The Additive Labor of Survival: A Scoping Review of Black Familial Strategization in Preparation for Police Interactions
Black American families are aware of the precarious nature of police interactions. Black people are disproportionately killed by the police at such levels that police violence is now categorized as a public health issue among the Black population. Black children and youth are not exempt from police violence and tend to be adultified or perceived as older than their biological age. In recognition of police violence, Black families engage in a cont…
The impact of mandatory reporting policies on adolescent sexual assault case progression in the criminal legal system
While little is known about adolescent sexual assault criminal case progression, available research suggests many cases are not referred to the prosecutor for the consideration of charges. Nuanced mandatory reporting laws that require such referrals have been implemented in some states to facilitate criminal case progression. We used medical and criminal legal system records to determine rates of adolescent sexual assault prosecution for 236 case…
I Had to Make it Safe in My Mind: Strategizing and Harm Insulation Among Sexual Assault Survivors
Adolescents and sexual assault: A critical integrative review
Adolescents are sexually assaulted at remarkably high rates. Adolescents are also unique given the specific dynamics of adolescent sexual assault, their current stage in human development, their limited legal standing and rights, and their experiences navigating postassault services and resources. While literature exists within each of these domains, it is somewhat disconnected and overlooks how adolescents are often relegated to the margins in r…
Integrating Smart Decarceration Content Across Social Work Curricula
Given tremendous negative societal effects of mass incarceration, the social work profession’s investment in the Grand Challenge to Promote Smart Decarceration, and the call for criminal justice transformation, educational content that prepares social work students to engage in smart decarceration efforts is essential. This article presents strategies for integrating content on smart decarceration into courses across the social work curriculum, i…
Mandatory Reporting and Adolescent Sexual Assault
Adolescents experience alarmingly high rates of sexual violence, higher than any other age-group. This is concerning as sexual violence can have detrimental effects on teens’ personal and relational well-being, causing long-term consequences for the survivor. Still, adolescents are hesitant to report the assault or seek out services and resources. When an adolescent survivor does seek out services, they may interact with a provider who is a manda…
A Mixed-Methods Study of the Experiences of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color MSW Students during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Few studies have explored the experiences of Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) MSW students during the pandemic. The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to examine the experiences of BIPOC MSW students in a predominantly white institution in the Northeast during the pandemic and how it affected their mental health. Findings presented were drawn from 29 students who participated in online surveys and focus groups. About 69% of our…
Looking through a kaleidoscope: The phenomenological ethnic‐racial socialization conceptual model and its application to U.S. Black and Latino Youth and families
A significant body of research examines ethnic‐racial socialization among families of color, yet rarely investigates the influence of youths’ phenotype (e.g., skin color) on ethnic‐racial socialization. How families of color make meaning of youths’ skin color may cause variation in ethnic‐racial socialization. To address this gap, we propose the Phenomenological Ethnic‐Racial Socialization Conceptual Model, which details how the meaning families …
Race and Ethnicity in the Social Work Grand Challenges
Race, ethnicity, and racism (RER) are interconnected with the critical problems tackled in the Grand Challenges for Social Work (GCSW). Yet, the extent to which the GCSW discuss the central role of RER is less clear. This article investigates how the GCSW integrate RER in their discourse. Using content analysis, authors examined all 21 concept papers that comprise the 12 initial GCSW to determine their attention to RER. Authors assessed whether e…
Under the Radar: Strategies Used by Black Mothers to Prepare Their Sons for Potential Police Interactions
The current qualitative study explores the experiences of Black mothers who prepare their sons for potential police encounters. Police presence in the Black community has historically elicited feelings of mistrust and fear among Black Americans, and those sentiments resonate today. The discrete incidents of police violence in the United States have been exposed due to an increase in media documentation of the phenomenon. Increased awareness of po…
