The Main and Intersecting Predictive Effects of Out-of-Home Child Welfare Placement, Sex, and Ethnicity on Arrest in Canada
In Canada, Indigenous Peoples are disproportionately represented in both the child welfare and criminal legal systems. Despite longstanding recognition of this inequity, limited research has examined the impact of out-of-home child welfare placement on arrest within the Canadian context, particularly for Indigenous populations. This study investigates the relationship between intrusive child welfare involvement and arrest, with a focus on the mod…

Racial Microaggressions and Asian Americans' Well-Being
BACKGROUND: Racial microaggressions continue to be a serious problem in the United States. While racialized microaggressions have been a long standing, though under explored, issue for all Asian Americans, Covid significantly amplified both overt and microaggression-based discrimination against Asian Americans because of the links between the origins of the viral spread and China (Lee & Waters, 2021). Despite this history of discrimination agains…
Indigenous Peoples’ Relative Risk of Homicide in the USA
Evidence suggests that Indigenous Peoples have the highest rate of death by homicide compared to other ethnic groups in the USA. Despite this alarming disparity and its fatal implications, there seems little attention paid to this crisis outside of Indigenous communities, and literature on the violence perpetrated against this population is comparatively scarce. Among the 574 federally recognized tribes and 326 reservations across the USA, there …
Individual and community predictors of arrests in Canada
This survey of a national Canadian sample examines the associations between individual- and community-level factors with arrest by police. Indigenous Peoples were more than twice as likely to have been arrested than White people. Indigenous Peoples living in Indigenous enclaves were nearly five times as likely to be arrested than White people in similar communities. And Indigenous females who lived in Indigenous enclaves were nearly 20 times more…
Understanding the Bereavement Process
Analysis of in-depth qualitative interviews with 20 bereaved parents and 11 service providers revealed a more holistic conceptualization of the bereavement process for parents who have lost a child. Holistic “states” included: “helplessness prior to the death,” “fog,” “turmoil,” “transition,” “new beginnings,” and “stability.” Findings showed that loss and restorative processes are characteristic of more than one state, the bereavement narrative …

Covid ‐19–related stressors, family functioning and mental health in Canada
Consoling the Bereaved
In a sequential mixed methods study, interview data showed that bereaved parents consistently reported "stupid" or "insensitive" things people said that were not helpful when their child died. Subsequently, a discourse analysis of 170 sympathy cards was conducted to assess societal messaging that may influence people's insensitive words. The findings reflected two distinct time periods in the bereavement process: a time of sadness followed by a t…
