Youth with complex problems are frequently served by multiple public systems, including mental health, child welfare, juvenile justice, and education. Effective inter-professional collaboration is necessary to meet the needs of these youth, yet relationships among individual characteristics of service providers and their collaborative activities have not been examined. This study explores inter-professional beliefs, perceived competencies, and practices of licensed social workers serving youth with complex problems, using data from the National Association of Social Workers Workforce Study. Our analyses suggest that perceived importance of collaboration may contribute to and predict collaborative activities (B = 1.05, SE = .13,β = .30, p < .001) and this relationship remained positive and significant after controlling for gender, race/ethnicity, years of practice experience, and sector of employment. Better understanding of these inter-professional beliefs, competencies, and practices may help identify training, workforce development, and supervision needs for forensic social work with this vulnerable population.
有复杂问题的青少年通常由多个公共系统提供服务,包括精神卫生、儿童福利、少年司法和教育。有效的跨专业合作对于满足这些青年的需要是必要的,但服务提供者的个人特征与其合作活动之间的关系尚未得到审查。本研究利用来自全国社会工作者协会劳动力研究的数据,探讨了为有复杂问题的青少年服务的持牌社会工作者的跨专业信念、感知能力和实践。我们的分析表明,协作的感知重要性可能有助于并预测协作活动(B = 1.05, SE = 0.13,β = 0.30, p < .001),并且在控制性别,种族/民族,实践经验年数和就业部门后,这种关系仍然是正的和显著的。更好地理解这些跨专业的信念、能力和实践,可能有助于确定针对这一弱势群体的法医社会工作的培训、劳动力发展和监督需求。

Veterans, particularly those who were involved in combat, experience difficulty readjusting to civilian life after deployment. Difficulties in adjustment postdeployment can contribute to involvement in the criminal justice system for some veterans. Interventions for veterans in the criminal justice system (e.g., veteran courts) are expanding as stakeholders become more aware of the risks that veterans face in corrections. The social work profession is especially suited to play a unique and critical role in veteran interventions through direct practice, advocacy, administration, and research. This article discusses the role of social work practice with veterans in corrections and the implications for the social work profession in veteran-related policy and research. This article includes an overview of the research on veterans in the criminal justice system, a discussion of one rapidly expanding intervention for veterans, and a focused discussion on the multiple roles for social workers in practice, policy, and research.

This study analyzed the subscales of the Interpersonal Dependency Inventory to investigate the levels of dependency among men court ordered to enter a batterers intervention program, determine associations between the subscales and violence, and evaluate the treatment's ability to change dependency on program completers. A secondary analysis with 114 men was used. Results indicated that using negotiation tactics and psychological aggression were significantly associated with emotional reliance on another person. Furthermore, the level of injury inflicted on a partner was associated with 2 subscales. No change in the level of dependency was found. Implications regarding treatment were explored and discussed.

Re-entering prisoners have complex needs. Growing attention has turned to the role of informal social support in successful post-release outcomes. Research indicates informal supports are available to re-entering prisoners, yet this support can be experienced negatively and contribute to poor outcomes. We examined anticipated and received quality, source, and types of support for re-entering prisoners from perspectives of 60 re-entering prisoners and corrections professionals. We found re-entering prisoners anticipated and received what they considered positive support. Alternatively, corrections professionals perceived limited positive support as available and instead reported negative support as more likely. Corrections professionals also questioned whether re-entering prisoners' accurately differentiate positive and negative support. Results indicate key practice implications.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of a partnership between public defender attorneys and the Alternative Sentencing Social Work Field Education Program. An outcome was to increase alternative sentences that match the rehabilitative needs of juveniles in court. Sentencing outcomes of youth receiving the social work program (n = 116) were compared to youth receiving conventional public defender representation (n = 94). A logistical regression analysis found that juveniles represented by attorneys with social workers were nearly three times more likely (odds ratio = 2.72) to receive alternative sentences than those without social workers when controlling for prior record and charge severity.

Although a plethora of studies provide evidence of the extent and severity of violence that street sex workers experience from clients, there is little consensus across the explanations that have been advanced to account for this. To explore this, the present study examines in detail the nature of the attacks suffered by 65 female street sex workers. A Multidimensional Scaling analysis (Smallest Space Analysis [SSA-I]) of 17 violent behaviors derived from a content analysis of interviews with street sex workers drew attention to 3 distinct forms of attack. These could be interpreted in terms of Canter's (1994) Victim Role models that have been the basis for differentiating offending styles in other violent interpersonal offences. The 3 Victim as Object, Victim as Vehicle, and Victim as Person modes identified are consistent with different theoretical explanations for the attacks, providing a framework for integrating the diverse etiological perspectives on violence against street sex workers.
