PurposeGiven the amount of research examining the association between trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with aggression and violence, few studies have focussed on a UK prison population. Additionally, few have examined the relationship between PTSD symptoms, aggression and violence perpetrated in custody. The purpose of this paper is to explore the association between PTSD and violence against the person in prison, and the association between PTSD and having a conviction for violence against the person.Design/methodology/approachThe sample consisted of 110 participants from a male prison in England (young offenders and adult prisoners). They were assessed for PTSD symptoms using the Detailed Assessment of Posttraumatic Stress (DAPS; Briere, 2001), their criminal history and custodial behaviour was analysed.FindingsThe findings revealed that symptoms of PTSD were significantly associated with violence in prison, however, symptoms of PTSD were not found to be significantly associated with having a violent conviction. Further analysis using logistic regression found having a violent conviction, age and PTSD symptoms were significant predictors of violence in prison.Research limitations/implicationsThe limitations of this study are the reliance on a self-report measure to assess symptoms of PTSD, the small sample size and the absence of a control group.Practical implicationsThe results highlighted the need for staff training and the availability of a service to assess and treat PTSD. This would increase the well-being of offenders and support the current HM Prison Service violence reduction strategies.Originality/valueThis study provides new research into the UK prison population.
目的鉴于对创伤和创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)与攻击和暴力之间关系的大量研究,很少有研究关注英国监狱人口。此外,很少有人研究创伤后应激障碍症状、攻击性和在押期间实施的暴力之间的关系。本文的目的是探讨创伤后应激障碍与监狱中对人施暴之间的联系,以及创伤后应激应激障碍与对人施暴定罪之间的联系。设计/方法/方法该样本由来自英国一所男性监狱的110名参与者(年轻罪犯和成年囚犯)组成。使用创伤后应激详细评估(DAPS;Briere,2001)对他们的创伤后应激障碍症状进行评估,并分析他们的犯罪史和监禁行为。研究结果显示,创伤后应激障碍的症状与监狱中的暴力行为显著相关,然而,创伤后抑郁障碍的症状没有被发现与暴力定罪显著相关。使用逻辑回归的进一步分析发现,有暴力定罪、年龄和创伤后应激障碍症状是监狱暴力的重要预测因素。研究局限性/含义本研究的局限性在于依赖自我报告来评估创伤后应激障碍症状,样本量小,并且缺乏对照组。实际意义研究结果强调了员工培训的必要性以及评估和治疗创伤后应激障碍的服务的可用性。这将提高罪犯的福祉,并支持英国皇家监狱管理局目前的减少暴力战略。原创性/价值这项研究为英国监狱人口提供了新的研究。

PurposeThe commercialized sexual exploitation of children (CSEC), specifically child trafficking, prostitution, pornography, and enticement, has become a burgeoning topic over the past several decades. The purpose of this paper is to determine the characteristics of those victims who were at risk for sex trafficking, prostitution, pornography, and traveling/enticement.Design/methodology/approachThis observational, survey design includes a records review of 18 victims who were identified by the FBI Miami Field Office. Case illustrations are provided for a more in-depth analysis of CSEC victims.FindingsThe results of this paper indicated that hands-on sexual abuse and child prostitution were the most common CSEC offenses that victims experienced. Additionally, Caucasian females, between 13 and 18 years of age, were often victimized. Victims more frequently experienced web forms of sexual abuse and engaged in risky sexual behaviors outside of the victimization. Further, the majority of victims in the sample came from a low socioeconomic background and lived in a single-parent home.Practical implicationsThe current results, combined with prior research, may aid law enforcement, mental health, and medical professionals in understanding potential characteristics correlated with various forms of CSEC offenses.Originality/valueTo the authors’ knowledge, this is one of the first descriptive studies involving case illustrations of CSEC victims.
目的对儿童的商业性剥削,特别是贩卖儿童、卖淫、色情和引诱,在过去几十年里已经成为一个新兴的话题。本文的目的是确定那些有性交易、卖淫、色情和旅行/引诱风险的受害者的特征。设计/方法/方法这一观察性调查设计包括对联邦调查局迈阿密办事处确认的18名受害者的记录审查。提供了案例说明,以便对CSEC受害者进行更深入的分析。研究结果表明,动手性虐待和儿童卖淫是受害者经历的最常见的CSEC犯罪。此外,年龄在13至18岁之间的高加索女性经常成为受害者。受害者更频繁地经历网络形式的性虐待,并在受害之外从事危险的性行为。此外,样本中的大多数受害者来自低社会经济背景,居住在单亲家庭中。实际含义当前的结果,结合先前的研究,可能有助于执法、心理健康和医疗专业人员了解与各种形式的CSEC犯罪相关的潜在特征。原创性/价值据作者所知,这是第一批涉及CSEC受害者案例插图的描述性研究之一。

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore patient and staff views of a new intervention “Talking Groups” within a medium secure setting.Design/methodology/approachSeven patients and eight members of staff who had attended Talking Groups in the medium secure wards participated in semi-structured interviews. Interviews were transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis.FindingsThe analysis revealed four key themes related to the aims, content and perceived benefits of Talking Groups: information; relationship building; engagement and patient involvement in developing activities/interventions.Practical implicationsIf Talking Groups are extended to other wards in the medium secure unit, information sessions should continue as part of the groups, as these were valued by patients and provided useful information about transition, human rights and medication.Originality/valueThe findings suggest that Talking Groups have benefits for patients and staff within this medium secure setting. Findings from this evaluation can be used to inform the development of Talking Groups across different wards in this unit.
目的探讨在中等安全环境下,患者和医护人员对“谈话小组”的新干预措施的看法。设计/方法/方法参加过中等安全病房谈话小组的7名患者和8名工作人员参加了半结构化访谈。访谈记录和分析采用专题分析。调查结果分析揭示了与谈话小组的目标、内容和预期收益相关的四个关键主题:信息;建立关系;参与和患者参与制定活动/干预措施。实际影响:如果将谈话小组扩展到中等安全病房的其他病房,应继续作为小组的一部分举办信息会议,因为这些会议受到病人的重视,并提供关于过渡、人权和药物治疗的有用信息。独创性/价值研究结果表明,在这种中等安全的环境中,谈话小组对患者和工作人员都有好处。这个评估的结果可以用来为本单元不同病房的谈话小组的发展提供信息。

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to evaluate the prevalence of mental health disorder symptoms in a sample of prisoners in Trinidadian prisons who volunteered to attend anger management groups.Design/methodology/approachA survey was conducted using the 90-item Symptom Check-List revised (SCL-90-R) which was administered to prisoners in groups within the prison system. In total 132 prisoners (about 9 per cent of the prison population) completed the measure. The effect sizes of prisoners’ similarities to a psychiatric inpatient group and their differences from a non-patient group were used to identify symptoms most indicative of pathology in these prisoners.FindingsThe results on the SCL-90-R indicate that this group of prisoners (77.3 per cent male) had scores of psychiatric symptomatology that were much closer to a psychiatric inpatient population rather than to a general community population.Practical implicationsThese results suggest there may be unmet psychiatric need among the population served by the prison services in Trinidad. It is not known how this sample differs from the general prison population. However, the unmet psychiatric need in this specific population suggests that a greater mental health focus in health services within prisons is to be considered to meet these needs.Originality/valueThese data suggest that there are significant mental health issues for some prisoners in Trinidad and possibly more generally in similar prison systems within the Caribbean and this may have significant implications for the treatment of prisoners and the delivery of mental health services in these prisons.
目的本文的目的是评估特立尼达监狱中自愿参加愤怒管理小组的囚犯中心理健康障碍症状的患病率。设计/方法/方法使用修订的90项症状检查表(SCL-90-R)对监狱系统内的囚犯分组进行调查。总共有132名囚犯(约占监狱人口的9%)完成了这项措施。囚犯与精神病住院组的相似性及其与非患者组的差异的影响大小被用来确定这些囚犯最能表明病理的症状。结果SCL-90-R的结果表明,这组囚犯(77.3%的男性)的精神症状评分更接近精神病住院人群,而不是普通社区人群。实际意义这些结果表明,在特立尼达监狱服务的人群中,可能存在未满足的精神需求。目前尚不清楚这一样本与普通监狱人口有何不同。然而,这一特定人群中未满足的精神需求表明,为了满足这些需求,需要考虑在监狱内的卫生服务中更加注重精神健康。原创性/价值这些数据表明,特立尼达的一些囚犯以及加勒比地区类似监狱系统中的一些囚犯存在严重的心理健康问题,这可能对这些监狱中囚犯的待遇和提供心理健康服务产生重大影响。

PurposeAlthough fraud is widespread, little remains known about the specific psychological characteristics of fraudsters that can be used in prevention or treatment. The purpose of this paper is therefore to examine the socio-emotional competencies and moral judgement abilities of convicted fraudsters in comparison with other groups of offenders.Design/methodology/approachThe investigation included imprisoned face-to-face fraudsters (n=11), imprisoned violent offenders (n=10) and non-offenders who had completed the Emotional Competence Questionnaire and the Sociomoral Reflection Measure.FindingsFraudsters displayed a significantly higher capacity to recognise emotions in others compared with the other two groups. In addition, there were no differences in socio-emotional skills between the groups. In terms of moral judgement ability, fraudsters and non-offenders demonstrated a level of a mature moral judgement. The moral judgement abilities of the violent offenders were significantly lower.Practical implicationsTherapeutic work with fraudsters should focus on the awareness and sense of responsibility for fellow human beings having regard to their specific self-image and justification schemes. For prevention, an adoption of a structural orientation of work processes, that is, geared more towards teamwork is recommended. Moreover, a positive impact of unethical management on the risk of fraud offenses is pointed out.Originality/valueThis paper follows an innovative methodological approach by examining the socio-emotional competencies and moral judgement abilities of convicted fraudsters and has implications for risk management both therapeutically and organisationally.
目的:尽管欺诈行为普遍存在,但人们对欺诈者的具体心理特征知之甚少,这些特征可用于预防或治疗。因此,本文的目的是研究被判诈骗犯的社会情感能力和道德判断能力,并与其他罪犯群体进行比较。研究对象包括被监禁的面对面诈骗犯(n=11)、被监禁的暴力犯罪者(n=10)和未犯罪的人,他们完成了情绪能力问卷和社会道德反思量表。研究结果与其他两组相比,欺诈者表现出明显更高的识别他人情绪的能力。此外,两组之间的社会情感技能也没有差异。在道德判断能力方面,诈骗者和非犯罪者表现出一定程度的成熟道德判断。暴力犯罪者的道德判断能力显著降低。实际意义欺诈者的治疗工作应侧重于意识和责任感,考虑到他们特定的自我形象和辩护方案。为了预防,建议采用工作过程的结构导向,即更倾向于团队合作。此外,还指出了不道德管理对欺诈犯罪风险的积极影响。原创性/价值本文采用了一种创新的方法方法,通过检查被定罪的欺诈者的社会情感能力和道德判断能力,并对治疗和组织上的风险管理产生影响。

IF 0.7 Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2018-06-14 DOI: 10.1108/JFP-03-2018-0007
Kevin Smith, Becky Milne
PurposeHigh-profile critical incidents involving multiple witnesses, particularly terrorist attacks, have increased over the years. The purpose of this paper is to describe the components of a witness interview strategy for this type of investigation. Central to these cases is a need for a triage system which deals with a large number of witness/victim interviews that must be conducted fast time.Design/methodology/approachThis paper was developed based on the experience of the authors who provide practical advice and support to these types of investigations and a dialogue with police interview advisers involved in developing this type of strategy.FindingsA witness interview strategy for critical incidents involving multiple witnesses should be set within a framework that covers initial contact with the witnesses, the interview process and post-interview processes.Practical implicationsIt is important that a witness interview strategy is developed for any critical incident involving multiple witnesses to ensure that what could otherwise be a chaotic process is effectively managed.Originality/valueNo other papers have been published that consider the development of witness interview-strategies for multiple-witnesses in critical incidents.
目的涉及多名证人的高调重大事件,特别是恐怖袭击,近年来有所增加。本文的目的是描述这类调查的证人面谈策略的组成部分。这些案件的核心是需要一个分诊系统,该系统处理必须快速进行的大量证人/受害者面谈。设计/方法/方法本文是根据作者的经验编写的,作者为这些类型的调查提供了实用的建议和支持,并与参与制定此类策略的警方面谈顾问进行了对话。调查结果涉及多名证人的重大事件的证人面谈策略应在一个涵盖与证人的初步接触、面谈过程和面谈后过程的框架内制定。实际含义重要的是,针对涉及多名证人的任何关键事件制定证人面谈策略,以确保有效管理原本可能是混乱的过程。原创性/价值尚未发表其他论文,考虑在重大事件中为多名证人制定证人访谈策略。

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the views and opinions of offender supervisors and offender managers regarding the sequencing of interventions for prisoners in England. More specifically, the research aims to gain an understanding of any barriers to implementing desired practice.Design/methodology/approachSemi-structured interviews were conducted with ten participants located across four HM prisons in the West Midlands. Questions were designed to gather information and views regarding: current practice in the area of sequencing of interventions; opinions on the potential importance of coherent sequencing of interventions; views on how interventions should be sequenced; and what, if any, issues impacted upon coherent sequencing. Thematic analysis was used to identify, analyse and report themes within the interviews.FindingsParticipants discussed current practice regarding the sequencing of interventions and made suggestions regarding tailoring the sequence of interventions to the individual offender. The issue of readiness to change was emphasised (i.e. engagement with interventions will increase where offenders are able to participate in an intervention when they feel ready to do so). In addition, participants commented that they felt there to be insufficient resources at their disposal which led to barriers to the coherent sequencing of interventions (e.g. waiting lists for treatment programmes).Practical implicationsSuggestions were made by participants regarding the coherent sequencing of interventions; for example, providing prisoners with experience of a generic group intervention prior to an offence-specific intervention, prioritising motivation to change and being responsive to the needs of individual offenders.Originality/valueThe study provides insight regarding the sequencing of interventions from the perspective of offender supervisors and offender managers who are involved in the planning of treatment programmes across the course of an offender’s sentence.
目的本文旨在探讨罪犯监管人员和罪犯管理人员对英国囚犯干预顺序的看法和意见。更具体地说,这项研究旨在了解实施所需实践的任何障碍。设计/方法/方法对位于西米德兰兹郡四所HM监狱的十名参与者进行了半结构化访谈。问题旨在收集以下方面的信息和意见:干预措施排序领域的现行做法;关于干预措施连贯顺序的潜在重要性的意见;关于干预措施应如何排序的意见;以及哪些问题(如果有的话)影响了连贯的排序。专题分析用于确定、分析和报告访谈中的主题。调查结果与会者讨论了目前干预措施顺序的做法,并就根据罪犯个体调整干预措施顺序提出了建议。强调了准备改变的问题(即,当罪犯感到准备好参与干预时,他们能够参与干预,干预的参与度将增加)。此外,与会者评论说,他们认为可支配的资源不足,这导致了干预措施连贯顺序的障碍(例如治疗方案的等待名单);例如,在针对特定罪行的干预之前,为囚犯提供一般群体干预的经验,优先考虑改变的动机,并对个别罪犯的需求做出反应。独创性/价值该研究从罪犯监管人员和罪犯管理人员的角度提供了有关干预措施顺序的见解,他们在罪犯服刑期间参与了治疗方案的规划。
