Opioid Message Fatigue in the United States
Background The opioid crisis has generated widespread public attention and messaging. However, persistent messaging may contribute to message fatigue, i.e., feelings of exhaustion and boredom due to excessive and redundant exposure. This study investigates the prevalence of opioid message fatigue among American adults, its association with individual characteristics, and its connection with opioid use disorder (OUD) stigma and policy support for …
Using Latent Class Analysis to Identify Need Typologies for Men Preparing for Re-entry
The current study utilized latent class analysis (LCA) to explore the dynamic needs of 130 men nearing release from prison in Wales, UK. Participants self-assessed their re-entry needs in 12 domains, which included criminogenic and non-criminogenic needs. The analysis identified four distinct need profiles: low needs, emotional/mental health needs, survival resource needs, and high needs, highlighting the varied needs of men facing re-entry and t…
County Characteristics Associated with Implementation Strategies to Reform the Use of Jail for People with Behavioral Health Problems
Counties engage in various strategies to implement behavioral health services in jail and community settings. National initiatives to reduce the use of jail for those with mental illness emphasize four primary implementation strategies: relationship building among agencies, performance monitoring, integration of care across agencies, and consensus on common goals. Using survey data from 519 U.S. counties, this research employs hierarchical linear…
Barriers to Medication for Opioid Use Disorder Implementation in Jails and Postincarceration Community Settings
Embedded within a larger randomized controlled trial assessing implementation strategies for delivering medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) in jails and during transition to community treatment, this article focuses on barriers to MOUD. Twenty-three qualitative interviews representing 19 organizations were conducted to understand these barriers. The three that surfaced as most pertinent are: policy, organizational structure, and stigma rel…
The Who, What, and How of Interagency Criminal Justice–Behavioral Health Teams
Interagency teams are considered an evidence-based change practice, but there is a paucity of research examining them in criminal justice (CJ) and behavioral health (BH) reform contexts. This study draws on qualitative interviews ( n = 52) and survey data ( n = 791) from BH and CJ leaders across the United States to examine who is on them, what they do, and effective strategies for building and sustaining them. Findings indicated that CJ–BH inter…
Tackling the Issue of Limited Dialogue and Strengthening Collaboration Among Court Actors for Improving the Condition-Setting Process
The concept of the courtroom workgroup highlights the collaboration among judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys in the criminal justice system. Traditionally, this workgroup excludes probation officers, presenting a significant gap in information for sentencing and probation condition-setting processes. Our study explores probation officers’ perspectives on their roles within the courtroom workgroup, emphasizing their importance in sentencin…
Digital Justice
Digital technologies, particularly apps, are increasingly used to support criminal legal system-involved people (CLSIP). However, research on CLSIP's access to smartphones, data, and digital skills is limited. Our mixed methodology study, involving 41 CLSIP in Wales, UK, explored smartphone and app usage via observations and a survey. Findings reveal multifaceted barriers ranging from affordability, digital competency, literacy, and trust issues.…
Best Practices for Neglected Assumptions
In the assessment world, risk determines “who” to treat and needs determine “what” (Bonta & Andrews, 2016). Yet, for youth, greater emphasis is placed on needs that target recidivism reduction interventions. Unlike risk, needs represent dynamic domains, or latent constructs, requiring testing to assure adequate measurement. We conducted a multi-level, multi-group analysis of the Modified Positive Achievement Change Tool (MPACT) with a 10-state sa…

This article proposes a new taxonomy and framework for social support interventions for PWUD and PCLI—organized by endogenous, exogenous, and hybrid support agents—and outlines future priorities for implementation, effectiveness, and supporting supporters
Using narrative and informational messages to improve correctional professionals’ attitudes toward medications for opioid use disorder
BACKGROUND: Criminal legal involved (CLI) individuals face a heightened risk of opioid misuse and overdose, yet access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) is limited, particularly in criminal legal settings. Negative attitudes and misinformation about MOUD are prevalent among legal system actors, creating a barrier to MOUD access. This study examines the effectiveness of informational and narrative messages in correcting misinformation …
Strengthening community services to keep individuals with mental illness out of jail
Understanding the access to and use of digital technology by people in the criminal legal system
BACKGROUND: There is growing recognition of digital technology's role in supporting desistance and improving the well-being and social inclusion of people in the criminal legal system (CLS). However, it remains significantly under-researched within England and Wales despite its implications for prison and probation policy and practice. This article provides empirical insights into the access to and use of digital technology and the digital compet…

The cost of implementing and sustaining an evidence-based, behavioral-health electronic screening system in probation departments
BACKGROUND: Roughly 50%-75% of youths who have had contact with the juvenile justice system have a mental-health disorder. In 2019, a northeastern state required probation departments to implement an evidence-based behavioral health (BH) screen. e-Connect is a digital clinical decisional support system designed to identify suicide thoughts and behaviors and related BH risk and triage youths based on BH need, then facilitate linkage to care. OBJEC…
Trust in doctors, social support, and belief in Covid-19 misinformation
These findings confirm that trust in doctors is an important protective factor against COVID-19 misinformation. The role of social support, however, is more nuanced and warrants continued research that considers both support sources and the racial and ethnic background of the communities involved
Implementation science (IS)—A game changer for criminology and criminal justice
Research summary Implementation science (IS) is an emerging field that is infrequently used in criminology and criminal justice. IS offers criminology and criminal justice new methods to describe and measure innovations, and new and rigorous research designs that include measuring the implementation of innovations, examining implementation or change strategies, and pursuing a myriad of implementation outcomes. Most important is that the emphasis …
Institutional Myths of the Probation Field
Probation is common globally, and many probation clients receive violations. Research on violations focuses on client characteristics or probation officer (PO) decision-making without considering the influence of the courtroom workgroup of judges, prosecutors and defence attorneys. Based on interviews with 94 POs in a statewide US probation agency, we analyse POs’ perceptions of their interactions with the courtroom workgroup using an inhabited i…
Exploring County-Level Resources Influencing Evidence-Based Practices and Treatment Uptake in Behavioral Health Settings
Evidence-Based Practices and Treatments (EBPTs) are recommended to improve outcomes for individuals with behavioral health disorders and the service delivery system. However, costs associated with EBPTs are frequently cited as a barrier to implementation and sustainability. This study examines the relationship between existing and new resources and the availability of different types of EBPTs for individuals involved with criminal-legal systems (…
Implementing Reform
To reduce the overrepresentation of people with behavioral health conditions in jails, jurisdictions have implemented evidence-based programs/policies (EBPPs) and treatments (EBTs). Using survey data from 519 U.S. counties, the present study classifies and evaluates the impact of strategies used to implement EBPPs and EBTs. Exploratory factor analysis identified four implementation approaches (i.e., clusters of strategies) which counties utilize …
Revisiting the effectiveness of Hope/swift‐certain‐fair supervision programs
Predictors of mental health among U.S. adults during Covid-19 early pandemic, mid- pandemic, and post-vaccine eras
Our results highlight the need for widespread mental health interventions and health promotion to address challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Due to the worse mental health observed among Asians, younger adults, women, low-income families, those with a higher level of concern for COVID-19, people who lost someone to COVID-19, and/or individuals with histories of opioid use disorder and criminal legal involvement, over the period o…

Objectives. To document state Medicaid pre- and postrelease initiatives for individuals in the criminal legal system with substance use disorder (SUD). Methods. An Internet-based survey was sent in 2021 to Medicaid directors in all 50 US states and the District of Columbia to determine whether they were pursuing initiatives for persons with SUD across 3 criminal legal settings: jails, prisons, and community corrections. A 90% response rate was ob…
Impact of County-level health infrastructure on participation in a reform effort to reduce the use of jail for individuals with mental health disorders
Viewing Then Doing
Background. Overdose deaths in the United States (U.S.) surpassed 100,000 in 2021. Problem-solving courts (PSCs), which originally began as drug courts, divert people with nonviolent felonies and underlying social issues (e.g. opioid use disorders (OUDs)) from the carceral system to a community-based treatment court program. PSCs are operated by a collaborative court staff team including a judge that supervises PSC clients, local court coordinato…
What Matters More in Explaining Drug Court Graduation and Rearrest
This study examines the program- and individual-level factors that impact the success of drug court clients in terms of: (1) graduation; and (2) not being arrested while participating in the court program. The data consist of 848 individuals in nine drug courts. This paper discusses how different individual- and program-level factors impact the success of drug court participants. The findings suggest that individual- and program-level factors are…
No Illusions
Research Summary Evidence‐based supervision is the newest in a long line of efforts to advance community corrections. This new model adopts a risk‐need‐responsivity model where the agency uses a risk and need tool to identify appropriate treatment and control services and then assigns offenders to such services. Underscoring this new approach is the creation of a social learning environment that makes supervision officers active in facilitating o…
Risk Tells Us Who, But Not What or How
Research Summary The current study used latent class analysis (LCA) to identify profiles of criminogenic needs in a sample of 17,252 community‐supervised individuals from one state's probation system. The purpose of this research was to illustrate the complexity of offender need profiles to inform the development and implementation of correctional interventions. The LCA analyses revealed four classes of dynamic needs. Conditional item probabiliti…

How well do dynamic needs predict recidivism? Implications for risk assessment and risk reduction
Managing from the Middle
Frontline supervisors serve in a critical role, maintaining relationships between upper management and frontline workers; however, we still know relatively little about how subordinates view their power in relation to their supervisors and how frontline supervisors understand and exercise their own power. Focusing on street‐level workers and frontline supervisors across a statewide community corrections agency, we explore perceptions, experiences…

Why People Who Inject Drugs Voluntarily Transition Off Methadone in Ukraine
Methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) treats opioid use disorder among people who inject drugs (PWID). To understand why PWID may voluntarily discontinue MMT, we analyzed data from 25 focus groups conducted in five Ukrainian cities from February to April 2013 with 199 participants who were currently, previously, or never on MMT. Using constant comparison method, we uncovered three themes explaining why PWID transition off MMT: (a) purposeful resist…

Fidelity Measures for Risk-Need Assessment (RNA) Tools Usage in Case Plans
Risk-need assessment (RNA) tools are considered the gold standard of probation and parole supervision. The value of having an RNA tool is that the information can be used in case plans and supervising individuals. Practitioners and researchers frequently observe that officers fail to use RNA results in case plans. This study fills in this research gap by providing four fidelity measures to assess how well probation officers incorporated RNA tool …
Sex-Related Disparities in Criminal Justice and HIV Treatment Outcomes
Objectives. We evaluated sex-related differences in HIV and criminal justice (CJ) outcomes. Methods. We quantified sex-related differences in criminal offenses, incarcerations, and HIV outcomes among all HIV-infected inmates on antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Connecticut (2005–2012). Computed criminogenic risk scores estimated future CJ involvement. Stacked logistic regression models with random effects identified significant correlates of HIV vi…

Brick Walls Facing Reentering Offenders
Citizenship is a birthright generally afforded to all members of society. Upon reentry to the community from prison, offenders are expected to assume a citizenship role; however, existing structural barriers, as well as the actions and behaviors of law enforcement and community agencies, may reinforce the outcast persona. The offender needs social and psychological support to sustain a citizenship role, and the conditions of the current criminal …
Women and the Criminal Justice System
Proportionately women offenders are growing among the ranks of those involved in the correctional system in the U.S. This paper presents an overview of the characteristics of women offenders, our state of knowledge about programs and services for women, and policy choices regarding how to handle the increasing number of women in the criminal justice system. Using the evidence-based practices literature, the needs of the women are compared to the …
Reforming Drug Treatment Services to Offenders
For the past 2 decades the U.S. “war on drugs” has contributed to soaring incarceration rates, prison overcrowding, and overly harsh and race-based sentencing. This article calls for reform of drug treatment services for drug-addicted offenders. This article introduces an integrated model for delivering drug treatment services by improving cross-system collaboration along a seamless continuum of care. We offer practical principles and policies fo…
HCV in Incarcerated Populations
While studies have explored the prevalence and correlates for hepatitis C (HCV) infection in substance-using and incarcerated populations these studies have not examined the attributes of criminal histories for those with HCV infection. This study examines the HCV infection rate as it relates to criminal risk factors using baseline data from a randomized trial of re-entering offenders and examines how these risk factors vary by gender. The HCV-po…

The Heath & Justice journal is devoted to addressing the unmet needs of those involved in or working in the justice system. With attention to both health and justice processes and outcomes, this journal is designed to provide a forum for scholarship and research that is usually dispersed across many different disciplines. In this article, we focus on the need for more service related research to broaden our understanding of how to improve system,…
Community Supervision and Diversion in the United States
Misalignment in Supervision
Risk and needs assessment (RNA) tools are well regarded as a critical component of a community corrections organization implementing evidence-based practices (EBPs), given the potential impact of using such tools on offender-level and system outcomes. The current study examines how probation officers (POs) use a validated RNA tool in two adult probation settings. Using interview and observational data, this study explores how POs use an assessmen…
Health-related factors predict return to custody in a large cohort of ex-prisoners
Numerous poor health outcomes have been documented in the world’s large and growing population of prisoners and ex-prisoners. Repeat justice involvement and incarceration is normative for ex-prisoners in most countries. This study aimed to identify important health-related predictors of re-incarceration and to quantify their contribution to predicting re-incarceration. Participants were 1 325 adult ex-prisoners in Queensland, Australia. We develo…

Social support quality and availability affects risk behaviors in offenders
BACKGROUND: on unprotected sex, criminal risk, and substance use. METHODS: We used data from 330 drug-involved offenders. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to model and test path directionality and magnitude between the latent constructs of social support quality and quantity on risky behaviors. RESULTS: The SEM indicated the latent construct of social support quality was significantly associated with reduced sexual risk behavior (β = -…
American Exceptionalism in Community Supervision
This chapter explores whether the concept of American exceptionalism applies to the discourse and conduct of community supervision in its main variant—probation—when comparing the United States with Europe. Community supervision in the United States does not serve merely as a stand-alone punishment. It functions frequently as a much-less-acknowledged “front door” to incarceration due to failures in its conduct. It is often used after incarceratio…
