    The Intersection of Health and Justice: An Evaluation of Mental Health First Aid Training for Justice-involved Professionals
    SAGE Publications ; 2023
    In:  Police Quarterly
    Details
    In: Police Quarterly, SAGE Publications
    Abstract: Where historically justice and behavioral health professionals have functioned independently in systems that often collide, the ability to provide community behavioral health training to justice involved professionals may lead to enhanced public safety and decreases in incarcerations. This study evaluated the impact of the Mental Health First Aid program completed by 85 justice professionals. Study participants completed a questionnaire before and after the training to assess the impact on knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs. Findings suggest the training reduced stigmatizing attitudes and improved participants’recognition of mental health disorders, self-confidence in providing help, and intent to help. The results of this study provide preliminary evidence supportive of justice communities investing in the Mental Health First Aid training consistent with the International Chiefs of Police Association’s commitment to the “One Mind Campaign” to ensure that justice professionals have the skills to safely and responsibly meet the needs of people with mental illness

    Abstract: This article describes the Juvenile Justice Educational Enhancement Program’s implementation of an evaluation research–driven quality assurance process for Florida’s juvenile justice educational programs. The article reviews the prior literature on promising juvenile justice educational practices and describes the educational quality assurance standards and annual modifications that draw from these promising practices. Included is description of the associated quality assurance, technical assistance, and corrective action processes that are used in the effort to ensure quality and accountable juvenile justice education. Quality assurance is argued to be a fundamental and necessary component to both the Juvenile Justice Educational Enhancement Program’s evaluation research and accountability functions.

    Minority threat, community disadvantage and sentencing
    Emerald ; 2018

    In: Journal of Criminological Research, Policy and Practice, Emerald, Vol. 4, No. 4 ( 2018-12-03), p. 213-225
    Abstract: Prior studies of criminal sentencing have largely focused on individual-level predictors of sentencing outcomes. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of a variety of theoretically derived community measurements of social threat and disadvantage on the criminal sentencing of convicted felons. This analysis permits an evaluation of whether legal ideals such as equality before the law and policy goals of equal treatment for like offenders are achieved. Design/methodology/approach The study examines data of individuals sentenced in the state of Florida and community level measurements of racial and ethnic threat and community disadvantage. Hierarchical generalized linear model is used to analyze the effect of these measures on the dichotomous in/out imprisonment variable, and standard hierarchical linear regression analysis is used to model the continuous dependent variable of sentence length. Findings The results provide support for the racial threat perspective though not for ethnic threat nor community disadvantage. The findings and their implications are discussed in terms of theory, research and policy. Practical implications Racial disparity in criminal justice practices is receiving increasing public and policy attention, as evidenced by the growing Black Lives Matter movement. Regarding sentencing, racial disparity remains a major research and policy question. While the current research and theoretical literature on sentencing is not conclusive, it is clear that race matters. As a result, racial disparity in sentencing needs to be a priority in subsequent “transitional criminology” efforts between researchers and policy makers to identify, explain and ultimately predict exactly how race impacts sentencing, and how to reduce it as a consideration from sentencing. Originality/value This study contributes to a growing body of literature that examines the social context of punishments by using several community level measurements of threat and disadvantage, while modeling the two-step sentencing outcome of imprisonment and sentence length.

    The culture of sport: examining the effect of athletic participation on the acceptance of rape myths
    Emerald ; 2024

    Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between athletic participation and the acceptance of rape myths in an effort to further identify cultural and social institutions that may contribute to adherence to and glorification of rape culture. Design/methodology/approach A random sample of 685 first semester, university freshmen were surveyed about their high school sports participation and levels of rape myth acceptance (RMA). Linear regression models were estimated to examine the relationships between participation in sports, the type of sport participation and the acceptance of rape myths. Findings Those involved in athletics, generally, and those involved in team sports are more accepting of rape myths than are their counterparts. These results hold true for the full sample and for males and females, when examined separately. Participation in contact sports was not significantly predictive of RMA. Practical implications Athletics may provide a culture that is particularly prone to a belief in rape myths, which jeopardizes the integrity of collegiate sports. Policies should focus on changing offender behavior not victim behavior to create safer and more inclusive communities. Educating youth about the nature of rape myths and providing them with skills to resist such thinking is paramount. Focused programs and training could reduce the likelihood of accepting rape myths and, in turn, may make high school and college campuses safer. Originality/value This paper contributes to prior research by examining a sample of first semester university freshmen about their high school athletic participation and RMA. This research not only minimizes the effects of college level influences but also distinguishes between different forms of athletic involvement.

    Measuring Health in Jails: Limitations and Opportunities in Measurement of Health-Related Constructs

    Abstract: Limited research exists concerning measurement issues of health-related constructs among those incarcerated in American jails. This gap in the literature impedes research on health outcomes and health care access among jailed populations and may render the public health concerns of jailed populations hidden from societal view. The current article examines a research team's experience in conducting a related study (see Trotter et al. 2018) by highlighting the methodological limitations and opportunities faced during the study and provides suggestions for future research. The manuscript provides future researchers with a foundation for implementing health-focused studies within a jail, with special attention paid to the obstacles the research team overcame.

    Punitiveness and Perceptions of Criminality : An Examination of Attitudes Toward Immigrant Offenders

    Abstract: This study examines the effect of the residency status (undocumented immigrant, refugee, or U.S. citizen) and the country of origin-ethnicity of an offender on perceptions of criminality and on the level of punitiveness expressed by a random sample of college seniors attending a southwestern university. A factorial survey design was administered asking respondents to apply a punishment (incarceration or no incarceration) and to rate the level of criminality of a hypothetical offender. Results showed that while there were no differences in perceptions of the degree of criminality across the various offenders, there was significant variation in the severity of punishments meted out by the respondent based on offender country of origin-ethnicity. Moreover, an interaction effect was discovered, whereby the effect of residency status on punitiveness was dependent on the country of origin-ethnicity of the offender. It appears, then, that punitiveness is not uniformly directed toward all immigrants but is reserved for ethnic “others.”
