community and the joy of learning.These remarks led to a year-long open and co-creative process at Laurea University of Applied Sciences in Finland to construct a pedagogical program that brightens the collective aspiration to renew teaching and learning.The purpose of this paper is to describe the process of co-creating an organization-wide pedagogical program and to show the first outcomes of that process.The still ongoing process has progressed through an open dialogue in small thematic groups and collective co-creative workshops.The core working group has involved about 100 persons in different positions in the organization.The first outcomes of the design process describe how the selected pedagogical choices will manifest themselves in the year 2025 at four levels: at the organizational level, degree programme level, study unit level and student level.The co-creative process and vivid discussions during the process facilitate the organization-wide transformation that the new pedagogical program requires.
THE NATURE OF METACOGNITIVE LANGUAGE AND NETWORKING: DEVELOPMENT OF THE THEORY OF METACOGNITIVE LOCALE

Theoretical developments in education research have established, almost parallel, two strands of theories: theories of networks (e.g., gestalt theory, social network analysis and micro-triad analysis) which explain social interaction among students and theories about meta-cognitive function (e.g.metamemory, metacognition and metarepresentational) which explain the inner workings of the mind.This split between theories (one form focusing on networks and the other on meta-cognition) leaves little room for advancing our understanding of metacognition as a social construct since no theory exists for explaining the relationship between networks and metacognition.In this paper, the author explore four propositions derived from metacognition research to propose a local theory.The four propositions are:(1) metacognitive knowledge, (2) regulation, (3) metacognitive language and (4) networking as constructs of this theory.In particular, the theory of metacognitive locale explains the nature of metacognitive language and metacognitive networks as contextualized in a mathematics education methodology course.Video recordings of lesson study experiences of two groups of final year students were analyzed through social network analysis to visualize their social interaction, and coded inductively to identify specific phrases through which they express their thinking.The results show constructs of metacognition, metacognitive language and metacognitive networking emerge on a social, interpersonal and social-metacognitive stratum which brings the two strands of theories together, thereby narrowing theoretical divide.
