Lived Challenges To Ethical Social Work Practice In Criminal Justice Settings, Diane S. Young
Social Work & Criminal Justice Publications
Ethical social work practice within criminal justice settings is fraught with challenges. Through individual interviews in a qualitative study exploring social work practice in diverse criminal justice settings in the northwestern United States, a subsample of 9 social workers described the difficulties they experience adhering to social work's professional code of ethics. They identify 2 primary areas of divergence, conflicting responsibilities and opposing interests, and identify the ways they respond to these challenges and the rationale behind their decisions. The discussion section explores avenues for strengthening social workers' abilities to be a vital and ethical presence in criminal justice settings.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization is linked to sexual risk exposure among women. However, less is known about the intersection of IPV perpetration and sexual risk behavior among men.

Participants were recruited and surveyed online, and grouped conceptually based on the types of IPV perpetration behavior(s) used in a current or recent romantic relationship. Groups were then compared on …

An Exploratory Study Of Confidence In Policing In India, John R. Tahiliani, Jeffrey W. Cohen
Social Work & Criminal Justice Publications
The November 2008 terrorist attack in Mumbai has brought a great deal of attention upon policing in India. In light of the proposed overhauls in policing in India, community policing initiatives have become increasingly utilized across the sub-continent. There remains, however, the important question as to how successful these initiatives can be in a country with such ethnic, class and religious diversity. The study undertaken here is an exploratory examination as to which variables are most closely associated with police confidence. The data for the study drew upon the India Human Development Study 2004-2005 of 41,554 households across India. The …

The Immigration-Industrial Complex: Blurring The Lines Of Private Enterprise And Public Interest, Douglas Epps
TAC Talks
America’s immigration system has increasingly become the subject of controversy in recent decades, with political leaders stuck in a veritable “stalemate” in regards to reform. But, what if there are other players in the game who stand to profit from such legislative stagnation? This presentation will explore such possibilities and the influences of private immigration detention conglomerates on the public interest.
There is perhaps no greater blurring of public and private lines than in the privatization of prison and detention services. As a former detention officer in the nation’s fourth largest immigration holding facility, Tacoma’s Northwest Detention Center, I gained …

This support group curriculum was created to reduce the burden faced by caregivers as it seeks to strengthen these relationships. Academic research, as well as key informant interviews were conducted to create a eight week support group curriculum. Family systems theory concludes …
Exploring Gender Equity: A Social-Justice Oriented Program To Encourage Male College Students To Advance Gender Equity, Lucas Brown
MSW Capstones
A number of social justice issues, ranging from sexual assault to economic equality, disproportionately affect women and persons who represent a challenge to heteronormativity. Holding a privileged position among other gender identities in society, and representing slightly less than half of the population, it is important for men to be involved in addressing these issues of gender inequity. A review of literature and interviews with key informants found that building awareness of gender equity issues with a social justice or human rights oriented perspective through education and service learning opportunities, promoting men’s involvement without reinforcing hegemonic masculinity, discussing how the …
