Child Welfare Professionals Serving Child Sex Trafficking Victims: Changes in Knowledge and Self-Efficacy Over Time
Prevention of trafficking is legislated and funded through federal law, with victim services for child sex trafficking assigned to local departments of social services. Among child welfare workers, research has documented mislabeling, misidentification, misunderstanding of policy, and improper care for youth involved in sex trafficking, and pointed to a need for training of professionals. A survey of five years of classes of child welfare workers…
Exploring the programmatic landscape: A systematic review of police diversion at arrest
Police-assisted diversion programs in lieu of arrest, or pre-booking, remain understudied. This review catalogs the programmatic details within 47 recent research articles on police diversion programs for adults and examines common themes in promising practices. Four were in the Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) model, 15 in the Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) model, two described co-responder models, one a mobile crisis unit (MCU), on…
Exploring the Role of Fear, Civic Disengagement, and Economic Disenfranchisement Within Communities that Experience Gun Violence
A growing body of research has documented how gun violence can affect mental and physical health outcomes among adults. Likewise, the literature is also beginning to reveal negative psychological effects related to distress and hypervigilance and sociological implications around diminished community engagement and economic opportunity. However, there remains a need to fully explore the role of fear related to the experience of gun violence. Throu…
Police Diversion at Arrest: A Systematic Review of the Literature
Police-initiated diversion programs are an increasingly common intervention to prevent excessive arrests of vulnerable populations. This systematic literature review carefully examined the current state of research to evaluate what is known about these programs and to determine the next steps for the field. Health, human services, legal, and criminal justice databases were searched for empirical research on police-initiated pre-arrest diversion o…
Experiences of Child Welfare Workers in a Child Sex Trafficking Training
Child welfare workers are serving victims of child sex trafficking (CST) more frequently in their daily interactions, but they are ill-equipped to understand CST as a phenomenon or how to meet the needs of minor victims. Specialized training targeted to teach child welfare workers about various aspects of CST including risk factors, identification of victims, local and state laws about CST, and services for victims exist but are not readily avail…
Engaging Victims of Child Sex Trafficking: Training for Child Welfare Workers
Child sex trafficking (CST) is the exploitation through commercial sex of a minor under 18. Federal law requires state child welfare agencies to respond and provide services to victims of CST. Social workers report lacking an understanding of state and federal law related to human trafficking, as well as resources for victims, and are often inadequately trained for identifying and serving survivors. As part of a CST awareness training including l…
Conflict Resolution Interventions and Tertiary Violence Prevention Among Urban Nonintimate Adults: A Review of the Literature
Several hundred U.S. conflict resolution and restorative justice programs are addressing community violence using neutral facilitation to help people in conflict, or those who have experienced a crime, to talk things out face-to-face and come up with self-determined solutions. Very little quantitative intervention research has been conducted on the capacity of these programs to reduce violence, violent crime, and criminal recidivism. The scientif…
Mediator approach and mediator behavior: A secondary data analysis of day of trial and child access mediation in Maryland
Does a mediator's stated approach (Facilitative, Inclusive, Transformative) predict their behavior at the mediation table? This question is explored through analysis of 149 cases from District Court day of trial mediation in four Maryland jurisdictions and 156 Circuit Court Family Division court‐referred custody and visitation mediation cases in three Maryland jurisdictions. Through factor analysis and multiple regression analysis, this research …
Defining Inclusive mediation: Theory, practice, and research
The Inclusive approach to mediation was created in Maryland in the 1990s to bring the radical inclusion already deeply woven into the community mediation movement to the mediation table as a core belief and practice. Community mediation includes all places (neighborhoods where the dispute occurred), times (convenient to the participants), problems (even if illegal), and people (not just those on a court filing) involved in the conflict. In Inclus…
We are kind of their parents”: Child welfare workers’ perspective on sexuality education for foster youth
Working under conditions of social vulnerability: Depression among Latina/o immigrant horse workers
Work-related discrimination was uniquely associated with depressive symptoms independent of the effects of occupational risks and stressors. This may be particularly salient in a rising anti-immigrant national context. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
Rethinking professional quality of life for social workers: Inclusion of ecological self-care barriers
This study conducted a survey among social workers in a mid-Atlantic state in the U.S. and examined the relationship between self-care behaviors, self-care barriers and compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress (STS) from an ecological perspective. The study found that social workers had a moderate level of compassion satisfaction, low risk of burnout, and low risk of STS. Bachelor-degree social workers had higher levels of…
