“…The community corrections field has recently begun to evaluate methods designed to increase access to evidence-based practices to address substance use (Bonta et al, 2011; Chandler, Fletcher, & Volkow, 2009; Markarios, McCafferty, Steiner, & Travis, 2012), including access to pharmacotherapy for individuals on probation and parole (Marlowe, 2003; Vaughn, DeLisi, Beaver, Perron, & Abdon, 2012). Stigmatizing beliefs and inadequate knowledge of the effectiveness of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) are barriers to its adoption (Friedmann, et al, 2012; Lee & Rich, 2012; Nunn et al, 2009; Rich et al, 2005).…”

Introduction Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is effective for alcohol and opioid use disorders but it is stigmatized and underutilized in criminal justice settings. Methods This study cluster-randomized 20 community corrections sites to determine whether an experimental implementation strategy of training and an organizational linkage intervention improved staff perceptions of MAT and referral intentions more than training alone. The 3-hour training was designed to address deficits in knowledge, perceptions and referral information, and the organizational linkage intervention brought together community corrections and addiction treatment agencies in an interagency strategic planning and implementation process over 12 months. Results Although training alone was associated with increases in familiarity with pharmacotherapy and knowledge of where to refer clients, the experimental intervention produced significantly greater improvements in functional attitudes (e.g. that MAT is helpful to clients) and referral intentions. Corrections staff demonstrated greater improvements in functional perceptions and intent to refer opioid dependent clients for MAT than did treatment staff. Conclusion Knowledge, perceptions and information training plus interorganizational strategic planning intervention is an effective means to change attitudes and intent to refer clients for medication assisted treatment in community corrections settings, especially among corrections staff.

“…Moreover, examining practitioners' perceptions may lead to insights about their decision-making processes, particularly the implementation of any future collateral consequences policy. If these practitioners do not perceive collateral consequences to affect a large percentage of offenders, they may be less inclined to accept reform efforts (Makarios, McCafferty, Steiner, & Travis, 2012).…”

Scholars and policy makers wish to eliminate many collateral consequences to promote successful offender reentry. Current proposals to reduce collateral consequences of conviction typically involve the participation of criminal justice practitioners. This study surveyed criminal justice practitioners in Ohio to assess their perceptions of the percentage of offenders affected by particular collateral consequences and the magnitude of the impact of these consequences. The findings suggest that, although there is variability in perceptions across different categories of restrictions, justice officials believe relatively few offenders are affected by collateral consequences, and the perceived impact is relatively small. Efforts to eliminate collateral consequences may not have their intended effect on offender reentry.

“…(PPDB) policy based on the zoning system. Organizational control has an impact on the attitude of service personnel in carrying out their work so that the implementation of habits can be effective (Makarios et al, 2012). Organizational control is an act of supervision by the leadership to see, assess, and ensure that the activity carried out is following the stated objectives.…”

The purpose of this study is to determine the implementation of a new student admission policy based on the zoning system. This study was conducted in East Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia because the implementation of a new student admission policy based on the zoning system caused several problems, such as ineffective socialization. This was carried out by the East Luwu Region Provincial Education Office Branch to the community which caused the parents or guardians and students not to understand the technical instructions for registration. Furthermore, this study used a descriptive qualitative method and data obtained are analyzed using the help of Nvivo12 Plus software. The result showed that policies are implemented based on the indicators of inter-organizational relationship behavior. This makes the East Luwu Region XII Provincial Education Office Branch and Senior High Schools to maintain mutual relationship with each other. Furthermore, it helps them to carries out organizational control and they are even professionals in completing their tasks. Meanwhile, based on these indicators, there have been many positive responses from the target group community but still, have a negative one. This is because of less optimal things from the implementation of new student admission policy based on the zoning system.
