Treatment Utilization Among Metropolitan and Nonmetropolitan Participants of Corrections-Based Substance Abuse Programs Reentering the Community

ABSTRACT

This study examines differences in drug use and recidivism outcomes at 12 months postrelease from jail or prison as a function of geographic location and treatment utilization. Participants (N= 700) were previously enrolled in drug treatment during the last 6 to 9 months of their incarceration and were released to the community on either parole or serve-out. Findings from this study indicated that offenders returning to metropolitan areas reported more use of community treatment services following release than offenders in nonmetropolitan areas. Although offenders in both metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas who reported community treatment following release were less likely to be reincarcerated, community treatment utilization was not a significant correlate of relapse. Findings are discussed, and future directions include favorable outcomes when community treatment is utilized.     

论死刑犯的生育权问题

死刑犯是否享有生育权,从2001年罗锋案之后就成为关注的焦点,引起了法学理论界的广泛讨论。生育权是一种自然权利,是人格权的一种。根据法无明文禁止的原则,死刑犯应该享有生育权。男死刑犯的生育权可以通过人工受精技术得以实现,．但由于主体的特殊性,其在实现生育权的时候应遵循一定的原则。女死刑犯的生育权由于法律禁止对怀孕的妇女适用死刑及一切形式的代孕,因而女死刑犯的生育权在现行的法律框架下无法实现。要充分体现对死刑犯生育权的保障,应该对我国相关的法律法规予以完善。     

社会工作充权视角下的释犯社区矫正政策分析

我国正在实施的社区矫正政策,是一项以释犯群体为执行对象的公共政策。该政策以司法效率化、行刑社会化、刑罚报应论为出发点和价值取向,决定了该政策的实质是司法矫正而非完全意义上的社区矫正。论文从释犯社会权利保障角度,运用充权理论进行分析,描述了该政策试点实施一年来存在的释犯失权状况,提出了对释犯进行政策性充权、行政性充权和个人充权的设想与建议。      

Newlib的研究与最小实现

对嵌入式C运行库——newlib进行了深入研究,阐述了该运行库在多任务环境下可重入性的实现方法;介绍了移植newlib到嵌入式系统上需要的桩函数及其实现方法,并重点介绍了与I/O相关的四个桩函数open、close、read和write的实现方法,以及动态内存分配器malloc的两种实现方法。     

农民工犯罪倾向的影响因素分析

利用10省份调查数据,在推导出农民工犯罪倾向理论模型基础上,分析农民工服刑人员和不涉罪普通农民工之间在个人特征、家庭特征和行为特征三个维度上变量的总体和内部差异。研究发现：（1）男性、年龄较小、受教育水平低、家庭收入少、母亲受教育水平低、兄弟姐妹个数多、失业严重、曾有违纪违法行为的农民工犯罪倾向高;（2）社会保险状况和犯罪被发现可能性影响不涉罪农民工犯罪倾向;（3）家庭成员犯罪史和刑罚打击力度影响服刑人员农民工犯罪倾向。     

Series editor's foreword

The fugitive and prisoner have played a prominent role in Irish history, literature and politics. It is no surprise, therefore, that he should be inexorably linked with Jacobitism (Irish support for the exile Stuart dynasty), the ideology which sustained Irish national identity between the Battle of the Boyne (1690) and the French Revolution (1789) and the cause which precipitated substantial, sustained migration from Ireland during the course of the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This article will explore the chequered, colourful careers of five prominent Irish Jacobites of various ‘ethnic’ (Gaelic Irish, Old English and New English), confessional (Catholic and Protestant) and professional (aristocrat, clergyman and solider) origins, whose trials, tribulations, incarcerations and escapes bear testimony to the flexibility, geographical mobility and longevity of the Jacobite ideology in Ireland and among the Irish diaspora in Europe. In addition, their sustained traffic with Ireland, England and continental Europe show the crucial role which the Irish diaspora played in Jacobite politics and the extent to which they retained a practical affection for their exiled king, homeland and persecuted peers in Ireland.     

Household Support and Social Integration in the Year After Prison

The conventional household is typically conceived as a fixed residence where married adults pool incomes and raise their children. In poor communities, however, households are often residentially unstable, fluid in composition, and economically insecure. Men and women who leave prison face extreme disadvantage, and their households are likely to shape social integration after incarceration. Drawing on qualitative and quantitative data from the Boston Reentry Study, this article describes the complex living situations of men and women newly released from prison and proposes a multifaceted concept of household support. Regression analysis with an index measuring household support shows that living in a stable well‐resourced household just after prison release is associated with reduced risks of a new criminal charge, social isolation, and unemployment six to twelve months later. More than just a social unit for sampling and enumeration, the analysis suggests the household is an explanatory concept that can account for the social integration of poor, minority populations often detached from formal sources of economic and social support.     

Retention Is Not an Abstract Notion: The Effect of Wages and Caretaking

ABSTRACT

Understanding retention in any profession is dependent on thorough workforce studies. Here, wages and caretaking, and the interaction of the two, were examined to understand retention of social workers. Respondents were 785 Master of social work alumni from the mid-South. Differences among three groups were studied: those working, those who have left the workforce, and those who had left but may return. Of the respondents, 92% thought an above average income was important; 48% of households included children; and 21% reported caretaking others. Wage was not a reason to leave social work but caretaking was. Moreover, caretaking and financial responsibility may be a reason not to return.     

A qualitative exploration of reentry service needs: The case of fathers returning from prison

The challenge of community and family reentry after a parent's release from prison remains an under‐addressed area of collateral damage stemming from high rates of U.S. incarceration. Many fathers released from prison return to living with family, and later attribute family connections and parent–child contact as key factors in their postrelease success. However, reentry planning is hampered by a dearth of research on family‐focused reentry services, and consequently, often omits attention to resuming family and parenting roles. To address this gap, we conducted 38 semi‐structured interviews with 19 previously incarcerated fathers, 9 co‐parenting mothers, and 10 relatives to explore service needs of fathers during reentry. Findings suggest programs not only should be multimodal, emphasizing family connections complemented by socioeconomic, self‐care, and social support services, but also should be accessible and relatable, offered within the community, and engaging for fathers and family members. Findings reinforce the importance of self‐determination and human agency while underscoring the multiple challenges fathers face upon reentry. By including the voices of those most affected by incarceration, this study advances knowledge to shape reentry programs and policies, contributes to efforts addressing criminal justice inequities, and promotes well‐being among formerly incarcerated parents and their families.
