The Role of Internal Control on Financial Fraud: Evidence of Pre-Fraud and Post-Punishment from Chinese Firms

ABSTRACT Our study is the first to provide systematic evidence of the internal control (IC) prevention and punishment effect on financial fraud (FF). We examine the pre-fraud and post-punishment IC of Chinese firms. Results show that the lower the firm’s IC, the greater the possibility of FF. We find that IC five elements have different prevention effects. Information and communication cannot prevent FF, while the other four can. Executive compensation, audit fees and earnings management can weaken the negative correlation between IC and FF, while independent director attendance can strengthen the negative correlation between them. In addition, the IC of fraudulent firms has been improved after punishment. This article extends the role of IC and its five elements in FF and the response of IC to punishment, providing country-specific evidence for other emerging market research about IC prevent FF.

Lingering shadows of childhood corporal punishment: Family trajectories across decades

AbstractObjectiveCorporal punishment is the most common form of violence against children worldwide. This study adopts a life course perspective to examine associations between childhood corporal punishment and distinct multi‐decade family trajectories from young adulthood to middle adulthood in China. Specifically, it examines how childhood parental punishment shapes later family life course trajectory patterns, incorporating partnership, marriage, and fertility outcomes, and considers different sources of punishment (maternal and paternal) and potential gender differences (sons and daughters).BackgroundAccumulating evidence reveals that corporal punishment is not only unnecessary as a disciplinary technique but also harmful to children. This evidence has led to a worldwide movement to eliminate any non‐accidental use of physical force against children. However, previous research often assesses isolated family outcomes without considering family development as a dynamic and interconnected process, resulting in an ambiguous understanding of childhood corporal punishment's long‐reaching influence on unfolding family pathways.ResultsResults uncovered both stability and diversity in Chinese family trajectories, with the majority following stable marital norms. Experiencing childhood corporal punishment increased the odds of an early unstable trajectory characterized by divorce and remarriage. Moreover, the implications of childhood paternal punishment appeared more wide‐ranging than maternal punishment in terms of sorting into normative versus atypical family trajectory patterns. Childhood maltreatment also overrides influences of child gender, similarly impacting future family trajectories across genders.ConclusionThis research highlights the profoundly disruptive effects of corporal punishment on family development throughout the lifespan, carrying important implications for fostering healthier and more resilient families.

Health impact of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act in Korean occupational settings

Abstract Background Interrupted time series analysis serves as a valuable study design for assessing the efficacy of public health interventions implemented at a specific moment in time at the population level. We aim to elucidate the effects of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act implemented in February 2021 in Korea by analyzing changes in the incidence rates of occupational diseases. Methods The monthly data from patients with occupational diseases was extracted from the National Health Insurance Service Cohort database from 2011 to 2023. An Interrupted time series analysis with Poisson segmented regression was used to compare the rates before and after the Serious Accidents Punishment Act introduction in both outpatients and inpatients. Adjustments or stratification variables included sex, age, company size, and injury-related international classification of diseases codes (Injury, poisoning, and certain other consequences of external causes, S00-T88). Results Based on injury rates, men’s inpatient injury rates remained stable, but outpatient rates decreased after the act implementation, while women’s injury rates consistently declined in both inpatient and outpatient settings. The Interrupted time series regression analysis indicates that the Serious Accidents Punishment Act led to a significant reduction in both outpatient and inpatient injury rates for men and women, with a marked decline in outpatient rates and hospital admissions among women post-intervention. Conclusions The Interrupted time series regression results suggest that the Serious Accidents Punishment Act has been effective in reducing injury-related healthcare usage, highlighting the necessity of gender-specific interventions and the potential impact on lowering inpatient visits, although causality remains uncertain without further analysis. Key messages • The Serious Accidents Punishment Act significantly reduced occupational injury rates in Korea, especially among women, demonstrating effective public health intervention. • Interrupted time series analysis reveals Serious Accidents Punishment Act’s impact on reducing healthcare usage for occupational injuries, highlighting the need for gender-specific approaches.

Influence of punishments associated with task outcomes in physical and mental efforts performed by semi-elite soccer players during training tasks

ABSTRACT Punishing application associated with the task outcomes is a familiar strategy used by soccer coaches during training, but it has been mainly remained in the research background. To date, no previous studies have addressed the effects of punishments on soccer players’ physical and mental efforts during on-field training sessions. Voluntarily, 40 semi-elite male soccer players from two Spanish teams of the same club participated in the study (M age = 22.90 yrs, SD = 5.60 yrs), performing two training sessions with the same tasks, but different in the use or non-use of punishments associated with the task outcomes. Physical load was registered using Polar Team and Ratio of Perceived Exertion. Mental load was estimated by the NASA-Task Load Index and mental fatigue was collected using a Visual Analogue Scale. A portable eye tracker was used to seek the effects of punishment manipulation on ocular metrics. After training, players achieved higher values of peak and mean heart rate, peak and mean speed, distance/minute, and number of sprints at the session with punishments, compared to the session without them. The punishments also influenced participants’ eye movement metrics because changes were found in pupil diameter, latency and velocity of saccades, and number of saccades and blinks when compared to the two training sessions. However, no differences were found between sessions for subjective mental load and fatigue variables. These findings have practical implications to the design of soccer training tasks because this emotional constraint influenced the physical load and objective mental load of the soccer players, but not their subjective measures of mental load and fatigue.

Returning to Motherhood: Post-Incarceration Reintegration and Mothering for Justice-Involved Black Women

Feminist criminologists have centralized gender’s importance in studying justice-involved women’s lives, but understanding how socio-cultural expectations and racialized constructions of motherhood affect post-incarceration reintegration is lacking. Extant research overlooks the consequences of incarceration for poor, Black mothers. To rectify this gap, this paper uses qualitative data collected from semi-structured interviews and participant observation with 12 formerly incarcerated Black mothers residing in a large urban city in the midwestern United States. This article fills this gap by using an intersectional framework to illuminate the conflicts between their lived experience as women with criminalized social identities and the societal expectations placed upon them as women and mothers. Findings reveal that post-incarceration reintegration reintroduces stressors associated with mothering while also magnifying the effects of criminalization, punishment, and resource constraints for justice-involved women and mothers.

The Effectiveness of Extinction and Negative Punishment to Eliminate the Behavior of Rejecting or Choosing Certain Foods in Picky Eaters

The Effectiveness of Extinction and Negative Punishment to Eliminate the Behavior of Rejecting or Choosing Certain Foods in Picky Eaters

Evaluation of potential punishing effects of 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine (DOM) in rhesus monkeys responding under a choice procedure.

There has been substantial and growing interest in the therapeutic utility of drugs acting at serotonin 2A subtype (5-HT 2A ) receptors, increasing the need for characterization of potential beneficial and adverse effects of such compounds. Although numerous studies have evaluated the possible rewarding and reinforcing effects of 5-HT 2A receptor agonists, there have been relatively few studies on potential aversive effects. The current study investigated punishing effects of 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine (DOM) in four rhesus monkeys responding under a choice procedure in which responding on one lever delivered a sucrose pellet alone and responding on the other lever delivered a sucrose pellet plus an intravenous infusion of a range of doses of fentanyl (0.1-3.2 µg/kg/infusion), histamine (3.2-100 µg/kg/infusion), or DOM (3.2-100 µg/kg/infusion). When fentanyl was available, responding for a pellet plus an infusion increased dose dependently in all subjects, indicating a positive reinforcing effect of fentanyl. When histamine was available, responding for a pellet plus an infusion decreased in three of four subjects, indicating a punishing effect of histamine. Whether available before or after histamine, DOM did not systematically alter choice across the range of doses tested. These results suggest that the 5-HT 2A receptor agonist DOM has neither positive reinforcing nor punishing effects under a choice procedure that is sensitive to both processes.

Recent research on response disequilibrium theory: A concise review.

A resurgence in research on response disequilibrium theory has prompted a concise review of the literature from the past 5 years. Response disequilibrium, also known as response deprivation, attributes reinforcement and punishment effects to constraints on free-operant baseline levels of behavior. By describing clinically relevant behaviors in terms of instrumental and contingent activities, researchers and practitioners can predict intervention outcomes with a disequilibrium model. We summarize the empirical outcomes of disequilibrium-informed interventions across six articles and discuss areas of future research.

PROBLEM ASPECTS OF ACHIEVEMENT OF CRIMINAL PUNISHMENT GOALS

The authors of the article consider the key problematic aspects affecting the achievement of the goals of criminal punishment in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The main attention is paid to the issues of the effectiveness of punishment, the problems of the resocialization of convicts and the functioning of the penitentiary system. Nowadays, we are witnessing a constant increase in the crime rate, both in the world as a whole and in Kazakhstan in particular. The criminal community is becoming more organized and professional, their fields of activity are expanding, and more and more people are becoming part of the criminal environment. This trend is accompanied by the low efficiency of judicial institutions for the protection of citizens' rights and the destruction of the crime prevention system, which forces the population to conclude that it is necessary to strengthen repressive measures to counter crime. However, despite the importance of punishment in the prevention of criminal offenses, there are two main strategies in the criminal policy of Kazakhstan: tougher responsibility for serious crimes on the one hand and the use of more humane non-custodial penalties for less serious offenses on the other hand. The authors propose specific mechanisms for improving the goals of criminal punishment and designing a system of types of punishments. When determining punishment, the court should be guided by the norms of the Criminal Code, which define the system and types of punishments, as well as the principles and basic rules for its appointment. The article analyzes the current system of punishments, identifies its shortcomings, and suggests ways to eliminate them. As part of this analysis, it is proposed to amend and supplement a number of norms of the Criminal Code.

The Impacts of Corporal Punishment on Students in Schools: An investigation through Sindh Province

The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of corporal punishment on students, with a particular focus on students in grades 9 and 10 at the chosen boys' schools in the Hyderabad area. The study also aimed to determine the nature, sorts, and effects of corporal punishment on students. Finding the social and other effects of physical punishment on the pupils in the aforementioned classrooms was the main goal of the study. This study is the first of its kind in Hyderabad district. There were 500 parents, instructors, and students in the sample overall. It was shown that physical punishment remained a barrier to the development of positive teacher-student relationships, character development, a decrease in the rate of dropouts, a discouragement of the learning environment, a negative opinion of teachers, and a decrease in students' enthusiasm in their studies. Furthermore, pupils' hostile attitudes and anxiousness were primarily brought on by corporal punishment, which also reduced their academic performance and caused psychological damage. The analysis suggests that physical punishment be outlawed and that the current legal framework be strictly enforced. Through training programs, teachers must be made aware of the detrimental effects of corporal punishment. The study goes on to say that in order for children to engage in healthy extracurricular activities and create a learning environment for themselves, there needs to be a supportive school environment.

Motivations and perspectives on the use of corporal punishment at home: A qualitative study of Ghanaian parents

BackgroundThe Convention on the Rights of the Child acknowledges the fundamental rights of children. Despite the adverse effects of corporal punishment, it continues to be prevalent, especially among sub-Saharan African countries, including Ghana. ObjectiveThis study explored whether parents ever used corporal punishment on their children at home and their motivations for doing so. It also explored whether parents perceive corporal punishment as a violation of children's rights and their views on continuing or discontinuing corporal punishment at home. Participants and settingThis study involved (100) parents across the ten regions of Ghana. MethodsA semi-structured interview guide was used to conduct interviews with parents. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data using the aid of QSR NVivo version 10. ResultsAll parents reported that they had ever punished their children. Three sub-themes emerged under the motivation of parents to punish their children. These include (a) building a sense of discipline in the child to prevent future misbehaviour, (b) releasing frustrations on children, and (c) toughening up the child to confront life challenges. Also, parents had mixed opinions on whether corporal punishment violates children's human rights and whether corporal punishment should be practiced at home. ConclusionsThis study demonstrated that parents perceived corporal punishment as beneficial for their children's development. There is a need for community mobilisation programmes to change parents' and society's attitudes, norms, and beliefs regarding corporal punishment.

Behavioral and Emotional Responding to Punishment in ADHD: Is Increased Emotionality Related to Altered Behavioral Responding?

Children with ADHD are theorized to experience increased negative emotional responses to punishment, compared to typically developing (TD) children, resulting in altered behavioral responding (Amsel, 1992). However, this has not been empirically tested. The current study evaluated the effects of punishment and reward on the behavioral and emotional responding of children with and without ADHD. Fifty-three children with ADHD (64.15% boys) and 46 TD children (47.83% boys), age 6-12, completed a task in which they chose between playing two simultaneously available games. Reward was arranged symmetrically across the games; responses on one game were punished four times as often as responses on the other game. Children's negative and positive emotional expressions were assessed during task completion with facial expression coding. Results indicated both groups showed a preference for playing the less punished game. Children with ADHD took longer to respond after punishment and reward compared to TD children. Negative emotional expressions increased with time on task for those with ADHD, the opposite pattern was seen in TD children. Children with ADHD showed more positive emotional expressions overall. The effect of ADHD on increased response times after reward was statistically fully mediated by increased positive facial expressions. Findings indicate children with ADHD do not show an altered response bias under punishment compared to TD children, but their cumulative negative emotional responding may indicate problems with building frustration tolerance as hypothesized by Amsel (1992). Results are theoretically important as they suggest increased emotional responding in ADHD is associated with slower responding.

Quality supervision mechanisms on green product for online retailing in the blockchain technology era.

With the development of e-commerce and the increase of consumers' green consciousness, more and more consumers purchase green products online. The frequent occurrence of the fake green product in online shopping has been harmful to the management and operation of the online market. In order to find the ways for the platform to supervise effectively green products quality problems, we consider the role of blockchain technology, the dynamic penalty mechanisms, the three strategy choices of seller, and the green awareness of consumers, and establish a supervision game model with the participation of online platform, online seller and consumer, which analyzes the equilibrium state of the three parties. The results show that (1) the level of the consumers' green awareness, the compensation for green consumers, and the cost saved by non-green products are the critical factors to ensure the effectiveness of the platform punishment mechanism; (2) the combine effect of dynamic punishment and blockchain supervision can effectively and rapidly improve the quality of green products; (3) the improvement of consumers' green awareness can drive sellers to sell green product, and makes the platform to strengthen the supervision of fake green products.

Questions and Responses to the Legitimacy of Criminal Reconciliation: The Approach is Based on the Valueless Behavior

The process of promoting the construction of the rule of law in China, there have been emerging legislation, there are also behind the abolition of legislation, criminal reconciliation system through legislation also formally entered the investigation stage in China. But at the same time, the controversy about this system has never stopped, and the important status of money, a sensitive thing in criminal reconciliation, makes the public full of doubts and incomprehensibilities about this system. From loss reduced the things appear in the beginning, some scholars begin to looking for reliable for its legitimacy basis to prove the existence of this system is reasonable, until the system has the breakthrough on the legislation, but not for the public's confusion a systemic response and cracking. valueless behavior theory in considering the twin issues of legal interest undermines the effectiveness of criminal punishment as a deterrent, rendering it less impactful compared to alternative approaches. Consequently, within the framework of such punitive measures, accommodating a criminal reconciliation system becomes challenging.
