ABSTRACT Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) is not a recent phenomenon. However, it increased visibility in Portugal in 2002, when a news piece raised suspicions about numerous public figures. Since then, there has been an upward trend in complaints and has stabilized in recent years. Nevertheless, even though the research emerging, it presents gaps in the characteristics and modus operandi of the child sex offenders in the Portuguese context. This article presents an exploratory study, where 66 case reports of inmates in Portugal (Lisbon District) were convicted for CSA crimes recorded in the last ten years. We used the Multiple Correspondence Analysis and Cluster Analysis as statistical procedures, focusing on the dynamics of the offense, context, number of victims, relationship, and characteristics of the offense. With this analysis, we identified four distinct profiles, which occurs with both techniques. In addition, we found differences regarding the use of aggressivity and/or treating during or after the offense, nature of abuse and introduced the crime admission as an active variable, with contributions to the model definition. According to these results and international literature, we defined our groups in four types: Regressed, Indiscriminate, Inadequate, and Violent. We discuss our results based on the international models and demonstrate affinities with them.

ABSTRACT To the extent that existing gang research is grounded predominantly in quantitative methodology, the subjective and retrospective experience of gang members is often overlooked. With this in mind, the present study adopts a qualitative approach to explore the individual trajectories of gang members, illuminating the psychological processes associated with change to develop understanding of gang membership, identity and desistance. The narratives of five ex-gang members were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis to explore their experiences as they transitioned in and out of the gang. Superordinate themes of “Positioning self in a social world,” “Solutions to identity, meaning and belonging,” and “Catalysts for change” shed light on the similarities and divergence across their experience and are discussed in respect of existing literature. Implications for policy, practice and future research are discussed.

ABSTRACT Precise documentation of criminal proceedings is essential for evidence-based legal investigation. Unfortunately, in several countries there is no obligation to document interrogations electronically. Investigators often take notes to reconstruct the witness statement for protocol writing. This study investigated individual differences in the quality of written records of a mock witness statement in a 2 (Note Taking Style) x 2 (Note Taking Option) pseudorandomized between-subjects design. A part of the participants wrote their records verbatim (e.g., in full sentences without any abbreviations), while the other part wrote their records without any style instruction. In addition, half of the participants took notes every 6 minutes during the video, while the other half took notes after the video. Contrary to hypothesis 1, we did not observe a significant difference for note taking style in the record quality. Consistent with hypothesis 2, participants who took notes every 6 minutes during the video reproduced more correct details than participants who took notes after the video. In accordance with hypothesis 3, higher verbal memory ability was related to a superior reproduction of correct details. Conclusively, higher verbal working memory ability in conjunction with an intermittent note taking style is advantageous for taking protocols.

ABSTRACT Evaluator judgments of defendants’ mental state at the time of the offense (MSO) can influence the trier of fact and have implications for fairness and justice; however, current practices, and their alignment with best practice guidelines, are effectively unknown. The limited existing literature indicates that there are some substantive differences between practice recommendations for MSO evaluations and how they are conducted in practice. The current mixed methods study expanded those findings by revealing several discrepancies among how evaluators endorsed certain collateral data sources, clinical interview topics, and psychological and forensic assessment tools in an ideal evaluation scenario and how those ratings compared to their actual practices, as well as identified the justifications provided for any discrepancies. Overall, results suggest that actual practices are generally aligned with reported ideal practices; however, some discrepancies exist. We discuss these discrepancies in relation to existing ethical and specialty guidelines and propose practice recommendations. In order to protect against potentially biasing information, evaluators are encouraged to institute safeguards when communicating with a defendant’s attorney, implement a systematic review process, and scrutinize their current clinical interviews. Additionally, clinicians should be aware of all measures relevant to the psycholegal construct and may consider requesting further data sources.

ABSTRACT This study aims to understand, through victims’ experiences, the impact and subsequent help-seeking and support process. The data was collected in institutional settings, through a semi-structured interview, from nine adult sheltered victims of labor exploitation of both sexes – 2 females and 7 males, aged between 42–67 years (M = 56.67; SD = 8.411). Thematic analysis was used, and three main themes emerged: formal support system, post-victimization and impact and traumas during formal support. The support provided to the victim was portrayed as effective and adequate; being able to meet the most basic and immediate needs. The victims trusted the police and the governmental institutions and were able to collaborate with the courts. The implications regarding the help-seeking system and public policy are discussed.

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in rapid and unprecedented public policy and legislative interventions to reduce the global spread of the virus. The scope of these challenges has been particularly broad and pressing within health care settings. Individuals with severe mental illness hospitalized in psychiatric facilities are at greater risk of infection than the general population due to both the characteristics of the population (e.g., mentally ill individuals may find the physical distancing measures difficult to understand) and the nature of the settings (e.g., communal living, frequent admissions and discharges). Therefore, it is essential that preventative measures are taken to minimize the chance of nosocomial outbreak in long-term psychiatric facilities; yet minimal information specific to forensic contexts is available. This paper reviews the system-wide strategies that have been put in place across a large Canadian forensic facility and offers recommendations on how to respond to a pandemic or other outbreak in a secure psychiatric setting. Taking the response to COVID-19 in the context of a forensic psychiatric setting, we discuss a wide range of essential aspects of pandemic planning and provide examples of innovative practices that should be considered for retention, future research and broader implementation.

ABSTRACT Forensic psychiatric patients’ low educational attainment is a strong predictor for recidivism. However, there is a lack of studies on the educational background among women admitted to forensic psychiatric care. The study aimed to investigate the educational background among women within a high secure forensic psychiatric setting. A mixed-method design was applied. Data were collected from registers, including medical records, forensic psychiatric investigations, and verdicts (n = 93), and by conducting interviews (n = 61) with women admitted to forensic psychiatric care in Sweden. The women’s education length varied between 5 and 18 years. According to interviews and registers, more than 70% of the women were found to have some school-related problems. In the interviews, some women associated school with conflicts, loneliness, and learning difficulties. Others explained how their disadvantageous home environment and many school changes affected their learning and problems developing and maintaining social relationships. Women with a neurodevelopmental disorder were to a higher degree documented with school-related problems than women without such disorders (97% vs. 63%). The educational attainment varied among the women, and consequently, their educational needs were heterogeneous. Therefore, they should be offered tailored education and vocational support to have an increased prerequisite for adjusting to and participating in society.

ABSTRACT The purpose of the current study was to explore the care related experiences of prison officers working on an Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) Pathway service, located within a prison for young adults. Due to the exploratory nature of the study, a qualitative, grounded theory approach was utilized. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with twelve officers. The data were analyzed in accordance with constructionist grounded theory methodology. The results identified the core category of relationships and two additional categories: impact of caring and development of officers’ caring approach. These categories were integrated into a model of care. Officers reported caring to be both rewarding and challenging. They expressed beliefs that providing care to service users increases wellbeing and reduces recidivism. The results demonstrate a reciprocal nature to care, with officers needing to receive care themselves in order to care effectively for service users. Officers’ approach to caring for service users was dependent upon an interaction between their own experiences of care, care related values, their relationship with individual service users and their own emotional state. Individual officers and the OPD Pathway service could benefit from additional support and understanding from the prison system.

ABSTRACT The current study aimed to increase understanding of men’s experiences of fatherhood in forensic inpatient care; a population overlooked in research and at risk of neglect in clinical practice. Eight participants recruited from forensic inpatient services were interviewed. Data was analyzed via social constructivist Grounded Theory. The central psychological concept developed was that of paternal connection, reflecting a transient sense of connection to the father-child relationship. Core categories included 1) Psychological Processes, 2) Interpersonal Relationships, and 3) Institutional Organization. Fathers in forensic inpatient care experience dynamic psychological connectivity to their paternal relationship, regardless of child contact. This multi-layered experience requires responsive intervention to support fathers in this context. Recommendations for research, practice, and policy are outlined.
