“…Given their socioeconomic precarity as well as general criminal activity, individuals in these two groups may be more likely to benefit from initiatives such as Housing First coupled with forensic assertive community treatment or intensive case management (Cuddeback et al, 2013; Leclair et al, 2019; Morrissey et al, 2007; Woodhall-Melnik & Dunn, 2016). Moreover, individuals with Needs Associated with Drugs may benefit additionally from integrated dual disorder treatment (Peters et al, 2017) and drug treatment court (Wilson et al, 2006) to link them to appropriate services and decrease the criminalization of their substance use.…”

This study aimed to characterize lifetime criminal involvement among homeless people with mental illness in Canada ( N = 1,682). A latent profile analysis yielded five classes. Most participants fell within the Fewer Needs (75.5%) group, characterized by less complex psychosocial histories and few criminal charges. Participants with Extensive Criminogenic Needs (5.0%) and Acute and Extensive Criminogenic Needs (5.0%) had more charges for justice administration, violent, and mischief/public order offenses and were more likely to have been charged before their first homelessness episode. Participants with Needs Associated with Homelessness (10.6%) and Needs Associated with Drugs (3.8%) were similar, although the former had the longest history of homelessness and the latter had more drug-related charges and were most likely to have drug use disorder. This typology, which sheds light on the cumulative needs associated with different patterns of lifetime criminal involvement among homeless people with mental illness, could guide prevention initiatives and intervention strategies.

“…EBPPs were taken from treatment recommendations for justice-involved individuals [39][40][41][42][43][44][45] and from community standards for treatment of serious mental illness posttraumatic stress disorder, borderline personality disorder, suicide thoughts or behaviors, anxiety, insomnia, and pain. [46][47][48][49][50][51][52] Substance use EBPPs were taken from the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse's consensus list.…”

Background. The criminal justice system is the largest provider of mental health services in the U.S. Many jurisdictions are interested in reducing the use of the justice system for mental health problems. The national Stepping Up Initiative works with counties to reduce the number of individuals with mental illness in jails and to improve access to mental health services in the community. The Implementation Mechanisms of Stepping Up (I.M. Stepping Up) Study leverages a large natural experiment created by comparing Stepping Up counties to matched comparison counties over time to examine implementation mechanisms and outcomes. Methods. The study will survey 475 Stepping Up counties and 475 matched comparison counties at three waves: baseline, 18 months, and 36 months. Surveys will be sent to up to four respondents per county including administrators of jail, probation, community mental health services, and community substance use treatment services (3,800 total respondents). Implementation target mechanisms include: (1) use of and capacity for performance monitoring; (2) use and functioning of interagency teams; (3) common goals and mission across agencies; and (4) system integration (i.e., building an integrated system of care rather than adding one program or training). We will examine whether Stepping Up counties show a faster rate of improvement in hypothesized target mechanisms between Wave 1 and subsequent assessments (i.e., Waves 2 and 3) than do comparison counties (primary). We will also examine whether Stepping Up counties show a faster increases in implementation outcomes (number of justice-involved clients receiving behavioral health services, number of behavioral health evidence-based practices and policies [EBPPs] available to justice-involved individuals, and resources for behavioral health EBPP for justice-involved individuals). We will evaluate whether engagement of hypothesized mechanisms explains differences in implementation outcomes. Finally, we will characterize implementation processes and critical incidents using survey responses and qualitative interviews. Discussion. There are few rigorous, prospective studies examining implementation mechanisms and their relationship with behavioral health implementation outcomes in justice and associated community behavioral health settings. There is also limited understanding of implementation mechanisms that occur across systems with multiple goals. This study will elucidate target mechanisms in multi-goal, multi-agency systems.

“…Those with COD often have related educational and employment deficits, limited social support systems, little aftercare provision (Blandford & Osher, 2013; McKee, 2017; Osher et al, 2002; Peters, Young, Rojas, & Gorey, 2017) and, not unsurprisingly, are more likely to recidivate (H. V. Miller & Miller, 2017; Peters et al, 2004; Skeem, Nicholson, & Kregg, 2008).…”

Treating Co-Occurring Disorders in Jails: Outcome Findings From a Second Chance Act Offender Reentry Program

Widespread implementation of offender reentry programming has increased justice program evaluations but few have featured research designs sufficiently rigorous to optimally inform policy. Program evaluations typically neglect program fidelity concerns to focus on outcome analysis that seldom feature optimal spuriousness reduction. The current study, the second component of a mixed-method design evidencing fidelity, presents the methods and outcome findings for the Delaware County Transition (DCT) Program, an Ohio jail-based crimesolutions.gov endorsed treatment intervention for dually diagnosed offenders. Review of the reentry and dual-diagnosis literature provides a background for description of the DCT program and methods employed to observe programming effects. Findings indicated DCT participation was associated with overall recidivism reductions and time to recidivism and orient discussion around related rehabilitative modalities.

Evidence-based treatment and supervision practices for co-occurring mental and substance use disorders in the criminal justice system

Abstract: Despite the availability of multiple evidence-based interventions that have been implemented across diverse justice system settings, these services are not sufficiently used to address the scope of treatment and supervision needs among offenders with CODs.
