Examining the effect of Indiana prosecutor‐led diversion programs on recidivism outcomes: A case study of two jurisdictions
Whose Job is It Anyway? Criminal-Legal Professionals’ and Community Members’ Perceptions of System Disparities
Introduction: Racial disparities are documented throughout criminal-legal processing and are often attributed to discretionary legal decision making. Although prior research has shown how racial disparities can be introduced, maintained, or amplified with each decision, less is known about how criminal-legal professionals interpret disparities. Aim: This study examined how criminal-legal system stakeholders perceive the causes of racial dispariti…
Patterns of Compliance and Noncompliance During Probation: Identifying Pathways to Probation Revocation
Prior research has explored factors associated with probation outcomes, but few studies have examined pathways of noncompliance leading to probation failure. We conducted social sequence analysis to identify trajectories of compliance and noncompliance in a sample of 4,389 probationers in Monroe County, Indiana. Our findings showed full compliance was the most common probation trajectory and a single failure to appear (FTA) the most common patter…
A Rapid Review of Literature on Factors Associated with Adult Probation Revocations
Criminal justice stakeholders have increasingly relied on probation supervision as an alternative to incarceration and yet, probation revocations often result in incarceration. As such, increased understanding of the mechanisms behind revocations and strategies to reduce them is critical. We conduct a rapid review of the literature on factors associated with probation revocations. Specifically, we review 50 articles on how probation officer behav…
Police-mental health co-response versus police-as-usual response to behavioral health emergencies: A pragmatic randomized effectiveness trial
Occupational Stress Associated With Technological Diversion Among Pretrial Services Officers: A Qualitative Case Study of GPS Supervision for Intimate Partner and Domestic Violence Cases
The application of global positioning system (GPS) technology as a pretrial diversion mechanism to monitor intimate partner and domestic violence (IPV/DV) cases has become increasingly common. As more jurisdictions implement GPS technology, there is a need to understand the workplace experiences of community corrections officers with this nascent supervision strategy. This qualitative case study draws upon the experiences gleaned from in-depth in…
Decarceration from Local County Jails during the Covid-19 Pandemic: A Closer Look
The COVID-19 pandemic initially compelled population reductions at local county jails. This study uses daily population counts at 970 jail facilities in 43 different U.S. states to; assess changes in jail population levels during 2020; relate those changes to the demographic, economic, and political characteristics of the counties where they took place; and examine the relationships between jail population levels and COVID-19 cases and deaths. Ja…
Effects of pretrial risk assessments on release decisions and misconduct outcomes relative to practice as usual
Five-County Validation of the Indiana Risk Assessment System – Pretrial Assessment Tool (Iras-PAT) using a Local Validation Approach
Local jurisdictions are increasingly using pretrial risk assessment instruments to assess risk of pretrial misconduct and inform release decisions. We adopted a local validation approach to examine the predictive validity of Indiana Risk Assessment System – Pretrial Assessment Tool (IRAS-PAT) assessments in 3,739 unique pretrial defendants across five Indiana counties. Jail, court, and pretrial risk assessment records were matched within each jur…
Does Reentry Court Completion Affect Recidivism Three Years after Exit? Results from a Retrospective Cohort Study
Reentry courts are a strategy to assist individuals subjected to post-release supervision in the reintegration process, but there is limited evidence on the effectiveness of these practices. The current study presents the results of a retrospective cohort study for a sample of 340 participants who exited a reentry court. Specifically, survival analyses were employed to evaluate whether participants’ reentry court completion status affects their l…
Barriers and facilitators to implementing an urban co-responding police-mental health team
BACKGROUND: In an effort to reduce the increasing number of persons with mental illness (PMI) experiencing incarceration, co-responding police-mental health teams are being utilized as a way to divert PMI from the criminal justice system. Co-response teams are typically an inter-agency collaboration between police and mental health professionals, and in some cases include emergency medical personnel. These teams are intended to facilitate emergen…
Public Perceptions and Housing Assistance for Reentrants: Examination of the Enduring Power of Stigmatizing Labels
A Multimethod Examination of the Dynamics of Recidivism During Reentry
Research on prisoner reentry has indicated that the transition to the community can be a tumultuous process. Despite this growing understanding, research has continued to operationalize recidivism as a terminal event in the reentry experience, categorizing returning prisoners as recidivists and nonrecidivists. Using detailed mixed methods with a small cohort of parolees, this inquiry documents the dynamic nature, timing, and context of recidivism…
Anticipated Stigma and Defensive Individualism During Postincarceration Job Searching
Obtaining employment is one of the most difficult challenges for individuals released from prison. This research explores the strategies recently released male parolees employ in attempting to find work, with specific attention to the role of anticipated stigma from their ex-convict status. Through the use of in-depth longitudinal interviews, this research contributes to our understanding of returning prisoner's experiences in job searching. We f…
Officer perceptions of the impact of mobile broadband technology on police operations
Research examining police departments' use of technology is underdeveloped relative to other areas of policing. This gap in the literature is troubling as policing models are becoming more data-driven and thus, relying more heavily on information technologies. Arguably, the most commonly utilised technology in policing practice, and examined in policing research, has been mobile computers. However, there has been little insight into the technolog…
The Effect and Implications of Sex Offender Residence Restrictions: Evidence from a Two‐State Evaluation
Research Summary We evaluated the efficacy of sex offender residence restrictions in Michigan and Missouri using a quasi‐experimental design with propensity score matching. First, we examined the implementation of the laws and found that sex offenders in both states were less likely to live in restricted areas after the implementation of the laws than the prerestriction sample, but the differences were not statistically significant. In our outcom…
