Comparing Weighting Approaches in Scalogram Analysis in the Wa Municipality in the Upper West Region of Ghana

This study examined and compared the objectively-weighted, expert-based-weighted and stakeholder-based weighted Scalogram approaches based on their centrality indices and factors considered in assigning weights to the functions. A mixed-method approach, comprising both quantitative and qualitative techniques were employed to gather primary and secondary data for the study. All the three Scalograms with different weighting techniques were analyzed in Microsoft Excel, focusing on centrality and weighted centrality indices and simple linear regression models. The study discovered that the grand total centrality index of the objective Scalogram is 4,105.60, the expert-based Scalogram is 10,294.2 while the stakeholder-based one is 10,429.80. The co-efficients of determination for the three are 0.9892, 0.9757 and 0.9812 respectively, giving explanatory powers of 98.92%, 97.57% and 98.12% respectively. It is recommended that due to resource constraints, planners should rely more on the objective-based approach, followed by the stakeholder-based approach and then the expert-based approach, since the latter approach has rather reduced the explanatory power of population by increasing values of the centrality indices. Again, bottlenecks to the development of Area Council headquarters (intermediate settlements between Wa and lower-level settlements) should be tackled for efficient spatial distribution of functions. The contribution of this article to the spatial and development planning literature is its juxtaposition of the three techniques in Scalogram analysis.

Perfil del modus operandi de los criminales de la extorsión en Caquetá, Colombia

El presente estudio tiene como propósito caracterizar el fenómeno de la extorsión como práctica delictiva en el departamento del Caquetá (Colombia), a partir del perfil general derivado de la identificación de algunas variables que diferencian los modus operandi de los principales autores de este flagelo. Se realizó el análisis de 52 casos de extorsión en la región a partir de la sistematización de las denuncias interpuestas por las víctimas, lo cual permitió identificar las variables que caracterizan el delito. La información fue sistematizada y analizada con el programa Multidimensional Scalogram Analysis (MSA), con el cual se evidencia que el delito de extorsión es estructurado al mostrar similitud en el accionar de los distintos grupos criminales que actúan en la zona, lo que contribuye a esclarecer en cierto grado el responsable y su modalidad extorsiva. Se discute la importancia del análisis centrado en el MSA para la perfilación de la extorsión y sus implicaciones en el esclarecimiento de otros delitos dentro de la investigación criminal.

A multidimensional scalogram analysis of UK acid attacks: exploring the differences and similarities in offending characteristics

Purpose This study aims to determine whether cases of acid attacks within the UK could be differentiated based on the offence characteristics and motivations. Design/methodology/approach The study used a multi-dimensional scalogram analysis (MSA) to examine the similarities and differences between the behaviours that were acted out during the 30 cases. Findings Results found a clear division amongst acid attack offenders through multiple variables, mainly pertaining to whether the attack was predicated and the motivation. This was found to be comparable with instrumental and expressive actions. Practical implications The findings have potential to contribute to psychological theory to categorise and define acid attack offences. This would also greatly assist in suspect prioritisation and other aspects of police investigations. Originality/value Reports of acid attacks within the UK are rising. The motivations behind these offences are predominantly related to gang violence and acts of revenge. However, the current literature around acid attacks has largely focussed on the victim perspective, with little research around offenders and their actions.
