The Impact of Formal Education, Specialized Training, and Offense Type on Perceptions of Employability: Can Bias Toward Hiring a Person With a Criminal History Be Mitigated? International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology (IF 1.645) Pub Date : 2024-04-16 Rheanna L. Standridge, Ashley B. Batastini, Melanie E. Leuty, Richard Mohn
Though hesitations to hire formerly incarcerated individuals are often related to assumptions about a person’s dangerousness, there remain legitimate reasons, such as limited formal education and basic skills, that prevent returning residents from finding work. Previous research suggests that hiring decisions are confounded by offense type, even if an employer would otherwise consider a person with

Gender-responsive Classification of Women in Prison: A Typology Based on Mental Health Symptoms and Coping Strategies International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology (IF 1.645) Pub Date : 2024-04-16 Irina Fanarraga, Katarzyna Celinska
Despite the increase in the incarceration rates of women, most correctional practices are still normed on male samples, including prison classification. Moreover, those classifications do not take into account women’s particular experiences, needs, and unique pathways to criminality. The current research proposes a typology based on female prisoners’ mental health symptoms and coping strategies. The

Prior literature highlights the effectiveness of the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) risk principle when providing community supervision and treatment to general justice-involved individuals and special populations such as individuals convicted of a sexual offense. Individuals deemed high-risk, per risk assessment, should receive the most intensive levels of community supervision and treatment, while

A fundamental challenge facing individuals returning from prison is securing income.

Examining Trajectories of Change on the Dynamic Risk Assessment for Offender Re-Entry (DRAOR) International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology (IF 1.645) Pub Date : 2024-04-05 Danielle J. Rieger, Bronwen Perley-Robertson, Ralph C. Serin
Dynamic risk scales have largely been evaluated using singular assessment scores, including those obtained at the start of supervision. While this approach includes assessment of dynamic factors, it ignores changes with reassessment, failing to examine whether an instrument is truly dynamic in nature. This is problematic, as proximal risk assessments have consistently outperformed baseline assessments

Stalking perpetrators may suffer from maladaptive personality traits, particularly if they stalk in the context of an (ex-)intimate relationship. To date, no study has examined how different personality attributions may relate to stalker motivation, or the behaviors they engage in, and how this differs across victim-perpetrator relationships. Further, the perspective of the victim is often not taken

The literature on procedural justice has been mainly focused on examining whether a fair and respectful treatment affects justice-involved individuals’ legitimacy evaluations and their behavior. It is, however, equally important to examine (a) the role that perceptions of procedural justice play for individuals in their encounters with criminal justice authorities and (b) what makes individuals feel

The State of Mental Health Services for Incarcerated Adults in Ontario: A Scoping Review International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology (IF 1.645) Pub Date : 2024-02-05 Sara Mohamed
Individuals with mental illness are significantly overrepresented in the Canadian justice system.
