Mental health diversion and criminal justice outcomes
BACKGROUND: Incarceration of adolescents is associated with a range of adverse outcomes, yet high-quality evidence comparing its effectiveness to non-custodial alternatives is limited. We compared mental health diversion, community-based legal orders, and custodial sentencing in reducing reoffending among justice-involved adolescents. We conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study using linked health and justice records from New South…
Mental health disorders, adverse childhood experiences and accelerated reoffending among justice-involved youth in Australia
BACKGROUND: Mental health disorders and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are known risk factors for youth offending. However, most studies operationalize these factors as static and fail to distinguish between isolated reoffences and escalating patterns of criminal behaviour. The impact of mental health service engagement on interrupting cyclical, repetitive offending also remains unclear. METHODS: We linked offending records (1994-2022) and …
Covid-19 specific anxiety, perceived stress related to missile attacks, and anxiety “episodes”
Findings support an additive pattern, whereby perceived stress from missile attacks contributed to the onset of an anxiety episode over and above the effect of VSA, while VSA predicted the total number of such episodes. Focusing solely on a single, highly salient stressor may hinder clinicians and policymakers' ability to identify the adverse effect of multiple stressors.

Pediatric Pleural Effusion and Pneumococcal Vaccination Trends in the Pre- and Post-Covid Era
Background/Objectives : Pleural effusion represents an accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity, frequently associated with pneumonia. There has been a gradual increase in cases among children in recent years, with a notable rise during the post-pandemic period, potentially due to immune debt, decreased vaccination coverage, and changes in pathogen dynamics. Methods : We enrolled 66 children with pleural effusion treated at the Children's Emer…
Practical issues in conducting distributional weighting in benefit‐cost analysis
A commonly expressed concern about distributional weighting in benefit‐cost analysis is that the informational burden is too high and the practical challenges insurmountable. In this paper, we address this concern by conducting distributional weighting on a number of real‐world examples, covering a range of different types of policy impacts. We uncover and explore a number of methodological issues that arise in the process of distributional weigh…
Baroclinic Tide Generation at the Dolphin and Union Strait in the Southern Canadian Arctic Archipelago
We studied baroclinic tide generation at the Dolphin and Union Strait, a channel in the southern Canadian Arctic Archipelago that consists of a shallow sill. Utilizing both observational data and numerical simulations, we found that, due to the presence of strong stratification in the summertime, baroclinic tides are generated at both M2 and K1 frequencies as a result of the interaction between the amplified tidal currents and bottom topography. …
Criminal justice transitions among adolescents in Australia
This study aimed to identify key transitional pathways in the criminal justice system from adolescence to adulthood and the risk factors associated with the escalation of criminal justice involvement over time. We retrospectively linked offending records from 1994 to 2022 and mental health records from 2001 to 2022 for a cohort of 1556 adolescents identified through four health surveys in New South Wales, Australia. Transition probabilities were …

The Making of a Cold War President
Editor's Introduction: Many thousands of books—more than 40,000 by most estimates—and countless articles have appeared over the past 60 years about the short life and interrupted presidency of John F. Kennedy, the youngest man ever elected as U.S. president. During his presidency he had to contend with two of the most severe Cold War crises—the Berlin crisis of 1961 and the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, both of which came perilously close to prov…

Mental health service contact following release from prison or hospital discharge in those with psychosis
This study suggests that prior offending or a previous prison episode represents a barrier to mental health service contact in the community for those with a FDP. Effective rehabilitation planning while exiting prison and discharge planning from hospital are essential to the successful reintegration of these individuals with a FDP
Reliability of prisoners’ survey responses
Prisoners may have been exposed to serious health conditions while failing to report a history of infection. It may be possible that prisoners do not get tested given the asymptomatic presentation of some conditions, were unaware of their health status, have limited health-service usage preventing the opportunity for detection, or are subject to forgetting or misunderstanding prior test results. These findings demonstrate the importance of the cu…

Parents' malevolent personification of mass vaccination solidifies vaccine hesitancy
Parental hesitancy to vaccinate their children derails the success of mass vaccination campaigns. We examined the effect of parents' personification of the vaccinating agency on vaccine hesitancy (i.e. negative or positive mind change) in 555 parents in a mass wild poliovirus vaccination campaign. Parents were assessed before and after the campaign on attitudes toward vaccination and the vaccinating agency ("The Israeli MoH is caring" vs "hysteri…

A qualitative analysis of contemporary ultra-orthodox rabbinical perspectives on scrupulosity
Scrupulosity is a religiously themed sub-type of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Religious individuals with scrupulosity tend to first turn to clergy for assistance rather than to mental health professionals. This is particularly relevant for Ultra-Orthodox Jewish patients, whose rabbis arbitrate a wide variety of life issues. In the current qualitative study, 15 Ultra-Orthodox rabbis were interviewed regarding their views on scrupulosity and thei…
Eleven Presidents
“‘Ranking the Presidents,’ has always been a Favorite Indoor Sport of history-minded Americans,” the great political scientist Clinton Rossiter once wrote. The problem with the game, as played, is that the participants typically base their rankings on cursory study or superficial impressions. According to Ivan Eland, a veteran of conservative and libertarian think tanks, “even many historians” form their judgments “without carefully examining the…
Deciding What's True
In a journalistic moment like ours, that is, rife with conspiracy theories, one-sided political coverage, and outright fake news—that is, real fake news, not the honest reporting that Donald Trump clumsily tries to dismiss as “fake news”—it may surprise some people to realize that the best, most professional mainstream media outlets are more committed than ever to telling the truth. In recent decades, those outlets have suffered attack from all s…
Recapturing the Oval Office
Recapturing the Oval Office aims to show skeptical social and cultural historians that they can write about the presidency without altering their intellectual priorities or tarnishing their professional prestige. Instead of scorning high-level national politics as anachronistically focused on elite white men, these skeptics, the book implies, should heed its arguments and the work that it samples as guides to integrating Washington, D.C., politic…
A cross-sectional survey of prevalence and correlates of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts among prisoners in New South Wales, Australia
Suicidal ideation and attempts are highly prevalent among prisoners compared to the general community. Assessment of suicide risk is a critical task for mental health clinicians in prisons. Attention should be given to ensuring assessments are gender- and culturally sensitive. Indicators of mental illness may not be accurate predictors of suicide attempt. Indicators of childhood trauma appear to be particularly relevant to risk of suicide attempt…

Theodore Roosevelt and the Image of Presidential Activism
Today, opponents of every president complain that the object of their criticism has prevailed in the public mind through his devious manipulation of the news media-his use (or abuse) of public relations and hype, press management and rhetoric. Hackneyed as this allegation is today, in Theodore Roosevelt's day it was relatively novel. For not until TR entered the White House did American presidents fully exploit the media; not until his presidency…
Have Welfare-to-Work Programs Improved over Time in Putting Welfare Recipients to Work
The authors examine data from 21 random assignment evaluations of 76 experimental welfare-to-work programs conducted in the United States between 1983 and 1998 to determine whether the impacts of these programs on employment improved over time. Welfare-to-work programs have long played an important role in the federal assistance program known as Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), now called Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TAN…

Meta-Evaluation
Numerous programmes designed to encourage welfare recipients to move into work and off benefit have been evaluated in the United States. Many have randomly assigned potential participants into ‘experimental’ and ‘control’ groups to generate unbiased estimates of the effectiveness of the programmes. The results of the evaluations have been selectively influential in shaping policy developments on both sides of the Atlantic, but a thorough understa…
The idea of “the liberal media” and its roots in the civil rights movement
Scholars often ask whether the mainstream news media exhibit a liberal bias, but rarely where the idea of such a bias first came from. This article traces the idea’s origins to the civil rights movement. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, white Southerners grew resentful toward national journalists who covered the movement, whom they saw as advocating desegregation. Losing the battle for public opinion, Southern spokesmen such as Alabama Governor…

Mysticism and psychosis
This paper examines the link between psychosis and mystical study through the cases of four young men who ‘entered the garden’ of Jewish mystical speculation and subsequently became psychotic. The role of such study as a precipitating factor is suggested, as three had no signs of disturbance prior to their mystical studies. All had suffered personal losses, and their choice of mystical texts and rites showed that their attraction to mysticism inc…
Mental illness and rèligious change
Over the last 20 years there has been a revival of interest in orthodox Judaism in Israel. In an area of Jerusalem with a large concentration of academies of study for ‘baalei teshuva’ (those who have undergone change to orthodox Judaism), it was noted that 12.6 per cent of referrals to the community mental health centre were newly religious. These referrals tended to have schizophrenia or severe personality disorders and were less likely than ot…
The Social Experiment Market
In social experiments, individuals, households, or organizations are randomly assigned to two or more policy interventions. Elsewhere, we have summarized 143 experiments completed by autumn 1996. Here, we use the information we have gathered on these experiments and findings from informal telephone interviews to investigate the social experiment market--the buyers and sellers in the market that governs the production of experiments. We discuss ta…
Scrupulosity
The attitudes of Catholicism and Judaism to scrupulosity are presented and the similarity between their management programmes and present‐day behavioural psychotherapy is noted. Two famous cases are presented from 16th‐century Europe and a further four cases from our 20th‐century clinic in Jerusalem. Certain common features are noted, typical of obsessive‐compulsive disorders, while some features, typical of scrupulosity, are best understood by c…

When Welfare-to-Work Programs Seem to Work Well
Of welfare-to-work programs evaluated by random assignment, two stand out as having exceptionally large estimated effects: one in Riverside, California, and the other in Portland, Oregon. The authors use data from 24 evaluations and the tools of meta-analysis to examine why. The findings indicate that the apparently superior performance of these two programs in increasing the earnings of participants is only partly attributable to program design …

Value-Sensitive Psychiatric Rehabilitation
Psychiatric rehabilitation contains value-laden concepts that may be unacceptable to certain cultures and many individuals. The concepts of independence and work are examined in a clash between mental health professionals in charge of national policies in psychiatric rehabilitation in Israel and a rehabilitation center for the severely mentally ill within the ultra-orthodox Jewish community. The government professionals considered that having the…

Multisite Employment and Training Program Evaluations
This paper explores the gains from multiplying the number of sites used in experimental evaluation of the effects of employment and training programs. Using a multilevel (hierarchical) statistical framework, the authors analyze the role of site multiplication in three recent program evaluations. Although several experiments have involved substantial numbers of sites, the potential benefits from such strategies are largely unrealized. The authors …

Inappropriate Comparisons as a Basis for Policy
This paper examines the problem of inappropriate comparisons in evaluating social programs and the erroneous policy conclusions which can be derived from such comparisons. The paper examines two cases from the United States of America which fail to meet the criterion that comparison groups (if necessary after statistical adjustment) should be identical in all essential respects except in their exposure to the program. In the first of the two case…

Measuring the Impact of Nit Experiments on Work Effort
In spite of exhaustive research by many analysts on the data generated by the NIT experiments, uncertainty remains over whether work reductions in the experiments should be considered "large" or "small." The authors of this paper argue that this uncertainty arises in part because different analysts have implicitly measured the responses of different groups of individuals exposed to the NIT treatment. The authors use data from the Seattle-Denver e…

The dissemination and utilization of welfare-to-work experiments in state policymaking
This paper reports the results of a telephone survey of state-level officials as to the influence of evaluations of three state welfare innovations: California's GAIN, New York's CAP, and Florida's Project Independence. The three experiments were known to those interviewed, yet they did not have dramatic, decisive effects on policymaking. However, GAIN and CAP appear to have influenced policymaking in less dramatic and more subtle respects. Much …

Not only has Bush pledged to appoint justices in the mold of the Court’s most conservative jurists, but at the start of his second term he also renominated several controversial lower court judges whom Democrats had successfully opposed. Senate Democrats also show no signs of backing down. Their opposition to Bush’s appellate …

Stigma of mental illness, religious change, and explanatory models of mental illness among Jewish patients at a mental-health clinic in North Jerusalem
During 3 months in 2004, 38 recent referrals to a Community Mental Health Clinic in North Jerusalem, a substantially Ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighborhood, were evaluated by the Explanatory Model Interview Catalogue. This questionnaire, which includes a 13-item scale measuring stigma towards mental illness, was adapted and translated into Hebrew. Patients with a more religious upbringing expressed a greater sense of stigma towards mental illness; ho…
