Evaluating Trauma-Informed Practices in Judicial Settings
The current research introduces trauma-informed courtroom observational rubrics specifically designed to assess the integration of trauma-informed practices within adult and juvenile court systems. Given the high prevalence of trauma among justice-involved individuals, this research addresses a critical gap in evaluating how court proceedings and environments meet trauma-informed care (TIC) principles. The rubrics assess courtroom communication, …
Improvements in Literacy, Stigmatic Views, and Microaggressions Towards Mental Illness for Undergraduate Criminal Justice Majors
Mental illness impacts billions, globally. While mental illness does not predict criminality, many individuals with mental health needs find themselves within the various decision points of the criminal legal system. Research shows that individuals experiencing a mental health challenge and/or crisis are at greater risk for a law enforcement encounter, police use-of-forth, detainment in jail, and court and correctional system involvement. Yet, re…
The Gendered Path for Girls in Rural Communities
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, girls and women represented one of the fastest growing populations within the juvenile and criminal justice systems. Since the spread of COVID-19, suggestions were provided to juvenile justice bodies, encouraging a reduction of youth arrests, detainments, and quicker court processing. Yet, the research comparing peri-COVID-19 changes for girls and boys is lacking, with an oversight to gender trends and rural and ur…
Service-Learning with Undergraduate Criminal Justice Majors
Service-learning is an academic tool used to engage students in a hands-on approach to targeting a community need with an emphasis on reflection. While studies utilizing criminal justice students have shown that on-campus students see value in such experience, little is known about those enrolled in online criminal justice courses. The current study compared a final reflection assignment grade for on-campus and online students in a Victim Advocac…
Rural Culture and Coercive Sexual Environments
Understanding developmental life-course theory for justice-involved girls and women residing in rural coercive sexual environments
Coercive sexual environments (CSE) spotlight spatial disadvantage and sexual exploitation of at-risk girls in the United States. While existing literature explores sexualised culture in rural places, little is known about rural CSEs. The current study folds a developmental life-course framework together with the CSE phenomenon and gendered pathways to assess rural communities’ responses to ‘difficult’ girls. Incarcerated girls and women, as well …
Exposure to Urbanized Poverty and Attitude Change
Criminal justice departments recognize the value of connecting students to real-world problems through service-learning activities. Yet, challenges exist in exposing students to diverse populations. The current study stepped outside the classroom, involving an extra-curricular group of criminal justice students, in a unique service-learning project. Students from a rurally located university traveled to the most poverty-stricken area in Los Angel…
The Architecture of Rural Life
Dense ties and acquaintanceship result in small communities that deal with issues on an individual, informal basis. When issues such as sexual assault arise, if a victim is willing to seek services, studies have found that rurality negatively impedes on this process. The current study takes place in a primarily rural state, representing social control mechanisms somewhat different from cityscapes. The project relies heavily on in-depth interviews…
Voices from Inside the Walls
Public support for rehabilitation has remained fairly steady over the last few decades especially for juvenile offenders. However, most of the public opinion research on the juvenile system has focused on the opinions of the juvenile probation officers and juvenile correctional staff, but the research on the views of juvenile offenders themselves is scarce. The current study examined the actual participants within the juvenile justice system - th…
Surveying Issues That Arise in Women's Prisons
The character Piper Chapman is presented in the Netflix original series, Orange Is the New Black ( OITNB ). Piper's story opens the door to the female correctional facility. With the mass incarceration of non‐violent, drug offending females comes the need for gender‐specific assessment, programming, and reentry efforts. It is the goal of this essay to briefly review several issues observed in OITNB (gender, victimization, sexuality, mental health…
