Book excerpt: Implementation of new policy and procedure based on the "what works" literature has been widespread and ongoing. Unfortunately, the transfer of knowledge and research from scholar to practitioner has not been as strong and successful as many would hope (Goggin & Gendreau, 2006; Taxman & Belenko, 2013). Findings from routine projects and implementation of identified best practices in real-world settings tend to be weaker than when demonstration projects are completed (Lipsey, 1999, 2001). This difference in outcomes suggests that there may be factors relevant to successful implementation that have been unknown, forgotten, or even ignored. One of those factors is the organizational context (i.e., climate and culture) of the agency that is undergoing implementation. Regarding context, there is concern that staff attitudes and perceptions could negatively impact, even derail, implementation efforts and lead to wasted time and resources (Taxman & Belenko, 2012). The purpose of this dissertation was to explore staff perceptions of specific components of organizational context. Two state prison system research projects utilized portions of the National Criminal Justice Treatment Practices Survey (NCJTPS). For this dissertation, staff perceptions of cynicism towards change, leadership, organizational needs, and perspective-taking were analyzed and compared across states. Additionally, individual respondent demographic characteristics and work-related variables were regressed on the factor scales to determine if those independent variables could explain variation in staff perceptions. Results indicated that the two state systems were significantly different in staff responses across a majority of the scales and subscales. The amount of variation explained by the individual respondent characteristics differed by scale although education level and employment position were consistently significant across models. The relevance of staff perceptions of these factors is strong since both prison systems were undergoing substantial redesign and implementation efforts. Identifying staff attitudes and perceptions at the beginning of implementation efforts can assist leadership and implementation teams in tailoring the change efforts to address the beliefs and concerns of staff which will directly impact staff behavior. Ultimately, addressing staff perceptions can increase the likelihood of successful implementation and redesign.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the organization and structure of criminal justice services within the American federal system. Its basic proposition is that greater criminal justice unification is generally desirable if it responds to the differential characteristics of system components and to decentralization needs. State leadership and authority is seen as the focal point for unification efforts, and unification is conceived as a mix of hierarchical standard-setting, regulatory, monitoring, coordinative, and fiscal incentive measures, tailored to the special character and mission of each major criminal justice component and applicable at regional and metropolitan as well as state levels. Commencing with a chapter descriptive of the criminal justice setting (apparatus, finances, workload, service targets, structural patterns) the text moves on to an exploration of key issues and problematic characteristics inherent in either the criminal justice apparatus or the American governmental framework which bear on structural schema. The two introductory chapters are followed by units on each criminal justice component (police, courts, prosecution defense, and corrections) which explore and evaluate current organizational characteristics, reform proposals, and directions of change, each ending with speculations on desired or future courses of development. A penultimate chapter discusses total system integration, with focus on (1) the dominant integrative technique for this period ('comprehensive planning' as molded by grant-in-aid policy under federal crime control legislation) and (2) exploration of possibilities for structural or umbrella department integration at both state and local levels. A final chapter serves as a recap of precept and progress with respect to criminal justice 'unification' (in each individual component and the system-at-large) and a prognosis for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past four decades, the rate of incarceration in the United States has skyrocketed to unprecedented heights, both historically and in comparison to that of other developed nations. At far higher rates than the general population, those in or entering U.S. jails and prisons are prone to many health problems. This is a problem not just for them, but also for the communities from which they come and to which, in nearly all cases, they will return. Health and Incarceration is the summary of a workshop jointly sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences(NAS) Committee on Law and Justice and the Institute of Medicine(IOM) Board on Health and Select Populations in December 2012. Academics, practitioners, state officials, and nongovernmental organization representatives from the fields of healthcare, prisoner advocacy, and corrections reviewed what is known about these health issues and what appear to be the best opportunities to improve healthcare for those who are now or will be incarcerated. The workshop was designed as a roundtable with brief presentations from 16 experts and time for group discussion. Health and Incarceration reviews what is known about the health of incarcerated individuals, the healthcare they receive, and effects of incarceration on public health. This report identifies opportunities to improve healthcare for these populations and provides a platform for visions of how the world of incarceration health can be a better place.
