A Novel Exploration of Women’s Pathways Through Prison and the Roles of Trauma, Addiction, and Mental Health
Trauma, mental illnesses, and substance use disorders (SUD) are well-documented contributors leading to women’s incarceration; however, less is known about how these factors also influence women’s pathways through prison once incarcerated. To address this gap, we examined (1) women’s pathways to and through prison-based mental health services, (2) summarized their sociodemographic and diagnostic profiles, and (3) examined how mental health and ad…
Custodial and perinatal care patterns of women who received prenatal care while incarcerated in the Arkansas state prison system, 2014–2019
Characteristics and Outcomes of Women and Infants Who Received Prenatal Care While Incarcerated in Arkansas State Prison System, 2014–2019
“I’m Not a Child Molester, But a Victim Myself”
Persons convicted of sexual offenses (PCSOs) hold distorted attitudes and beliefs, or rationalizations that minimize the severity of their offending. Despite this, knowledge of rationalizations held by PCSOs remains limited, especially for offenders who report being sexually abused as children. The purpose of the study was to qualitatively assess post-conviction rationalizations of PCSOs who reported childhood sexual abuse ( n = 40) and those who…

Canada v. Bedford (2013) was a Supreme Court case challenging prostitution laws in Canada. Before Bedford, the Criminal Code outlawed certain elements of prostitution. In Bedford, it was argued the current laws violated the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which guarantees the right to life, liberty, and security for all. The Supreme Court held that the laws violated the right to security as afforded by Section 7 of the Canadian Charter o…
Justice-Involved, Sexually Victimized Women's Perspectives on the Acceptability of Receiving Trauma-Focused Therapy in Prison
Incarcerated women report high rates of sexual victimization. Interviews with 63 previously incarcerated women survivors of sexual violence explored perceptions toward receiving trauma-focused therapy while incarcerated and postrelease trauma-focused therapy utilization. Nearly all participants (97%) recommended that trauma-focused therapy be available to incarcerated women. Most believed that prisons are acceptable places to receive trauma-focus…
A participant-randomized pilot hybrid II trial of group cognitive processing therapy for incarcerated persons with posttraumatic stress and substance use disorder symptoms
Child Sexual Abuse within Educational Settings
Despite growing interest, research on female sex offenders has been limited. Previous research on female sex offenders has focused on understanding behaviors, patterns, and motivations of female sex offenders overall, but only a handful of studies have specifically focused on teachers who are convicted of sexually abusing underaged students. For the present study, we examined the nature of child sexual abuse among a sample of female teachers, foc…
