  • A pretrial release policy based on risk assessment would reduce unnecessary incarceration, increase racial fairness, and save money

    Open AccessJennifer L Skeem, Lina Montoya et al.ARTICLECriminology & Public Policy2026

    Research Summary Pretrial reform is vital, as nearly 500,000 unconvicted people are held in U.S. jails while awaiting trial. Risk assessment instruments (RAIs) offer data‐driven identification of defendants who are unlikely to reoffend and can safely be released, yet face criticism from across the political spectrum—for potentially perpetuating racial bias or endangering public safety. Moreover, inconsistent judicial application undermines the ef…

  • Enhancing engagement in HIV care among adolescents and young adults

    Open AccessHarriet Fridah Adhiambo, Clovis Mwamba et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Structural, psychological, and clinical barriers to HIV care engagement among adolescents and young adults living with HIV (AYAH) persist globally despite gains in HIV epidemic control. Phone-based peer navigation may provide critical peer support, increase delivery flexibility, and require fewer resources. Prior studies show that phone-based navigation and automated text messaging interventions improve HIV care engagement, adherence, and retenti…

  • Experiences and perceptions of conditional cash incentive provision and cessation among people with HIV for care engagement

    Open AccessJulia Giordano, Jayne Lewis-Kulzer et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    CCTs do not appear to exert their effects through motivation, but instead act through creating opportunities for better care engagement. This study helps us better understand the durability of financial incentives for HIV care engagement and support the idea that careful consideration be exercised when implementing incentives for sustainable engagement effects

  • Understanding racial disparities in pretrial detention recommendations to shape policy reform

    Open AccessJennifer L Skeem, Lina Montoya et al.ARTICLECriminology & Public Policy2023Referências: 5

    Research Summary Federal pretrial services and probation officers assess defendants and make influential recommendations that defendants be either released or detained, based on their threat to community safety and risk of flight. To inform efforts to reduce disparities in pretrial detention, we examined officers’ decision making about 149,815 defendants across 81 districts. Overall, the probability of a detention recommendation was 34% higher fo…

  • Attitudes towards and experiences with economic incentives for engagement in HIV care and treatment

    Open AccessSarah Iguna, Monica Getahun et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Growing literature has shown heterogenous effects of conditional cash incentives (CCIs) on HIV care retention. The field lacks insights into reasons why incentives impact various patients in different ways–differences that may be due to variations in psychological and social mechanisms of effect. A deeper understanding of patients’ perceptions and experiences of CCIs for retention may help to clarify these mechanisms. We conducted a qualitative s…
