Roles and Responsibilities of a Coach Developer in a Youth Soccer Organization in the United States
Although coaching has a long history guided by mentorship models, little research explores the role of the coach developer. Existing literature primarily focuses on coach developers outside of the United States working in high performance settings, which may differ from developmental youth sport environments. Therefore, this study explored the roles and responsibilities of a coach developer in a United States youth soccer organization. A two-roun…
Predicting Mexican Migrant Distress in the U.S. During Intense Immigration Enforcement Periods
U.S. immigration policies and enforcement practices make it increasingly difficult for noncitizens to migrate to their countries of origin freely, which has implications for physical and mental distress. This study seeks to answer: (1) how does immigration enforcement impact Mexican immigrants’ mental and physical distress? And (2) what are the consequences of separation from parents for adult Mexican immigrants? Participants ( n = 2,334, 95% mal…

Enhancing Competency-Based Social Work Skills Through Service Learning and Interprofessional Education in a Student-Run Free Healthcare Clinic
Student-run free clinics (SRFC) offer students the opportunity to learn and work with students from other disciplines; however, there is very little research on the benefits of SRFC to social work students. The purpose of this article is to describe the qualitative student outcomes of a service learning (SL) and interprofessional education (IPE) experience in a SRFC designed to enhance the interprofessional competencies of BSW social work student…

Motherhood after Incarceration
Motherhood after Incarceration: Community Reintegration for Mothers in the Criminal Legal System explores the relationships of women with their children immediately after periods of incarceration. The analysis draws on in-depth interviews with 39 women who are mothers and who had recently been released in the Portland, Oregon, metropolitan area. Using data collected from these interviews, the authors address three interrelated questions: (1) How …
Social Characteristics as Predictors of ADHD Labeling across the Life Course
Although originally considered to be a disorder of childhood, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is increasingly being diagnosed for the first time in adulthood. Yet we know little about the social characteristics (race, gender, and social class) of those first labeled in adulthood, how these differ from those first labeled in childhood/adolescence, and whether the ADHD label is applied proportionately across social groups given ADHD…
Social Construction of Mental Illness
A social construction of mental illness approach studies how cultural conceptions and historical eras differently affect how mental illness is defined, understood, and treated. Unlike a biomedical approach, which emphasizes internal individual factors, a social constructionist approach to mental illness emphasizes the importance of cultural definitions and social inequalities in understanding how mental illness comes to be defined. Social constru…
Law enforcement response to mental health crises
Despite having the potential to affect cooperation and support for law enforcement, community preferences for police training are generally unstudied. This paper seeks to understand (1) general community preferences for police training for responding to mental health crises, (2) where the public prioritizes this mental health crisis training relative to racial bias training, and (3) whether these preferences vary depending on respondent demograph…
The Growth, Scope, and Spatial Distribution of People With Felony Records in the United States, 1948–2010
The steep rise in U.S. criminal punishment in recent decades has spurred scholarship on the collateral consequences of imprisonment for individuals, families, and communities. Several excellent studies have estimated the number of people who have been incarcerated and the collateral consequences they face, but far less is known about the size and scope of the total U.S. population with felony convictions beyond prison walls, including those who s…
I'm Not Gonna Be Like 'That Guy
Shock advertising antidrug campaigns pose significant implications for methamphetamine (meth) addicts. In recent years, the Montana Meth Project public service campaign has broadcast a series of advertisements containing shocking and disturbing images of meth addicts in an attempt to prevent meth use. Although intended to warn teens about the dangers of meth, the shock-based advertising reaches another population: meth addicts, unintentionally ex…
A case study of one high performance baseball coach’s experiences within a learning community
The purpose of the present study was to examine the learning experiences of a high performance, head baseball coach within a learning community. We drew upon the barriers and enablers of a learning community to structure the current study's learning community intervention. Our learning community was comprised of one collegiate summer league head baseball coach and three coach educators (i.e. facilitators). Data were collected via eight weekly lea…
Dealers, Thieves, and the Common Determinants of Drug and Nondrug Illegal Earnings
Drug crime often is viewed as distinctive from other types of crime, meriting greater or lesser punishment. In view of this special status, this article asks whether and how illegal earnings attainment differs between drug sales and other forms of economic crime. We estimate monthly illegal earnings with fixed‐effects models, based on data from the National Supported Work Demonstration Project and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Althou…
Law and the Disordered
Race, Gender, and the Social Construction of Mental Illness in the Criminal Justice System
This article tests whether perceptions of 'normal' defendants influence the use of psychiatric evaluations in the criminal justice system. The author theorizes that typifications-or taken-for-granted assumptions-of African Americans as 'criminals' and women as 'mentally ill' will influence court actors' perceptions of the rationality of a defendant's criminal actions. Using case-control sampling methods, the author compiled data from a large Midw…
Citizenship, Democracy, and the Civic Reintegration of Criminal Offenders
Convicted felons face both legal and informal barriers to becoming productive citizens at work, responsible citizens in family life, and active citizens in their communities. As criminal punishment has increased in the United States, collateral sanctions such as voting restrictions have taken on new meaning. The authors place such restrictions in comparative context and consider their effects on civil liberties, democratic institutions, and civic…
The Socioeconomic Determinants of Ill-Gotten Gains
Generalizing from the sociology of earnings attainment, we develop a conceptual model of social embeddedness in conventional and criminal activities to explain illegal earnings among criminal offenders. To isolate the effects of time‐varying factors such as legal earnings, drug use, and criminal opportunities, we use data from the National Supported Work Demonstration Project to estimate fixed‐effects models predicting month‐to‐month changes in i…
National Politics and Resort to the European Commission on Human Rights
An interesting irony of human rights is that the nation-states that are most susceptible to claims of human rights abuses may not be the most repressive nation-states. Pursuing this modern paradox, the purpose of this research is to determine the factors affecting the number of human rights claims brought by citizens in the international arena. We base our theory on an extension of theories of state strength and test it using a pooled time-series…
