A comparative description of relationships among traffickers and victims
Our understanding of the crimes associated with human trafficking, including trafficking persons for sex, are hampered by a lack of standardized information. This article reviews selected information, governmental and non-governmental, to develop an overview of major issues in this lack of understanding. We provide a descriptive analysis of official data taken from one of the arguably busiest judicial circuits in the nation to develop a snapshot …
Exploring the Structure of Adolescent Problem Behaviors and the Associated Adult Outcomes
This study expands on previous research on adolescent problem behaviors by examining whether different constellations of problem behavior in adolescence differentially impact outcomes during emerging adulthood. Data from the in-home interviews of waves 2 and 3 of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) were used to examine these relationships. Latent class analysis, using nineteen problem behaviors measured at wave 2, id…

Sex in Prison
Despite being deemed an illegal activity, participation in sexual activity behind prison walls is a frequent occurrence. Catherine Marcum and Tammy Castle provide a comprehensive study of all aspects of prison sex. Incorporating inmate, correctional officer, and policymaker perspectives-and debunking myths-the authors consider the full range of consensual and nonconsensual behaviors. They also address the physical, emotional, and legal repercussi…
Pandemic Influenza and Jail Facilities and Populations
Persons processed into and through jail facilities in the United States may be particularly vulnerable during an influenza pandemic. Among other concerns, public health and corrections officials need to consider flow issues, the high turnover and transitions between jails and the community, and the decentralized organization of jails. In this article, we examine some of the unique challenges jail facilities may face during an influenza pandemic a…

Disproportionate Rates of Incarceration Contribute to Health Disparities
The theme of the October 2005 issue of the Journal was the public health consequences of imprisonment. This issue illuminated the wide-ranging health care needs of the more than 2.2 million men—most of whom are African American—who are incarcerated in the United States. Persistent health disparities characterize impoverished communities with large numbers of men who are locked away with limited access to quality health care and treatment,1 and th…

Teaching about violence prevention
Public health perspectives on violence-related injuries have become increasingly important over the past two decades, yet they are rarely mentioned in criminal justice educational texts or articles. Here we provide a brief overview of the public health approach to the prevention of violence and related injuries and compare it to an approach to crime prevention commonly associated with the criminal justice approach: deterrence. The prevention of s…
Examining Elements of Campus Sexual Violence Policies
The promulgation of sexual violence policies can be viewed from both criminal justice and public health perspectives. The public health model focuses on prevention through health promotion in contrast to a criminal justice analysis based primarily on deterrence. Because each perspective has a unique focus, policies may have different implications and outcomes. This study subjects campus sexual violence policies to analysis from public health and …

Juvenile Diversion and Net Widening
This paper examines strategies for assessing the effects of diversion, a major juvenile justice reform movement. Issues relating to the diversion of youth from the juvenile justice system have been hotly debated for more than a decade. A central question has been whether diversion programs produce results opposite the intended purpose by widening the justice net, thus bringing more youths under state control than would otherwise be the case. The …
