Midwifery care is a safe and cost-effective care model; producing excellent outcomes especially for vulnerable and isolated people due to its one-on-one continuity of care and family-centered model. Recent research studies have shown out of hospital birth to have numerous benefits; shorter labors and lower rates of interventions, without an increase in adverse outcomes. These outcomes are more reliable when midwifery care is fully supported and integrated into existing maternity care systems. There are significant barriers to the provision of equitable reproductive health care to pregnant and birthing people in rural and remote areas. This, in the context of the United States being the only country where maternal mortality rates are on the rise. Midwifery care has been proposed as a potential solution but the need for working models of such care exists. The article showcases a working and replicable midwifery care practice model; showing how it can function to address inequity by building collaborative partnerships with other providers to advocate on clients’ behalf and reduce vulnerability to health disparities. This has practice implications for maternity providers and policy makers, introducing how advocacy can help remove the systemic barriers affecting reproductive justice and care.

In his book, Out-of-Control Criminal Justice, the Author, Daniel P. Mears provides readers a comprehensive look at the criminal justice system and the need for a system-based approach to criminal justice reform. The book offers a summary of the latest issues in the criminal justice system and the advancement of criminal justice reform. A description of mechanisms and the existence of device problems is given by the author. He describes protection, fairness, transparency, and efficacy as the four primary priorities of the criminal justice system. The book outlines how the new strategy of criminal justice struggles to adequately meet such aims. Mears discusses how an approach to structure enhancement solutions will better meet the aims of the criminal justice system.

Sexual minorities experience minority stress, which is associated with mental health disparities. However, specific dimensions of identity may buffer against these disparities. While research in other stigmatized populations has found evidence for direct and moderating effects of identity on mental health, limited research has examined these dimensions in sexual minorities. We explored the potential direct and moderating effects of identity dimensions with regards to sexual stigma and mental health. Findings from 209 lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals revealed higher centrality of sexual orientation identity and more positive private regard predicted lower psychological distress and more positive private regard predicted higher self-esteem. Additionally, centrality moderated the effect of public stigma, such that those who reported higher centrality did not report decrements to self-esteem in the face of public stigma to the extent of those with low centrality. Findings suggest centrality and private regard contribute to the psychological wellbeing of sexual minorities.

Individuals and families in rural areas face disparities in health as well as access to healthcare. Research has found that when compared to urban communities, rural areas have worse health outcomes including challenges with mental health, substance abuse, physical health, and sexual health. Relevant findings have also shown that in order to understand these challenges it is important to discuss access, including the different factors involved: availability, affordability, and acceptability. Along with defining access, there are several theories and frameworks that additionally help explain healthcare access in rural areas. Although availability, affordability, and acceptability are important variables when it comes to access, there are also several barriers that must be considered, including poverty, occupation, education, insurance, and lack of competence. Once all of these aspects are addressed, different strategies can be more easily implemented in order to improve health and access to care in rural areas. These different disparities in heath and access to care can be seen throughout the North Country, and can be helpful in understanding the larger pattern of health in rural and urban areas.

Economic abuse is another form of intimate partner violence (IPV) used by batterers to maintain power and control over their partners which often goes unreported, unrealized, and under-supported by IPV survivor advocates. Economic abuse is misunderstood as an IPV and is often incorrectly considered a financial crime, financial fraud, or white-collar crime. Economic abuse impacts the victim’s short and long-term physical and mental well-being in efforts to achieve economic wellness for basic living conditions as well as job placement and professional development opportunities. Healthy minds fuel healthy bodies and economic self-efficacy contributes to both mental and physical health. The awareness and impact of economic abuse is grossly understudied, lacking empirical evidence on victims and survivors of economic self-sufficiency during and at the conclusion of an abusive relationship. The current research has primarily collected and reported data on heterosexual women, leaving a gap in the research regarding the impact of economic abuse in LGBTQ+ relationships. This paper serves as a literature review into current economic abuse research by discussing three constructs: economic control, economic exploitation, and employment sabotage as well as possible solutions for educational opportunities and financial self-efficacy. Further research is needed to raise awareness and provide financial literacy to IPV survivors in all gender communities.

R. Worley, Barua Worley
In his book, Fire in the Big House, criminal justice historian, Mitchel P. Roth provides readers with an in-depth analysis of America’s deadliest penal disaster. The book specifically examines a horrific fire which occurred at the Ohio State Penitentiary in Columbus, Ohio on April 21, 1930—Easter Monday. Even though 320 prisoners perished in this devastating event (plus two more inmates who died later of gunshots indirectly related to the fire), the author notes that there has never been a scholarly book devoted to this topic. Although this event caused only $11,000 in damage to the Columbus institution, Roth contends that it still ranks as America’s third-worst fire (excluding 9/11).

Throughout the 1930s and 1940s birth control became a part of a larger social problem that spanned across political and religious lines. Due to economic issues caused by the Great Depression, bringing children into the world was no longer a feasible dream for many families that already struggled with providing for themselves and any children they already had. The Comstock Laws prevented women from seeking out contraceptive methods to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Men, however, were encouraged during World War II to use contraceptives to prevent pregnancies. While white women were not being given choices on their own reproductive rights, women of color in the South were being forced into sterilization programs. These programs highlight the authority men had over women’s agency at the time. The role of the church at the time is also explored as the Protestant and the Catholic church had drastically different views on the use of birth control.

Fatness can be considered queer through the lens of fat studies and queer theory. Fatness as queer is explored through looking at bariatric weight loss procedures as a way that fat people may “transition” from fat to thin, much like how transgender individuals transition medically and/or surgically from one perceived gender to another.
