Across disciplines, there has been increased attention to understanding and addressing compounded oppression and marginalization associated with intersecting identities. We argue that involvement with the criminal justice system can, in itself, represent an identity (self-ascribed or not) that interplays with other demographic and systemic variables, making it more difficult for these clients to disconnect from the system. We offer our perspective on integrating conversations and tools focused on intersectionality into assessment and interventions that address criminogenic risks, recommendations for adopting a mixed-methods approach to researching intersectionality in correctional settings that better accounts for individual variability, as well as suggestions for advocacy, policy reform, and graduate-level training. With its emphasis on diversity and multiculturalism, health service psychology and related professions are uniquely poised to help correctional agencies move in a more inclusive direction that will likely improve client well-being and prosocial reengagement as well as reduce continued systemic oppression.

跨学科，人们越来越重视理解和解决与交叉身份相关的复合压迫和边缘化问题。我们认为，参与刑事司法系统本身可以代表与其他人口统计和系统变量相互作用的身份（自我归因或非自我归因），使这些客户更难脱离系统。我们提出了将侧重于交叉性的对话和工具整合到解决犯罪风险的评估和干预措施中的观点，建议采用混合方法研究惩教环境中的交叉性，以更好地考虑个体差异，以及倡导、政策建议改革和研究生水平的培训。
