“…the knife) and blunt things (e.g. the hammer) are the most commonly used improper weapons in criminal episodes (for Italy see 70 ; for the U.K. see 71 ; for South Korea see 72 ), while the chisel and pliers are much less used in harmful events 15 . The overall higher dangerousness of the knife and hammer might also be due to associated perceptions of higher severity of injuries caused by these objects 15 , 73 .…”

“…1944); People v. Smith, 104P.2d 510 (Cal.1940)), with firearms being associated with premeditation 11 and knives with impulsivity 14 . Both proper and improper weapons are conceived as potential bearers of awful outcomes (hazard) with a variable chance of occurring (probability), based on their physical properties, such as the presence of a sharp or blunt surface 15 , and may be associated to variable levels of risk, defined as the product of severity of consequences and probability 19 . Their use and possession are thus restricted in public places or transport.…”

According to legislation, objects are typically classified as weapons if they are offensive per se (referred to here as proper) and if they are adapted for use as weapons or carried with the intent of causing injury (referred to here as improper), with specific regulations on their usage and possession in public spaces. However, little evidence exists on the validity of this distinction in psychology, despite a widespread recognition of the importance of psychological states and subjective perceptions in risk assessment. We conducted an online survey to evaluate hazard perceptions in relation to three dimensions (dangerousness, frequency of events, controllability) of three object categories: proper weapons, improper weapons, and everyday objects. The data from our 300 respondents reveal that the three categories of objects differ from one another on the three dimensions. Moreover, hazard perceptions differ between males and females for improper weapons but less so for proper weapons. These findings suggest that proper and improper weapons are two psychologically distinct categories, albeit with fuzzy boundaries. Investigations into their differential properties may thus help improve risk assessment in security contexts.

“…The interested reader will find the general features of stabbing damages in the established literature. Carr et al review some of this literature in a publication where they aim to increase the awareness around the use of edged weapons for forensic scientists [ 17 ]. Their publication covers a review of the available information regarding the use of such weapons (frequency of incidents, stabbing mechanisms, anatomical target) and regarding textile damages and stab wound injuries but also adds insights in different grips of a knife.…”

Мета: здійснити опис клінічного випадку проникаючого поранення, нанесеного за допомогою ножа, з подальшим його застряганням в структурах лицевого скелета Опис випадку: ми здійснюємо опис вихідної ситуації, процесу видалення стороннього тіла та післяопераційного періоду за допомогою двовимірних та тривимірних зображень з комп’ютерних томограм, а також клінічних фотографій. Висновок: ми описали історичні аспекти проникаючих ножових поранень лицевого скелета, звертаючи особливу увагу на біомеханіку таких ушкоджень, а також здійснили огляд літератури, що описує шляхи та наслідки лікування таких травм.
