Cultural Indices

It is commonly assumed that victims’ reporting decision making is contingent upon some special normative and contextual considerations. This study examines the effects of these special considerations on crime reporting practices among victims in Lagos, Nigeria, using the qualitative method. The findings indicate that some special considerations anchored on cultural indices of stigmatization, stereotypes, taboos, tenderness of age, and gender are critical to victims’ decision-making choices for reporting in the study area. Consequently, it is suggested that government should use public enlightenment to make rational than normative thoughts steer reporting among victims for public safety in Lagos, Nigeria.

Increasingly, organizations are oriented towards groups to make decisions. This is because some contextual factors have undergone significant changes. Companies are operating in a competitive, dynamic and complex environment, having to face with unstructured and non-programmed decisions. Organizations are also oriented towards participatory processes in order to benefit from the important advantages that these processes offer. The main goal of the current research is to understand if there is a correlation between group decision-making propensity, age and gender. The motivation for the current research starts from the consideration that the degree of preference for group decision-making processes determines the contribution and commitment of the members, with important consequences on the decisions’ effectiveness. The processing and analysis of the collected data indicate that adults prefer group decision-making processes more than young people and women prefer group decision-making processes less than men.

The Impact

It is estimated that one third of racist harassment incidents is reported in Finland. The percentage of all racist crimes reported to the police is presumably significantly lower. Even though crime reporting in general has been studied, there is fairly little research done on crime reporting of minorities. In this paper register-based data retrieved from the official Finnish police registers is compared with European Union Minorities and Discrimination Survey. The variables examined are age and gender of the victim and relationship between the victim and offender. Based on the data available the impact of these characteristics to exposure of racist crimes is examined by comparing the main differences between Somali and Russian minorities. The results indicate that only small part of the racist incidents is reported to the police in both minority groups and that lower number of racist crimes is actually reported to the police than victims describe in the victimization survey.

Advertising Communication

This research analyzes the sociolinguistics adequacy in advertisements. The analysis aims to observe how far advertising reects the covariation phenomena manifested in the different linguistic levels from the conjunction of certains social and contextual variables. The research aims, somehow, to make it clear that sociolinguistics adequacy in ads can increase the effectiveness of advertising communication. We present a qualitative study of a corpus formed by a total of 60 television commercials, selected taking into consideration age and gender of the speaker as the product or service publicized. On the basis of the results obtained, advertising communication reflects both the genderlect and agelect variation. Also, we have observed dierences in style and therefore advertising includes the diaphasic variation. However, we perceive the transmission of sociolinguistic stereotypes that encourage creation and difussion of certain sociocultural roles.
