“…Second, our findings are relevant to Israeli society. Although cultural differences tend to affect attitudes towards offenders [19,28], future studies should explore attitudes towards drug diversion in other countries. Third, we did not ask participants approximately their knowledge of substance use or experience with it, which may be relevant to their perception of MC.…”

Introduction: Illegal drug diversion is a well-documented social problem that has received little research attention, despite the growing use of medical cannabis (MC) worldwide. This study examines public attitudes towards the punishment of MC diversion in Israel.Method: We used a quantitative method. Participants were 399 Israelis who were given five scenarios of MC diversion to persons with and without a licence, with and without payment, and for personal profit.Results: Respondents' attitudes differed with respect to the guilt and deserved punishment of the traffickers as a function of whether the recipient did or did not have a licence and did or did not pay for the MC. Transfers to individuals without a licence and for payment were judged more harshly than those to individuals without payment, whether or not they had a licence. Discussion and Conclusion:The discussion addresses the findings with reference to Kohlberg's moral development theory. The findings of the study attest to the importance of public attitudes in shaping legal policy in Israel.

“…On the contrary, ethnic and racial minority participants are more likely than most to distrust the therapy program, and perceive the therapist as feeling superior to them. They also perceive and experience explicit and implicit racial discrimination in the criminal justice system (Rozmann & Nahari, 2021; Spiropoulos et al, 2014). Rozmann and Nahari (2022) investigated the propensity to prefer in‐group individuals in judging alibi believability.…”

IntroductionDisparities in evaluating readiness to change and recidivism risk across diverse cultural groups can profoundly affect rehabilitation program efficacy. This study examines readiness to change and recidivism risk disparities between Israeli‐Arabs and Israeli‐Jews entering a re‐entry program by the Prisoner Rehabilitation Authority postrelease.MethodThe University of Rhode Island Change Assessment Scale questionnaire gauged readiness to change, whereas the Ohio Youth Assessment System‐Residential tool assessed recidivism risk. The sample included 151 participants: 98 Israeli‐Arabs and 53 Israeli‐Jews. Mean differences in change readiness and recidivism risk were statistically assessed through t tests.ResultsSignificant differences emerged in change readiness levels between Israeli‐Arabs and Jews upon rehabilitation program entry, with Israeli‐Jews exhibiting higher readiness. Additionally, a noteworthy divergence in recidivism risk was noted, indicating elevated average risk for Israeli‐Jews.ConclusionsFindings underscore the vital need for cultural sensitivity during admission. Bias potential in assessing risk for Arab participants emphasizes the necessity of a comprehensive culturally sensitive approach. While focusing on admission, the Risk‐Need‐Responsivity model application could enhance risk evaluation and guide culturally tailored treatments.
