This article delineates the development of a methodology for evaluating social programs for the elderly in 60 community centers in Israel. Two theories of aging were applied to the results of a smallest space analysis, and eight potential program types were identified. Centers were found to function primarily in an activity perspective on aging. Expansion of service to include a disengagement view was positively correlated with ease of access to the facility and program longevity.

Smallest Space Analysis

Despite the alarming nature of homicides in which the offender meets the victim online, or cyber-initiated homicides, little empirical attention has been devoted to this phenomenon. The present study was designed to explore the behavioral patterns found prior to and during a cyber-initiated homicide event. Data on 61 homicide cases from various countries were collected through news media and legal sources. Smallest space analysis revealed that cyber homicides were characterized by four distinct themes: excessive violence, fatal escalation, crime-related incidents, and predatory behavior. Implications of the findings and avenues for future research are discussed.
