Lessons Learned from a Formative Evaluation of Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Co-located Centers
Intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual violence (SV) survivors must navigate fragmented and burdensome service systems to address their needs. Co-located service models bring multiple services into one location to facilitate coordination and collaboration and enhance survivor outcomes. However, limited research has examined the implementation or effectiveness of these models. This study describes a formative evaluation of six IPV/SV co-locate…
Specialized Mental Health Supervision
Although many studies have investigated the disproportionate representation and negative experiences of justice-involved persons with mental illness (MI), we know less about probation/parole revocations among this population. Using statewide data and propensity score matching, we compare rates of rearrests and revocations between individuals with and without MI and assess the effectiveness of Specialized Mental Health Supervision (SMHS) in reduci…
Human Trafficking in Correctional Institutions
Growing awareness of the overlap between justice involvement and human trafficking victimization has led to calls for correctional institutions to prevent, identify, and respond to trafficking. However, it is unclear how correctional facilities (i.e., jails and prisons) are responding to such calls to action. To examine current efforts to address human trafficking in U.S. correctional facilities, this study surveyed correctional and anti-traffick…
Identifying Multilevel Community Supervision Challenges to Inform Diversion Approaches for People With Mental Illnesses
Efforts to divert people with mental illnesses from the criminal legal system are widespread among mental health and criminal justice authorities. Most diversion efforts focus on directing individuals with mental illnesses to treatment; however, these treatment-focused interventions are an insufficient approach to diverting people with mental illnesses from the criminal legal system and fail to adequately address organizational and system-level f…
Strategies for supervising people with mental illnesses on probation caseloads
Probation officers are tasked with supervising the largest number of people living with mental illnesses in the criminal legal system, with an estimated 16–27% of individuals on probation identified as having a mental health condition. While academic research has recently focused on building the evidence base around the prototypical model of specialty mental health probation, less focus has been directed to the individual components of specialize…
A Scoping Review of Human Trafficking Screening and Response
Service providers are increasingly asked to identify individuals who are experiencing trafficking and to connect them with resources and support. Nonetheless, identification is complicated by the reality that those who are experiencing trafficking may rarely self-identify, and providers may fail to identify individuals who are experiencing trafficking due to lack of guidance on how to screen for trafficking capably and sensitively. With the aim o…
Individuals With Mental Illnesses on Probation
Little research exists about PTSD and traumatic experiences among justice-involved individuals with mental illnesses and how those experiences differ by race and gender. We examined traumatic experiences and PTSD among 187 individuals with serious mental illnesses on probation in the United States: 94% of participants experienced a traumatic event, rates of PTSD were highest among Black women ( p < .001), and rates of sexual assault were highest …
Systematic Review of Research on Co-Location Models for Serving Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survivors
Preparing Social Workers to Confront Social Injustice and Oppression
Since the presidential election of 2016, bias-related incidents, hate-filled rhetoric, and extremist violence have been increasing in the United States. Because social workers are often working with individuals and communities affected by these incidents, practitioners may have increasing responsibility to confront social injustice and oppression. However, limited evidence on the preparedness of social workers to assume this responsibility, parti…
Using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research to examine implementation determinants of specialty mental health probation
BACKGROUND: Specialty mental health probation (SMHP) is designed to improve outcomes for the large number of people with serious mental illnesses who are on probation and/or parole. The evidence for specialty mental health probation is promising; however, little is known about the implementation challenges and facilitators associated with SMHP. To address this gap, we used the consolidated framework for implementation research (CFIR) to analyze 2…
Statewide mental health training for probation officers
BACKGROUND: The large and growing number of probationers with mental illnesses pose significant challenges to the probationer officers who supervise them. Stigma towards mental illnesses among probation officers is largely unstudied and the effectiveness of training initiatives designed to educate probation officers about mental illness is unknown. To address these gaps in the literature, we report findings from a statewide mental health training…
