Book excerpt: Over the last two decades, specialty mental health probation caseloads have become increasingly common -- focusing on offenders with serious mental illness (SMI). Scholars have examined overall effectiveness, the organization and design of these programs, and the differences between standard probation and specialty probation. Less attention, however, has been placed on examining how the officers supervising these SMI caseloads perceive their roles as specialty mental health probation officers and how discretion impacts their caseload management. In the current study semi-structured interviews were conducted with a complete census of 24 SMI caseload probation officers and supervisors in Maricopa County, Arizona over a 14-month data collection period. Using a grounded theory approach, the SMI caseload probation officers' perspectives were explored in detail regarding officer perceptions of the role of a SMI caseload probation officer, as well as their use of discretion in the management of their specialty caseloads.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This qualitative research study was designed to investigate the probation experiences of probationers with mental illness (PMIs). The institutional and structural make-up of probation and the potential for stigma to impact and/or overshadow the experiences of probationers--and specifically their interactions with probation officers (POs)--resulted in the development of three research aims: (1) to elucidate the lived experiences of PMIs within the context of a variety of services available to them both in the criminal justice system and within the wider community; (2) to focus on the impact of the probation experience on PMIs, and; (3) to understand if and how stigma played a role in the probationary practices of POs. This inquiry employed data from semi-structured interviews and observations of PO-PMI dyads in a county-based probation system to give voice to probationers with mental illness, who are among the most marginalized and stigmatized groups in contemporary American society. In providing PMIs with the opportunity to relate their probationary experiences, they also elucidated the complex role of probation officers as enforcer, mentor, ally, and hero. Results indicated that PMIs valued the efforts of their POs in facilitating a variety of developmental tasks and opportunities, and were largely compliant in the face of probation-mandated requirements. Findings from this investigation have broad implications in the fields of criminal justice and mental health counseling."--Page vi.

Book Synopsis Probation, Mental Health and Criminal Justice by : Charlie Brooker
Download or read book Probation, Mental Health and Criminal Justice written by Charlie Brooker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-08-05 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of research and evaluation explores issues in mental health and probation across the globe. The volume offers insight into a wide range of interrelated topics that address the mental health and mental health needs of those under probation supervision. The chapters embrace a range of diverse mental health concerns. The underpinning assumption is that offenders should receive mental healthcare that is 'equivalent' to that received by the general population where this is appropriate. This overview is informed by perspectives from academics and practitioners based in England and the Republic of Ireland, and also includes the views of people with lived experience of the criminal justice system. Building upon and adding to the existing literature in this field, the book will be a valuable resource for academics and researchers as well as those training to work in, and currently working in, the criminal justice and mental health field, and would also be of interest to those working in related healthcare settings.

Book excerpt: This dissertation explores the lives of women who are on the Severely Mentally Ill (SMI) caseload at Maricopa County Adult Probation in Arizona (the Phoenix metro region). The project focuses on three primary issues: (1) what are the pathways to the criminal justice and mental health systems for women on the SMI caseload; (2) how does discretion and expansive formal social control (both benevolent and coercive) impact the lives of these women on the SMI caseload; and, (3) what are the gendered aspects to successful completion of SMI probation. To answer these questions a mixed-methods research design was employed. First, in-depth semi-structured interviews were completed with 65 women on the SMI caseload. Second, these interviews were supplemented with a case file review of each participant, and field observations (encompassing roughly 100 hours) were conducted at the Maricopa County Mental Health Court. Third, analysis also included 5.5 years of quantitative intake data from the SMI caseload, exploring demographic information and risk and assessment needs scores. The biographies of the women on the SMI caseload revealed similar histories of victimization, substance abuse, and relationship difficulty that previous pathways research has noted. Additionally, mental health problems directly impacted the path to the criminal justice system for some women on the SMI caseload. Results also showed many aspects of expanded social control for women on the SMI caseload. This expanded control appeared to be gendered at times and often created double binds for women. Finally, quantitative analysis showed that some predictive factors of SMI probation completion were gendered. Policy implications and summaries of findings are discussed.

Book Synopsis Coercion in Community Mental Health Care by : Andrew Molodynski
Download or read book Coercion in Community Mental Health Care written by Andrew Molodynski and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-21 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of coercion is one of the defining issues of mental health care. Since the earliest attempts to contain and treat the mentally ill, power imbalances have been evident and a cause of controversy. There has always been a delicate balance between respecting autonomy and ensuring that those who most need treatment and support are provided with it. Coercion in Community Mental Health Care: International Perspectives is an essential guide to the current coercive practices worldwide, both those founded in law and those 'informal' processes whose coerciveness remains contested. It does so from a variety of perspectives, drawing on diverse disciplines such as history, law, sociology, anthropology and medicine to provide a comprehensive summary of the current debates in the field. Edited by leading researchers in the field, Coercion in Community Mental Health Care: International Perspectives provides a unique discussion of this prominent issue in mental health. Divided into five sections covering origins and extent, evidence, experiences, context and international perspectives this is ideal for mental health practitioners, social scientists, ethicists and legal professionals wishing to expand their knowledge of the subject area.
Book Synopsis Implementing Evidence-Based Practices in Community Corrections and Addiction Treatment by : Faye S. Taxman
Download or read book Implementing Evidence-Based Practices in Community Corrections and Addiction Treatment written by Faye S. Taxman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-11-20 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community corrections programs are emerging as an effective alternative to incarceration for drug-involved offenders, to reduce recidivism and improve public health and public safety. Since evidence-based practice is gaining recognition as a success factor in both community systems and substance abuse treatment, a merger of the two seems logical and desirable. But integrating evidence-based addiction treatment into community corrections is no small feat—costs, personnel decisions, and effective, appropriate interventions are all critical considerations. Featuring the first model of implementation strategies linking these fields, Implementing Evidence-Based Practices in Community Corrections and Addiction Treatment sets out criteria for identifying practices and programs as evidence. The book’s detailed blueprint is based on extensive research into organizational factors (e.g., management buy-in) and external forces (e.g., funding, resources) with the most impact on the adoption of evidence-based practices, and implementation issues ranging from skill building to quality control. With this knowledge, organizations can set realistic, attainable goals and achieve treatment outcomes that reflect the evidence base. Included in the coverage: Determining evidence for “what works.” Organization change and technology transfer: theory and literature review. The current state of addiction treatment and community corrections. Unique challenges of evidence-based addiction treatment under community supervision. Assessing suitability of evidence-based practice in real-world settings. A conceptual model for implementing evidence-based treatment in community corrections. Implementing Evidence-Based Practices in Community Corrections and Addiction Treatment is a breakthrough volume for graduate- and postgraduate-level researchers in criminology, as well as policymakers and public health researchers.

Book Synopsis Rethinking America’s Correctional Policies by : Anne S. Douds
Download or read book Rethinking America’s Correctional Policies written by Anne S. Douds and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-06-02 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commonsense Choices from Uncommon Voices:Rethinking America’s Correctional Policies brings together the experiences of men who served time in prison with contemporary research on correctional policy. This work combines a voyeuristic desire to observe “evil” and the consequences of the system of punishment, with detached consideration of what those stories can tell us about who we are as a nation and how we treat those who have betrayed the social trust. The authors simultaneously examine first-person accounts of inmate experiences with the correctional system and what actually, works, in operation, to promote the rehabilitative and restorative models of justice so many of our policymakers espouse. Each chapter opens with a vignette, a recollection of an event or series of events, about an inmate’s experience during the various phases of correctional processing. These first-hand accounts have been collected from men who served time in prison. These men’s stories are examined in their own right, then extrapolated to a broader analysis of the underlying social and policy issues to which that vignette speaks. All chapters follow the same structure: (a) opening vignette about a former inmate; (b) analysis, which includes (i) identification of the underlying issue; (ii) reflection; and (iii) extrapolation to a larger policy issue; and (c) recommendations from the field for enacting practice and crafting policy more responsive to the identified issue.
