    BACKGROUND: Youth under juvenile justice (JJ) supervision are at high-risk of adverse outcomes from substance use, making prevention important.

  • Using Goal Achievement Training in juvenile justice settings to improve substance use services for youth on community supervision

    Open AccessThe JJ-TRIALS Cooperative, Jacqueline Horan Fisher et al.ARTICLEHealth & Justice2018

    BACKGROUND: The link between substance use and involvement in the juvenile justice system has been well established. Justice-involved youth tend to have higher rates of drug use than their non-offending peers. At the same time, continued use can contribute to an elevated risk of recidivism, which leads to further, and oftentimes more serious, involvement with the juvenile justice system. Because of these high rates of use, the juvenile justice sy…

  • The influence of a juvenile’s abuse history on support for sex offender registration

    Open AccessMargaret C Stevenson, Cynthia J Najdowski et al.ARTICLEPsychology Public Policy and Law2014References: 4

When asked about juvenile sex offenders in an abstract manner (Studies 1 and 2), the more participants (community members and undergraduates) believed that a history of being sexually abused as a child causes later sexually abusive behavior, the less likely they were to support sex offend…

  • Implementing drug abuse treatment services in criminal justice settings

    Open AccessL J Ducharme, Redonna K Chandler et al.ARTICLEHealth & Justice2013

    BACKGROUND: Despite a growing pipeline of effective clinical treatments, there remains a persistent research-to-practice gap in drug abuse services. Delivery of effective treatment services is especially lacking in the U.S. criminal justice system, where half of all incarcerated persons meet the need for drug abuse or dependence, yet few receive needed care. Structural, financial, philosophical and other barriers slow the pace of adoption of avai…

  • Attitudinal and Individual Differences Influence Perceptions of Mock Child Sexual Assault Cases Involving Gay Defendants

    Tisha R A Wiley, Tisha Wiley et al.ARTICLEJournal of Homosexuality2013Cited by: 3References: 43

    Many people hold negative attitudes and stereotypes about gay men, including the stereotype that gay men are likely to be child molesters. This article explored the implications of this stereotype for judgments made in a hypothetical legal case involving child sexual abuse accusations against a male teacher by either a male or female victim. Mock jurors who held the most anti-gay attitudes and those who endorsed the stereotype of gay men as child…
