Making the most of it
Supervised parenting services provide parents without custody of their children the opportunity to meet with their children. Often, families in crisis are referred to or utilize these centers following child safety concerns like domestic violence, parental substance use disorders, or child abuse and neglect. The goal of supervised parenting services is to provide a safe environment for visiting parents and children to meet. Research on this topic…
Making it work
Supervised parenting, commonly referred to as supervised visitation, is a growing service with limited research examining its impact on families. Compared with research on non‐custodial parents, less is known about how custodial caregivers navigate this service to support their children both before and after supervised time with non‐custodial parents.

This research note reflects a systematic review of recent studies in this area and comments on the methodological features and implications for future research in this critical but often overlooked practice
High incarceration rates among women on probation with victimization histories suggests need for gender-responsive treatment
Justice-involved women frequently experience victimization histories, mental illness, and substance use disorders, which create challenges with completing probation sentences. Although most justice-involved women are on probation, research focuses on prisoners. Studies on treatment services for the population primarily have samples from prison, creating limited knowledge on programs for women on probation. This study examines the impact of mental…

While the Smart Decarceration movement was developed by social work academics to encourage research on reducing the U.S. criminal justice population, justice-involved women have thus far been largely excluded from this initiative. This paper offers a conceptual review of research on justice-involved women, paying particular attention to the field of feminist criminology. This review illustrates the unique challenges and experiences that are invol…
Examining the Influence of Financial Assistance and Employment Services on the Criminal Justice Outcomes of Women on Probation
Although low income is common across the U.S. probation population, women offenders experience it more than men. However, despite the connection between income and probation outcomes, limited research has been conducted on programs that could improve the financial circumstances of female probationers. This study examined the influence on probation outcomes of receiving government financial assistance programs and employment services. The findings…
