A jail diversion program was implemented for offenders with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders (COD) in Lane County, Oregon. This paper discusses whether the program resulted in any sustained community service systems change. Interviewees were asked questions about any systems-level changes that interviewees were aware of in corrections, criminal justice, or treatment where offenders with COD were involved. Results showed evidence of system-level changes in corrections, criminal justice, and treatment that were attributed to various aspects of our "boundary spanning" jail diversion approach with the COD population. The researchers also interpreted the results as evidence of the efficacy of using research to promote change.

School of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Background: David Farrington (1944-2024) wrote extensively about the methodological rigour and utility of the longitudinal-experimental research design to advance knowledge about the development, explanation, prevention and treatment of antisocial behaviour and criminal offending over the life-course. Founded in 1935, the Cambridge-Somerville Youth Study (CSYS) is recognised as the first randomised controlled trial in criminology and the first longitudinal-experimental study in criminology.

Anticipatory Violence and Health Among Black Adults in the United States.

New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center, Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ, USA.
This study analyzes the relationship between anticipatory community and police violence and health outcomes including mental and physical well-being, sleep problems, and functional disability. Using data from a nationally representative survey of 3015 self-identified Black and African American adults in the USA collected in 2023, findings from a series of regression analyses reveal that anticipating community violence is linked to poorer self-rated health and increased sleep problems. Anticipatory police violence is associated with poorer physical health and sleep disturbances.

We examined the role of state and county socioeconomic contextual characteristics in explaining Black-White child differences in permanency within one year of foster care entry. We estimated race-specific hierarchical linear models consisting of individual-level demographic and case characteristics of children, state and county socioeconomic contextual factors, and CFSR-3 performance-improvement plans. Findings showed that socioeconomic contextual characteristics were significantly associated with permanency for Black and White children in different ways.
