Posttraumatic stress disorder and other mental health correlates in a predominantly Latino/Hispanic sample living with food insecurity
The compounding mental health consequences of experiencing FI, PTSD, and other psychopathology needs further investigation. Moreover, affordable and accessible treatment models are imperative to address the needs of this low-SES population. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)

Prisoner Reentry in the 21st Century
Convicted and Condemned
Felony convictions restrict social interactions and hinder felons' efforts to reintegrate into society. The educational and vocational training offered in many prisons are typically not recognized by accredited educational institutions as acceptable course work or by employers as valid work experience, making it difficult for recently-released prisoners to find jobs. Families often will not or cannot allow their formerly incarcerated relatives to…

Clothing makes the man
Building on the wealth of prisoner reentry scholarship focusing on the process of transitioning home, this article examines clothing and reentry, and the complex interplay of how clothing has meaning for both the wearer and the viewer during this process. Prisoner reintegration research demonstrates that former prisoners are in need of a multitude of items, yet the purpose of clothing as a function in impression management is rarely considered. T…
Listen to What I Say, Not How I Vote
Objectives. Are legislators' party affiliations or is district partisanship the greatest predictor of legislative support of the president? Do members of the U.S. House emphasize different policy positions when casting roll calls than when communicating their positions to constituents? We theorize that party is less important in legislators' district-oriented behavior than in roll-call voting. When casting roll calls, legislators are agents facin…

The Three Presidencies? Legislative Position Taking in Support of the President on Domestic, Foreign, and Homeland Security Policies in the 107th Congress (2001-02)
Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, a new and salient issue dimension at the nexus of domestic and foreign policies emerged in U.S. politics: homeland security. Given this changed policy agenda in Washington, we suggest that there are no longer two presidencies, but instead three presidencies: the domestic policy presidency, the foreign policy presidency, and the homeland security presidency. We examine the three presidencies h…
Shaping Race Policy
(2006). Shaping Race Policy: The United States in Comparative Perspective by Robert C. Lieberman. Souls: Vol. 8, No. 2, pp. 92-95
America at the Crossroads
The issue of race permeates the social policies in America, and this is clearly evident with an examination of the criminal justice system. Race is the focal point of policies that regulate and maintain the prisonindustrial complex and the collateral consequences of a felony conviction that follow imprisonment. Keywords: raceAmerican democracycollateral consequencessocial policy
Rehabilitated But Not Fit to Vote
Most states exclude felons from the electorate and through a series of interlocking laws, prevent them from casting ballots in most elections, even after former felons complete their entire sentence. Former felons are restricted from voting because of a patchwork of state laws commonly known as felon disenfranchisement laws. These laws differ from state to state but achieve the same end result—the systematic restriction of felons from the voting …
