The Precarity, Perils, and Promises of Emerging Creator Economies
This panel focuses on the relationship of emerging creator economies to conditions of precarity, as they have come to develop in several distinct yet partially overlapping social, historical, and geographical contexts, including: Dalit mobile street performances in Haryana, India; YouTube street interview videos recorded in China, Japan and South Korea; the digital circulation of ethnonationalist themes and tropes surrounding the 2024 parliamenta…
Criminalisation and Control
This article, based on qualitative research of 22 search and rescue (SAR) activists who save migrant lives at sea, examines perceptions of these activists on measures used to criminalise and control them and their organisations. Recognising the law in this area as contested between the impressions of civic society humanitarian activists and state authorities, it analyses how SAR activists perceive how the law is used to disrupt their work. This a…
Law’s Memories
Mnemonic legality
This paper adopts the idea that nationally observed commemorative events are pivotal in the enactment of identity. Exemplified by Anzac Day, collective mnemonic narratives are implicated in the process of producing particular conceptions of what is normative and valued within a legal and political community. The notion of collective memory’s contribution to the production of normative and formative frames, and associated senses of belonging and r…
Polysubstance Use Among Adolescents in a Low Income, Rural Community
Enhancing Natural Reward Responsiveness Among Opioid Users Predicts Chronic Pain Relief
Chronic pain may be alleviated by enhancing brain response to natural rewards
Standardization and the Production of Justice in Summary Criminal Courts
Since the 1980s, successive governments have become increasingly distrustful of professional judgment in those services which remain funded by the state, including the criminal justice system. Against this background, governments sought to increase efficiency in summary criminal courts. One way that this seems to have occurred is via the use of standardized forms in case progression. During 2013, Welsh conducted empirical research in which the re…
Cigarette-smoking trajectories of monoracial and biracial Blacks
Research on the cigarette-smoking patterns of biracial adolescents and young adults is severely limited. In this study, we tested the intermediate biracial substance-use hypothesis, which suggests that the prevalence of substance use among biracial individuals falls intermediate to their monoracial counterparts. We examined cigarette-smoking trajectories of a de-aggregated sample of biracial Black adolescents and young adults. We used longitudina…
Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement for Video Game Addiction in Emerging Adults
Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement Reduces Opioid Attentional Bias Among Prescription Opioid-Treated Chronic Pain Patients
Objective: Opioid-misusing chronic pain patients who are treated with opioid analgesics selectively attend to opioid-related cues. This opioid attentional bias (AB) is a maladaptive cognitive process that can lead to automatic, habitual misuse of opioids. The aim of this secondary data analysis was to explore the effects of a novel social work intervention, Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE), on posttreatment opioid AB among a subgr…
Lest We Forget (Matter)
Anzac Day commemoration centers on the Anzac Legend, that volunteer Australian soldiers gave a sense of Australian nationhood a global presence. As such, it is considered an important institution in Australia. Largely absent, or at least uncomfortably present for some Australians, are the voices of aboriginal Australians. This exclusion needs to be fully understood if the Australian polity is to be considered an unrestrictive and representative d…
Prevalence and correlates of substance use in Black, White, and biracial Black–White adolescents
Most substance-use prevention interventions are based on the implicit assumption that risk and protective factors for substance use are the same for biracial and monoracial youth. However, preliminary research suggests this assumption may be untrue. This study compared the prevalence and correlates of substance use among Black, White, and biracial Black-White youth. Data were derived from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent and Adult He…
Perceived Stepparent–Child Relationship Quality
Acceptability of a Social Support Intervention for Re-entering Prisoners
A relatively unexplored area of prisoner reentry programs involves actively engaging the prisoner’s naturally occurring social support in the reentry interventions. Most reentering prisoners rely on loved ones for social support, but that support is often fragile. Interventions that strengthen the sustainability of social support are crucial to a successful reentry. This study evaluates the acceptability of a social support intervention for male …
Social Work Research
Social work research is currently in the midst of a pervasive and portentous identity conflict that could pose existential problems vis-a-vis its future viability. The Digital Revolution and the Information Age it wrought have contributed significantly to the growth of social work science between 1984 and 2014. A contemporaneous Era of Emulation arose in social work, involving the widespread importation of research and statistical methods of more…
Using Randomized Controlled Trials to Evaluate Interventions for Releasing Prisoners
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are rarely used to evaluate social and behavioral interventions designed for releasing prisoners. Objective: We use a pilot RCT of a social support intervention (Support Matters) as a case example to discuss obstacles and strategies for conducting RCT intervention evaluations that span prison and community contexts. Method: First, we summarize existing studies with current and former prisoner samples that highl…
Family factors in Internet addiction among Chinese youth
Assessing Empathy in Antisocial Youth
Relatively few researchers have examined empathy among antisocial youth, although adolescents may differ greatly in the nature and frequency of their offending behavior. In this investigation, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used (1) to derive a brief empathy scale from the Psychopathic Personality Inventory-Short Version; (2) to assess the construct validity, internal consistency, and potential clinical utility of the derived e…
A Transdiagnostic Perspective on Cognitive, Affective, and Neurobiological Processes Underlying Human Suffering
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and International Classification of Diseases classify mental health disorders on the basis of their putatively distinct symptom profiles. Although these nosologies are highly influential, they also have been derided as mere “field guides” because they focus solely on the superficial symptomatic expression of psychiatric syndromes rather than on the commonalities underlying psychiatric diso…
Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement for Alcohol Dependence
Mindfulness-based interventions may decrease addictive behaviors while promoting non-reactivity to stressors. This study employed qualitative methods to enhance understanding of mindfulness-related treatment effects. Study participants were eighteen alcohol dependent adults residing in a therapeutic community who had participated in a Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) intervention. Interviews were conducted to elicit participant na…
Helium Inhalation in Adolescents
Although helium-related fatalities and concerns about potentially harmful effects of helium use have increased in recent years, virtually nothing is known about the epidemiology of helium inhalation in adolescents. This exploratory investigation examined the prevalence and correlates of helium inhalation in a large sample of at-risk youth. Study participants were 723 Missouri adolescents (M age = 15.5, SD = 1.2) in residential treatment for delin…

Substance Misuse and the Child Welfare System
Dorian E. Traube's (2012) thoughtful and wide-ranging editorial underscores the key role social work can and should play in improving the identification and treatment of substance-misusing recipients of child welfare services and their family members. There are many good reasons for social work to prioritize this service population vis-à-vis substance misuse prevention and treatment efforts. The child welfare service system is a critical context …
Reflection on Four Years of Social Work Research
With the publication of this issue, my four-year tenure as Editor-in-Chief of Social Work Research comes to an end. Among the changes the journal has seen since publication of my first editorial (Howard, 2009) number implementation of a fully online manuscript processing interface and expansion of the normal issue length from 64 to 80 pages. What has not changed—and what I take most pride in—is the consistently high quality of the journal's conte…

Clinical Practice Guidelines
Guidelines for clinical practice have proliferated in recent years. Numerous studies indicate that guidelines can increase empirically based practice and improve clients’ outcomes. Guidelines for social work practice would also promote more informed client decision making, improve clinical training in schools of social work, encourage more cost-effective and accountable practice, and help codify current knowledge in controversial practice areas. …
Teaching Evidence-Based Practice
Widespread adoption of pedagogical methods promoting evidence-based practice (EBP) could enhance the effectiveness of social work practice education. Schools of social work should ensure that faculty are trained in the methods of EBP; establish a committee responsible for tracking and implementing demonstrably effective instructional innovations related to EBP; provide continuing education courses that promote scientifically supported practices a…

Youth Crime, Public Policy, and Practice in the Juvenile Justice System
Historically, juvenile justice policy has oscillated between rehabilitative and punitive approaches to managing young offenders. Policy and practice in the 1970s and 1980s emphasized individual treatment for young offenders in nonsecure, community-based programs. An increase in violent youth crime during the past decade has renewed interest in punishing delinquent youths. Cyclic fluctuations in juvenile justice policy and their relationship to po…

Strong-Arm Bullying Prior to Incarceration Among a Sample of Young Offenders
Most studies of bullying behavior have been conducted with general populations during childhood and early adolescence. Although incarcerated youth are at increased risk for bullying others, incarcerated youth in the United States have rarely been studied regarding their bullying behavior prior to incarceration. Understanding the psychological and antisocial correlates of strong-arm bullying prior to incarceration may highlight risk factors that, …

Revisioning Social Work Clinical Education
An evidence-based practice (EBP) movement is underway in social work that promises to change the very nature and methods of clinical education and practice. Growing demands for accountability, increasingly sophisticated clients, heightened threats of malpractice liability, and a host of additional factors arising within and external to the profession have contributed to the growth of EBP. This review examines indices of the growing influence of E…
Nitrous Oxide Inhalation Among Adolescents
Few studies have examined the prevalence of nitrous oxide (NO) inhalation or co-occurrence of NO and volatile solvent (VS) use in adolescents. Study aims were to (1) describe the independent and conjoint prevalence of NO and VS use in incarcerated youth, (2) compare adolescent users of both NO and VS inhalants (NO+VS) to users of NO-only, VS-only, and nonusers of NO and VS (NO/VNS nonusers) with regard to demographic, psychological, and behaviora…
