Exploring the Good Lives Model Concepts among an Ethnically Diverse Sample of Forensic Clients
The increasing ethnic diversity in Europe’s forensic population challenges culturally sensitive rehabilitation. The Good Lives Model, a strengths-based rehabilitation framework promoting well-being and desistance, provides a universal structure but shows potential for cultural adaptation. This study explores the emic dimensions of the GLM’s core concepts and assumptions—primary goods, secondary goods, strengths, and obstacles—among ethnically div…

Maternal and Paternal Parenting and Maltreatment in Relation to Callous-Unemotional Traits in Detained Male Adolescents
This study investigated the relationship between parenting practices, childhood maltreatment (CM), callous-unemotional (CU) traits, and conduct disorder (CD) symptoms among 275 detained adolescent boys (M age = 16.96). CU traits, and paternal and maternal parenting were assessed via self-report questionnaires. A diagnostic interview was used to assess CD symptoms. Regression analyses revealed that harsh parenting and physical maltreatment were po…
Safety First! Residential Group Climate and Antisocial Behavior
A systematic review and multilevel meta-analysis was performed (28 studies and 313 effect sizes) on the relation between residential group climate (i.e., safety, atmosphere, repression, support, growth, structure) and antisocial behavior, including aggression and criminal recidivism. A systematic search was conducted in PsychINFO, ERIC, and OVID Medline up to February 2023. Results showed a small but significant association ( r = .20) between res…
Systematic Aggression Registration in Forensic Psychiatric Care
Available research emphasizes the importance of getting a systematic overview of inpatient aggression in forensic psychiatric care. However, the same research does not focus on how systematic aggression registration should be introduced in clinical practice. To facilitate the use of systematic aggression registration instruments, it is very relevant to gain insight into the perspective of staff members on the introduction of these instruments in …
Supporting second chance education
In many Western societies, earning a degree is considered an ultimate educational achievement. Second chance education (SCE) serves as a distinct pathway for those who have dropped out of school, allowing them to re‐enter the educational system. Understanding the specific obstacles and needs of students in SCE is crucial for providing better‐tailored support. However, limited knowledge exists about the challenges faced by students seeking to enro…
The man with a plan
This article explores the implications of the 2004 Norwegian substance treatment reforms for social work. It considers power dynamics in social, political and economic contexts. The reforms aimed to address the absence of consensus and oversight in the Norwegian drug treatment system and to enhance accessibility and individualised care for people with substance use disorders. Using a genealogical approach and a theoretical framework based on Mich…
The Voices of Minor Children of Parents With a Mental Illness or Addiction
This qualitative evidence synthesis aims to show how the agency and voices of minor children of parents with a mental illness (COPMI) or with an addiction (COPA) are represented in existing qualitative research. A thematic analysis was conducted to analyse the parts of the articles reporting on the voices of COPMI/COPA themselves (e.g., through interviews with them). Special attention was given to how the authors of the different articles represe…
The roles Second Chance Education can play as a learning environment
In current Western societies, the number of students dropping out of school is high. At the same time, the importance of education is well-documented, leading to an increase in Second Chance Education (SCE) initiatives as an alternative way to obtain a degree. However, little is known about the roles SCE can play as a learning environment for students ‘dropping in’ SCE, beyond mere degree attainment. Therefore, this study aims to shed light on th…
Hitting the road together
One of the key factors in providing high-quality support in residential youth care (RYC) is developing a positive living climate. The role of group worker and his/her elaboration of the pedagogical praxis are particularly relevant in this regard. Despite its importance, the development of this pedagogical praxis in the current relational and societal context seems to be under pressure. In this study, we aim to investigate how care workers cultiva…
An appreciative inquiry into foreign national prisoners’ participation in prison activities
This article presents the findings of 51 interviews with foreign national prisoners in Flanders (Belgium). Following an appreciative inquiry stance, the aim is to understand how foreign nationals experience (accessibility to) prison activities (for example, education, work, sports activities and worship) and to investigate if and how this differs between foreign-speaking and Dutch-speaking foreign nationals. A thematic analysis of the interviews …
Formerly Detained Adolescents’ Narratives
In recent years, a growing trend to consider strengths and protective factors in studies on desistance from crime has emerged. The present study explores three formerly detained adolescents’ narratives, aiming to tease out how Quality of Life (QoL) and desistance interact in pathways towards a “better life.” The narratives suggest that the journey towards a better life is highly individual, and may unfold via multiple pathways characterized by an…
School dropout as the result of a complex interplay between individual and environmental factors
School attendance problems and school dropout are recognised as a major concern by researchers, policymakers, practitioners and the wider society. Although research acknowledges the multi-faceted complexity of dropping out of school, only a limited number of studies have focused on the perspective of support workers (e.g., teachers, social workers, school management, student coaches, policymakers, researchers, labour consultants and psychologists…
A practice-based approach toward school dropout
Dropping out from school is considered to be a cumulative process of disengagement and it remains a serious concern for educational communities. Current research on school dropout focuses mainly on risk factors and developing evidence-based prevention and intervention programs, although the effectiveness of these programs is not unequivocal. This study aims to disentangle knowledge from experts by experience (i.e., practice-based evidence) about …
Looking beyond primary barriers
Worldwide, students with a migration background are over-represented in statistics of early school leavers. Too often, educational inequalities are attributed to culture as the primary barrier to successful educational outcomes. This group tends to be regarded as potential dropout students, culminating in stigmatization and stereotyping biases. This qualitative study evaluates the perspectives of support workers using 15 in-depth interviews that …
A Qualitative Study on Young Women’s Lives Prior to and Four Years after Youth Detention
Detained female adolescents constitute a vulnerable, challenging, and understudied minority. Interventions for DFA are still dominated by risk management approaches with less focus on strength-based approaches such as the Good Lives Model (GLM). This study explored the functionality of DFA's behaviour prior to and four years after release from detention, using the GLM as the guiding theoretical framework. A theory-driven thematic analysis was con…
Peer support as a bridge for participation in prison activities and services
This paper investigates the role of informal peer support as a bridge for participation by foreign national prisoners in prison activities (e.g. education, work, sports activities, library) and services (e.g. psychologist, doctor). A total of 51 individual interviews, following an appreciative inquiry perspective, were conducted with foreign nationals in four prisons in Flanders (Belgium). In terms of leading foreign nationals to prison activitie…
Foreign national and ethnic minority prisoners’ participation in formally organized occupations in prisons
This scoping review investigated foreign national and ethnic minority prisoners’ participation in formally organized occupations (prison activities) such as active citizenship, healthcare and treatment, leisure time, and reintegration occupations. It aimed to: (1) map available studies on both groups of prisoners’ participation in these occupations within prisons, and (2) evaluate existing research topics on participation and types of occupations…
Developing a positive living climate in residential youth care
Citizenship, disability rights and the changing relationship between formal and informal caregivers
Citizenship and rights conventionally refer to the ways in which the relationship between the individual and the state is constructed. These concepts concern the vital political and democratic values of freedom, equality and solidarity. As realising the citizenship and rights of disabled people has become an explicit aim of many western democratic governments, we explore in this article how these notions are encompassed in the formal rhetoric of …
Questioning the professionalization of recovery
While the recovery concept strongly resonates in clinical mental health care today, it first arose in service user-led contexts. A major risk of this professionalization shift is that recovery primarily becomes defined by treatment providers. This study aims to keep the debate on recovery alive through a collaborative exploration of Pete’s recovery process by means of a bricolage approach. This resulted in an idiographic portrait of Pete’s experi…
Conceptualisation and Measurement of Quality of Life Based on Schalock and Verdugo’s Model
Developing a positive living group climate in residential youth care
In residential youth care, a positive living group climate is one of the main pillars for having a child grow up and develop optimally. Despite its importance, the development of a positive living group climate seems to be “under pressure,” due to recent evolutions in residential youth care all over the world. This article describes what could be learned from a project focused on monitoring the living group climate in a residential youth care ser…

Factors related to the quality of life of older prisoners
Between ‘believers’ and ‘opponents’
Practices in the field of children’s rights presuppose an agreement on what children’s rights are. Consequently, the implementation of more children’s rights is logically better for children. But is this really the case? In this paper, we try to answer this question critically. The problem with this question however is that from the outset, it becomes overshadowed by a highly polarised discussion between what Stammers (2009) calls ‘uncritical pro…
Regranting identity to the outgraced – narratives of persons with learning disabilities
Good research should be relevant and useful, it may even be enlightening or symbolic, but it can also be emancipatory. Qualitative research can be useful in challenging structures, policies and practices that disempower and marginalize segments of the population. However, could it be that the empowerment of the participant ends where the weakness of the researcher begins? In qualitative studies the researcher seems to have a number of favourite i…

Children’s rights education and social work
Despite the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the interest in developing a theoretical grounding for children’s rights education seems to be rather limited. This article argues for a better understanding of children’s rights education as a distinctive practice in social work. Two different conceptions of children’s rights education are identified: as an implementation strategy and as social action. Their releva…
Cultural responsiveness in substance‐abuse treatment
As a result of the growing number of ethnic and cultural minority clients in substance‐abuse treatment during the last decades, a culturally responsive approach has become more and more imperative. In this article the statements (n = 1330) of professionals (n = 11) and clients (n = 11) representing the substance‐abuse treatment centres in the region of Ghent and its suburbs (Belgium) are analysed. In focus are the specific treatment needs of ethn…

The Development of the Therapeutic Community in Correctional Establishments
Background: The correction-based therapeutic community (TC) is one of the most described treatment modalities for (substance abusing) incarcerated offenders. The origins and development of the therapeutic community have been traced back to two independent traditions: the American hierarchical conceptbased TC and the British democratic Maxwell Jones-type TC. Both branches have developed independently, targeting different people and tackling divers…
Max Weber and Alfred Schutz
The case-oriented quantification approach behind the software program winMAX is, according to its founder, Kuckartz, based on the methodological and theoretical work of Max Weber and Alfred Schutz. This claimed connection is not, however, explained in depth in the author's available scientific literature. This article clarifies the methodological and theoretical backgrounds to winMAX, with special focus on the influence of Weber and Schutz. It be…
A Review of Children’s Rights Literature Since the Adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child
Children’s rights have become a significant field of study during the past decades, largely due to the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in 1989. Today, scholarly work on children’s rights is almost inconceivable without considering the Convention as the bearer of the children’s rights debate. The goal of this article is to critically explore academic work on the UNCRC. By means of a discourse analysis o…
