The Impact of the Correctional Ecosystem on Bullying Victimization Among Incarcerated Juvenile Offenders in Taiwan
This study employs a correctional ecosystem perspective to examine how individual factors (impulsiveness and depression), interpersonal interactions (staff–inmate relations and peer relations), and correctional subcultures (inmate subculture, bullying subculture, and power imbalance) shape bullying victimization among incarcerated juvenile offenders. Using survey data collected in 2015 from 1,045 incarcerated youths across four Taiwanese juvenile…
The Impact of a Work Release Program on Post-Prison Recidivism in Taiwan
Extensive research has consistently demonstrated that gainful employment after incarceration is a critical factor in supporting the successful reintegration of formerly incarcerated individuals into society. While recent studies conducted in Western contexts have shown that work release programs (WRPs) facilitate this reintegration, their effectiveness in reducing recidivism remains largely unexplored in Asian societies. This study analyzes archi…
Violent Victimization Histories and the Victim-Offender Overlap among Incarcerated Youth
This study examines the victim-offender overlap among incarcerated youth in Taiwan’s juvenile correctional facilities, focusing on how violent victimization histories shape their experiences of misconduct and victimization during confinement. Drawing on a national census of youth in custody, multinomial logistic regression was employed to compare victim-offenders with victims-only, offenders-only, and uninvolved youth. Results indicate that viole…

Developing a General Forensic Social Work Competency Scale in Taiwan
Purpose: We sought to identify forensic social work (FSW) competencies in Taiwan, develop a General Forensic Social Work Competency Scale (GFSWS), and examine perceived competency levels and their related factors. Method: A mixed-methods approach was used to design the GFSWS. Qualitative investigations were conducted with 58 practitioners and experts in eleven focus groups, and quantitative data were collected from 746 forensic social workers. Ps…

Assessing the Victim–Offender Overlap in Prison Victimization and Misconduct Among Taiwanese Male Inmates
A substantial body of research supports the existence of the victim–offender overlap in the general population. However, few scholars have investigated this phenomenon in the prison context. Drawing on survey data collected from 2,065 male inmates residing in Taiwan’s nine prisons, this study tested the victim–offender overlap hypothesis and identified the most common characteristics of inmates assuming the dual role. Bivariate probit analyses re…
Exploring sources of public attitudes toward capital punishment in Taiwan
Dimensions and predictors of treatment needs for female inmates
Although female offenders have been largely neglected by researchers in the past, the recent and rapid rise in their numbers has resulted in increased scholarly attention. While there has been a substantial movement toward gender-specific rehabilitative programs, limited studies have been conducted over the past years that explore the dimensions and determinants of treatment needs for female offenders. Using data comprised of 883 women collected …
Exploring turnover intent correlated to jail and prison officials
Although a review of literature related to turnover intent in the correctional workplace has focused primarily on prison officers, jailers have frequently been overlooked. Specifically, a comparison between jail and prison officers’ perceptions in Taiwan is limited. In order to fill the gap, our study was based on three objectives: (1) surveying Taiwanese correctional officers who experienced the “get-tough-on-crime” policy during the early 2000s…
Workplace violence in correctional institutions in Taiwan
Although workplace victimization and safety of law enforcement officers are a growing issue in the context of the criminal justice system, there has been very limited research of work-related safety in correctional settings. A similar situation also occurs in Taiwan. Recognizing that public fear of crime is composed of affective and cognitive dimensions, this study breaks the concept of perceived workplace fear into three measurable dimensions: w…
