“Fearless” Revisited
Among the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, peer-to-peer support groups sought virtual environments to bring individuals together. Building upon previous research of Fearless, a peer-to-peer support group for registered individuals, this study examines how changes in the format from in person to virtual impacted the group’s ability to provide social support to members. A snowball sampling technique was used to identify 25 members of Fearless w…
The Americanization of Karen Refugee Youth
Drug use among refugee populations is a concerning trend in many urban American cities. For instance, Omaha, Nebraska is home to an estimated 7,000 refugees from Myanmar, with at least 75% of those being Karen refugees. The purpose of this paper is to explore methamphetamine use among Karen adolescents in Omaha and to examine whether Karen youth bring their drug use habits with them from refugee camps or if they learn about drugs from their Ameri…
Construction of Radicalization
Terrorism by extremist groups has garnered much political, media, and scholarly attention since 9/11.1 Although radicalization may not be a necessary cause of terrorism, it has been found to play a role in terrorist pathways, but what we mean by the term “radicalization” is still somewhat of a mystery, because its definition is ever evolving across different groups and people.2 We have all read media stories in which politicians, criminal justice…
FromPlayboyto Prison
This study explores pornography use across the lifespan for a sample of registrants convicted of child pornography related offenses. We conducted qualitative life history interviews with nine offenders to examine how offender, victim, and situational factors interact to produce pornography-related criminal events. Using a hybrid analytic approach, themes related to persistence in pornography use and the social acceptability of pornography are ide…
Bringing Jails into the Twenty-First Century
Jails serve a valuable role in the American correctional system. Historically, the quick turnover in population and limited resources that plague jails create impediments to the delivery of programming content for inmates. A large Midwestern jail facility has sought to increase inmate exposure to evidence-based cognitive behavioral programming through the use of a facility-wide CCTV system, known as Jail TV. This outcome evaluation discusses the …
Beyond Circles of Support
The term sex offender carries expectations that include a continuous level of sexual criminal risk and untreatable mental health conditions that govern sex offending behaviors. These role expectations by the public can socially isolate individuals who have been convicted of a crime and the people who love them. This is likely to contribute to negative self-images that can result in loneliness, isolation, and depression, and, subsequently, contrib…
The need to debate the fate of sex offender community notification laws
Are Sex Offenders Dangerous
Research Summary: Current legislation mandating DNA collection, civil commitment, registration, and community notification of sex offenders is predicated on the assumption that sex offenders are simply more dangerous than other types of offenders in that they inevitably re‐offend. Moreover, many states are moving to expand sex offender legislation to include non‐sexual offenders on the assumption that some offense types, such as burglary and robb…
