Predicting the Thrill: How Individual and Environmental Factors Shape Thrilling Perceptions of Violent and Non-violent Crime.
Article in Journal of developmental and life-course criminology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study longitudinally investigates how individual and environmental factors predict thrilling perceptions of criminal behavior using a sample of 1009 justice-involved youth (ages 15-21) who were followed over 7 years. Mixed effect regression models indicated that peer delinquency, youth offending, and impulsive-irresponsible traits were associated with thrilling perceptions of both violent and non-violent crime. Comparatively, callous-unemotional traits predicted only the thrill of violent crime but not non-violent crime. Additionally, the association between peer delinquency and the thrill of non-violent crime waned as participants aged, suggesting a decreased susceptibility to peer influence over time. These individual differences, paired with these socially transmitted beliefs from peers, highlight how thrilling perceptions of crime may be reinforced by youth's characteristics or vicariously through their peers. However, while youth may age out of susceptibility to peer influence, these other influences sustained across age. These findings advance our understanding of the persistence and influence of adolescents' experiences in shaping thrilling perceptions of crime, hinting at potential mechanisms that contribute to antisocial behavior.
