“…Practitioners can experience secondary traumatization from helping and burnout (emotional and mental exhaustion brought on by prolonged stress) (Corcoran 2012). Criminalized people have generally experienced trauma and inequality in higher proportions than the general population (Zelechoski 2016;Karatzias et al 2018). They can also encounter stigma, judgement and tangible barriers whilst seeking to change their lives (Schnittker and Bacak 2013), which can lead to hopelessness, resistance or relapse (Maruna et al 2004;Gålnander 2019).…”

Increasing calls for ‘nothing about us without us’ envision marginalized people as valuable and necessary contributors to policies and practices affecting them. In this paper, we examine what this type of inclusion feels like for criminalized people who share their lived experiences in penal voluntary sector organizations. Focus groups conducted in England and Scotland illustrated how this work was experienced as both safe, inclusionary and rewarding and exclusionary, shame-provoking and precarious. We highlight how these tensions of ‘user involvement’ impact criminalized individuals and compound wider inequalities within this sector. The individual, emotional and structural implications of activating lived experience, therefore, require careful consideration. We consider how the penal voluntary sector might more meaningfully and supportively engage criminalized individuals in service design and delivery. These considerations are significant for broader criminal justice and social service provision seeking to meaningfully involve those with lived experience.

“…Youth who have had early and repeated exposure to trauma may be predisposed to act out in the school setting, which can manifest through deficits in basic self-and emotional regulation, impulsivity, risk taking, hypervigilance, and heightened physiological arousal (Ford, 2014). Traumatized youth may also be at greater risk for educational problems, disciplinary sanctions, stigma, delinquency, and juvenile justice contact (Perkins & Graham-Bermann, 2012;Zelechoski, 2016). Exposure to violence, particularly in one's early years, has also been linked to subsequent lifelong morbidity and early mortality (Shonkoff et al, 2012).…”

Schools represent an important public health setting for the prevention of behavior and mental health problems in youth. Of particular interest is the use of evidence-based approaches to promote positive youth development and prevent engagement in health-risk behaviors, such as youth violence. These models can take various forms, spanning from strategies to foster youth leadership development and supportive school climate to more intensive interventions for youth at risk of aggressive behavior. Although these models can be implemented in any setting, this chapter focuses on school-based promotion and prevention related to school violence and safety.Drawing upon theoretical perspectives from multiple fields in reviewing models of promotion and prevention, the current chapter provides examples of evidence-based approaches to school safety and violence prevention. This chapter is organized around four key concepts driving changes in interventions in schools to support student safety and prevent violence (see Table 4.1).

“…The first interpretation, “adverse conditions,” would likely hinge primarily on historical records and interview evidence of familial abuse/neglect and criminal influences, as well as neighborhood and other environmental circumstances of the youth’s childhood that might have had a traumatizing effect. Developmental psychology has accumulated foundational research on the prevalence of trauma among delinquent adolescents (e.g., Abram et al, 2004; Dierkhising et al, 2013), as well as the relation of delinquency to traumas arising in early childhood and adolescence (for a review, see Zelechoski, 2016). Evidence for the effects of those traumatizing conditions might be acquired with methods to evaluate whether such conditions have had lasting emotional consequences (e.g., clinical measures of trauma-related anxiety disorders; see, e.g., Strand, Sarmiento, & Pasquale, 2005; Wevodau, 2016).…”

Recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions barred mandatory life without parole for juvenile homicide (Miller v. Alabama, 2012) and applied Miller retroactively (Montgomery v. Louisiana, 2016). Miller identified several developmental factors to consider in mitigation, but left many questions unanswered about their application. The authors offer several sentencing contexts to frame the types of developmental and clinical evidence that may be relevant for Miller hearings under various circumstances. Within these contexts, they explore types and sources of relevant developmental evidence and raise questions about quality and limitations. Their analysis identifies areas in which appellate court clarification is needed to determine how developmental evidence will be used in Miller cases, and they alert developmental experts to prospects and cautions for providing relevant evidence, as well as areas in need of research.
