An Opportunity for Probation and Parole Agents to Provide Optimal Support to Mothers They Supervise
Research has shown that parenting challenges and concerns over child custody contribute to justice-involved mothers’ parenting stress, which is related to recidivism. Justice-involved women often lack support within their social networks to assist them with stressors, but interactions with probation and parole agents can provide opportunities for mothers to obtain needed support. This study examined qualitative data from semi-structured interview…
Precursors to Probation and Parole Agent Communication Patterns with Female Clients
Supervising agents serve dual roles as they both help and control the over one million women in the United States (U.S.) on probation and parole as the women strive for lives free of substance abuse and crime. Previous research has found that supervising agent communication patterns have a strong influence on these positive outcomes. Little is known, however, about the precursors to the conversational and conformity communication patterns supervi…
Intensive Parenting Ideologies and Risks for Recidivism among Justice-Involved Mothers
Intensive parenting is the dominant parenting ideology in the United States, and it holds parents, especially mothers, accountable for the outcomes of their children, and urges them to expend extensive time and resources on child-rearing, even when such efforts compromise the parent’s wellbeing. Research continuously highlights the harms associated with women’s intensive parenting beliefs. This study employed factor analysis on the Intensive Pare…
Longitudinal relations between skin tone and self-esteem in African American girls
We examined developmental changes in self-esteem from late childhood to late adolescence in African American girls ( N = 124), comparing skin tone groups. Girls completed a measure of self-esteem when they were in Grades 5, 7, 10, and 12, and in Grade 12 their skin tone was rated on a 3-point scale (1 = Light, 2 = Medium, 3 = Dark). Girls with lighter skin reported higher self-esteem than dark and medium-toned girls in Grades 5 and 7, and their s…
Bidirectional influence between African American mothers’ and children’s racial centrality from elementary through high school
For many African Americans, racial identity is an important aspect of their individual identity. We explored developmental change and stability of individual differences in the racial centrality of African American youths and their mothers as well as the relation between maternal and child racial centrality across time. African American youths (N = 380) and mothers completed surveys when youths were in grades 5, 7, 10, and 12. Mean levels of yout…
Skin tone bias among African Americans
Inequitable Chronic Lead Exposure
Both historic and contemporary factors contribute to the current unequal distribution of lead in urban environments and the disproportionate impact lead exposure has on the health and well-being of low-income minority communities. We consider the enduring impact of lead through the lens of environmental justice, taking into account well-documented geographic concentrations of lead, legacy sources that produce chronic exposures, and intergeneratio…
Women’s Experience of Motherhood, Violations of Supervision Requirements and Arrests
Though parenting is commonly viewed as an important factor influencing women’s desistance from offending, little is known about how specific aspects of parenting relate to recidivism. The present study investigated the connections of parenting stress, parenting involvement, routine parenting activities and maternal motivations to violations of supervision conditions, including arrests, for a sample of 190 women. The findings support desistance th…
