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…
“There Was No Crib Notes on How to Grieve”: Finding Grief Space During and After a Juvenile Life Prison Sentence
Carceral settings prevent individuals from engaging in supportive grief processing and contribute to compounded and disenfranchised grief. This is particularly relevant for individuals sentenced to life or long prison sentences during childhood. Relying on qualitative interviews, this study explored death-related loss and grief experiences, before, during, and after incarceration, within a sample of 46 individuals resentenced and released from pr…
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…
Of House and Home: The meanings of housing for women engaged in criminalised street-based sex work
Despite emerging as a core concern for street-based sex workers participating in prostitution diversion programmes (PDPs), housing has received limited empirical attention. In this article, we explore the meanings of housing in the context of court-affiliated PDPs in the US cities of Baltimore and Philadelphia based on interviews and focus groups with 31 PDP participants and 32 criminal legal system professionals. Three themes emerged: (a) housin…
Promoting diversity and inclusion in social work doctoral programs through mentoring: Perceptions and advice from Bipoc students
Social work doctoral programs help shape the future leaders of the profession, but the climate of doctoral programs may not be equally welcoming to all students. This study explores the perspectives of students who are Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) regarding their programs’ diversity and inclusion and mentoring practices. The online survey of 183 social work doctoral students uses a mixed methods approach to compare perspectives o…
Who Do We Call “Creepy?”: Sex Workers’ Relationships as Targets of Intimate Intervention
Like other forms of problem-solving justice, prostitution diversion programs (PDPs) are designed to (re)shape thinking and behaviors. The authority to surveil and punish stems from criminalization of sex work, itself an act of control over women and their bodies. The court cues normative behaviors through rewards and punishments based on information gleaned through ongoing surveillance in and out of court. Using a critical feminist lens, we draw …
Understanding Privilege and Engaging in Activism: Elevating Social Justice in Social Work
In order to best serve clients and be effective 'social change agents,' social workers must unpack their own privilege, learn about injustice, and work to dismantle interconnected systems of oppression. One way to do so is through engagement in social activism. This cross-sectional study examined intersectional demographic identities and knowledge of racial and heterosexual privilege as related to participation in political and social activism am…
I Have Different Goals Than you, we Can’t be a Team: Navigating the Tensions of a Courtroom Workgroup in a Prostitution Diversion Program
This study explores how professional stakeholders navigate individual and institutional goals, ethical standards, and perspectives within the courtroom workgroup of a prostitution diversion program. We draw from semi-structured qualitative interviews of current and/or past professional stakeholders (N = 22) and past program participants (N = 3). Though collaboration and consensus building among workgroups is a core tenet of problem-solving courts…
Associations of Social Network- and Individual-Level Factors with HIV Testing, Condom Use, and Interest in PrEP Among Young Black Women
To achieve the 2030 goal of ending the HIV epidemic, we must consider social network- along with individual-level factors related to HIV prevention among young Black women (YBW). This cross-sectional study examined egocentric social network- and individual-level data of 180 YBW aged 18–24. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to study social network characteristics and individual sexual behaviors related to HIV prevention behaviors …
