Reframing school-based restorative justice as a structural population health intervention
A Hermeneutic Phenomenological Study of the Lived Experience of Spiritual Conversion in a Neo-Charismatic Evangelical Context
Finding strength, comfort, and purpose in spirituality after homicide
Surviving Oppression under the Rock
Drawing on standpoint and intersectionality theories, this study explores the degree to which interactions among New York State's Rockefeller Drug Laws and educational and welfare policies have contributed to the maintenance of a culture of surveillance in which the lives of impoverished African Americans are overseen and influenced by oppressive policies and governmental institutions. Qualitative secondary analysis of longitudinal ethnographic d…
Restorative Justice Dialogue
Meaning Making in Survivorship
Meaning making is fast emerging as a core construct in addressing trauma and violent loss. Meaning-making theorists, however, have suggested that people who have suffered severe, direct traumas may be the most likely to search for meaning but the least likely to find it. This unfortunate conclusion is based on empirical studies that have narrowly construed meaning making as "making sense" or "finding benefit" and that have limited their investiga…
Conceptualizing a Holocaust Survivorship Model
This article is one of the first in an issue that presents the findings of the study “Forgiveness, Resiliency, and Survivorship Among Holocaust Survivors” funded by the John Templeton Foundation. The issue includes findings from a major quantitative study of 133 survivors and a number of smaller qualitative studies of sub-samples of survivors. The Templeton study incorporated a number of theoretical frameworks to describe critical events in survi…
Pathways to Self-Sufficiency
This study examined the successes and challenges of refugee entrepreneurs by interviewing 50 refugees, service providers, and technical assistance providers. Qualitative data analyses revealed that successes and challenges occurred both at the individual and family levels as well as at the community and agency levels. The findings underscore the need to acknowledge the importance of the personal characteristics of the individual entrepreneurs, to…
Violent Death
Approximately 1 in 3 Americans have a loved one die in a sudden violent manner in their lifetime. This article examines the postevent experiences of three groups of survivors: survivors of victims of motor vehicle fatalities, suicide, and homicide. The article takes the position that experiences vary, in part, because each group faces different challenges created by the mode of death. Challenges are classified as trauma reactions, negative social…
Victims of Severe Violence in Mediated Dialogue with Offender
A small but growing number of jurisdictions across the U.S. offer victims of severe violence, including homicide, the opportunity to meet in a mediated dialogue session with their offender if they so desire. Such meetings are victim initiated and involve extensive preparation of the parties. This article reports on an intensive qualitative five-year study of mediated dialogue participants in two of the first states in the U.S. to do so, Texas and…
Continuity of activities and child well-being for foster care youth
Reintegrating Children Into the System of Substitute Care
This pilot study presents findings from a project to evaluate a program initiated by a state child welfare agency for its most hard-to-serve youth (N = 46). This emerging population is so dangerous and unmanageable that they are difficult, if not impossible, to place or treat. One state responded to this challenge by providing exceptional care through two residential treatment facilities who followed a no-eject, no-reject policy. Outcome data sho…
Meaning Making in the Aftermath of Homicide
Although sense making or finding benefit are well documented examples of meaning making processes, meaning making grounded in action has received less attention. This article adds a specific demonstration of the relevance of performed meanings to homicide survivors and other traumatized populations through a qualitative study of 38 members of 14 families. The central finding of the study points to "the intense pursuit of what matters" as a major …
Experiences of Covictims of Homicide
Covictims of homicide are a hidden and sparsely researched group whose needs, as crime victims, are neglected and subsumed by the state's agenda for retributive justice. Likewise, their unique and distinct problems are given little consideration in the literature. This article appraises the relevance of the literature on trauma, bereavement, and meaning-making to this population; examines the research on covictims; and discusses the implications …
Alternative Routes to Professional Status
At different times, social work has been caught between its commitment to the poor and disadvantaged and its professional aspirations. This article examines social work’s response to New Careers, a program started under the Office of Economic Opportunity to advance employment for indigenous nonprofessionals in social work, teaching, and nursing. The implementation of New Careers at the University of Minnesota is used as a case study to examine ho…
Journal of family members of homicide victims
Journey of family members of homicide victims
Family members of homicide victims are a neglected population whose posthomicide experience is shaped by the social milieu and primacy of the state's agenda for justice. Themes derived from interviews with 14 families about their lived experience are analyzed and explored through the lens of social constructionist theory, and implications for clinical practice and policy are presented
Restorative Justice Dialogue
Restorative Justice Dialogue is an important addition to the literature on this 30-year-old movement. Umbreit and Armour provide an evidence-based description of the history, practices and future of restorative dialogue that is informed by the values and principles of both social work and spirituality. This is an impressive achievement. Daniel W. Van Ness Prison Fellowship International, Washington DC Restorative justice provides an innovative wa…
