THE PROPOSED, NATIONAL IMPLEMENTATION AND OUTCOME EVALUATION OF EMPOWER WOULD ADDRESS TOPIC AREA 1 BY RIGOROUSLY EVALUATING A PROGRAM TO PREVENT MISTREATMENT OF OLDER ADULTS, TOPIC AREA 2 BY EVALUATING OLDER ADULTS' RESILIENCE TO FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION, AND TOPIC AREA 3 BY INCORPORATING A RESEARCH QUESTION ON THOSE WHO PERPETRATE MISTREATMENT. EMPOWER IS A RESILIENCE-BUILDING, THEORY-INFORMED, AND EVIDENCE-DRIVEN PREVENTION PROGRAM DEVELOPED THROUGH A MULTIDISCIPLINARY PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE AREA AGENCY ON AGING, REGION ONE (AAA) AND URBAN. IT REPRESENTS THE US DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (DOJ)S FIRST MAJOR INVESTMENT IN PRIMARY PREVENTION OF MISTREATMENT FOR COMMUNITY-DWELLING (NONINSTITUTIONALIZED) OLDER ADULTS. WE HAVE LETTERS OF SUPPORT FROM AGING SERVICES PROVIDERS IN 9 DIVERSE COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND PLAN TO SELECT SITES IN COLLABORATION WITH NIJ. OUR OBJECTIVES ARE TO: (1) CONDUCT A FULL-SCALE RCT OUTCOME EVALUATION OF EMPOWER ON A MULTISITE SAMPLE OF AT LEAST 1,000 OLDER ADULTS, ASSESSING EMPOWERS EFFECTS OVER ONE YEAR OF THEIR LIVES THROUGH PRETEST, POSTTEST, AND FOLLOW-UP SURVEYS; (2) EXAMINE THE IMPLEMENTATION FEASIBILITY, FIDELITY, AND SUSTAINABILITY OF EMPOWER BY AGING SERVICES PROVIDERS WHO WERE NOT INVOLVED IN ITS DEVELOPMENT; (3) UNDERSTAND EMPOWERS CULTURAL RELEVANCE FOR LOW-INCOME, OLDER ADULTS LIVING ALONE IN RACIALLY DIVERSE AND HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES THROUGH QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL SUBGROUP ANALYSES; (4) MEASURE THE PROGRAMS COST EFFECTIVENESS; (5) QUALITATIVELY EXAMINE 5-YEAR FOLLOW-UP EFFECTS OF EMPOWER THROUGH INTERVIEWS WITH PARTICIPANTS FROM THE ORIGINAL EMPOWER PILOT STUDY; (6) ANALYZE CHARACTERISTICS OF INDIVIDUALS WHO PERPETRATE OLDER ADULT ABUSE AND FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION; AND (7) BROADLY DISSEMINATE STUDY FINDINGSINCLUDING A REVISED EMPOWER FACILITATOR MANUAL AND CLIENT JOURNALTHROUGH PEER LEARNING AND DATA WALK OPPORTUNITIES, A RESEARCH REPORT AND BRIEF, SCHOLARLY ARTICLES, AND CONFERENCE/WEBINAR PRESENTATIONS.

UNDER TOPIC TWO (EVALUATION OF MENTORING PROGRAMS THAT SERVE YOUTH INVOLVED IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM) OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF JUSTICES (NIJ) SOLICITATION FOR FY23 YOUTH MENTORING RESEARCH AND EVALUATION, O-NIJ-2023-171663, THE URBAN INSTITUTE (URBAN) PROPOSES A PARTICIPATORY MIXED METHOD, POLICY ASSESSMENT, AND IMPLEMENTATION AND OUTCOMES EVALUATION OF FOUR GEOGRAPHICALLY AND SOCIOPOLITICALLY DIVERSE CREDIBLE MESSENGER (CM) MENTORING PROGRAMS TO EVALUATE POLITICAL AND SOCIAL FACTORS, PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION, AND IMMEDIATE AND INTERMEDIATE OUTCOMES FOR YOUTH WHOM CMS MENTOR IN THREE DIFFERENT SETTINGS (SCHOOLS, COMMUNITIES, AND DETENTION). ALTHOUGH RESEARCH SUPPORTS THE BENEFITS OF CM MENTORING ON YOUTH, MOST MENTORING OCCURS IN THE COMMUNITY (SUCH AS COMMUNITY CENTERS AND NEIGHBORHOODS). INCREASINGLY, CM MENTORS MENTOR YOUTH IN OTHER SETTINGS SUCH AS SCHOOLS, DETENTION FACILITIES, AND SHELTERS, INCLUDING YOUTH WHO HAVE NOT YET HAD CONTACT WITH THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM. AS THE CREDIBLE MESSENGER MOVEMENT EXPANDS INTO MORE FIELDS AND POPULATIONS, RESEARCH IS NEEDED TO UNDERSTAND THE NECESSARY SOCIAL AND POLITICAL FACTORS FOR SUCCESSFUL CM MENTORING PROGRAMS IN LOCALITIES, BEST PRACTICES FOR CM MENTORING IN DIFFERENT SETTINGS, AND THE IMPACTS OF CMS ON YOUTH. TO FILL THIS GAP, URBAN PROPOSES TO CONDUCT A CROSS-SITE STUDY OF PROGRAMS THAT OFFER CM MENTORING IN A RANGE OF SETTINGS FOR VARIOUS YOUTH, WITH INTERVIEWS, FOCUS GROUPS, COMPUTERIZED LIFE EVENT CALENDAR, SURVEYS, AND A QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL MATCHED-CASE DESIGN TO COMPARE PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION AND OUTCOMES BETWEEN SIMILAR YOUTH WHO DID AND DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN A CM MENTORING PROGRAM. URBANS PROPOSED MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM AND ITS PARTNERS ARE WELL POISED TO CONDUCT SUCH A STUDY AND TO DISSEMINATE COMPREHENSIVE AND UNDERSTANDABLE PRODUCTS TO DIVERSE AUDIENCES TO APPLY THIS INFORMATION ACROSS THE U.S. THIS STUDY WILL EXPAND THE LIMITED BODY OF RIGOROUS RESEARCH REGARDING THE IMPLEMENTATION AND IMPACT OF CM MENTORS. THE PROPOSED STUDY HAS FOUR OBJECTIVES: 1) IDENTIFY SOCIAL AND POLITICAL FACTORS THAT SUPPORT CM MENTORING; 2) INVESTIGATE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CM MENTORING PROGRAMS IN THREE SETTINGS (SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY, AND DETENTION CENTERS); 3) UNDERSTAND IMMEDIATE AND INTERMEDIATE-TERM SYSTEM OUTCOMES (E.G., JUVENILE JUSTICE, CHILD WELFARE, EDUCATION) AND POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT OUTCOMES (E.G., COMPETENCE, CONFIDENCE, CONNECTION, CARING AND CHARACTER) OF CM MENTORING ACROSS THESE SETTINGS AND DIFFERENT YOUTH CHARACTERISTICS AND NEEDS; AND 4) PROVIDE ONGOING INFORMATIONAL PRODUCTS THROUGH INTENSIVE DISSEMINATION ON PROJECT METHODS AND FINDINGS TARGETED TO POLICYMAKERS, SYSTEM LEADERS, PRACTITIONERS, RESEARCHERS, AND COMMUNITIES.

THE URBAN INSTITUTE PROPOSES A FOUR-YEAR, MIXED-METHODS, MULTI SITE STUDY INCORPORATING PARTICIPATORY ACTION RESEARCH TO ASSESS THE IMPLEMENTATION AND IMPACT OF RESTORATIVE PRACTICES IN PROMOTING SCHOOL SAFETY AND WELL BEING. RESTORATIVE PRACTICES REPRESENT A NOVEL AND UNDERSTUDIED APPROACH TO SCHOOL SAFETY, ONE THAT DIFFERS NOTABLY FROM THE MORE COMMON PUNITIVE POLICIES FOUND WITHIN MANY SCHOOL DISTRICTS. UNDERSTANDING HOW THIS APPROACH IS ADOPTED, ESPECIALLY ALONGSIDE MORE TRADITIONAL SECURITY APPROACHES AND STAFF, AND WHAT IMPACT IT HAS, PROVIDES VALUABLE INFORMATION TO SCHOOLS HOPING TO CHART A PATH AWAY FROM THE PUNITIVE PAST. TO STUDY THIS, WE WILL FOCUS ON IMPLEMENTATION OF RESTORATIVE PRACTICES IN TWO SITES: COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOLS IN OHIO AND MONTCLAIR PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN NEW JERSEY. THESE SITES, REPRESENTING A LARGE URBAN DISTRICT IN THE MIDWEST AND A SMALL SUBURBAN DISTRICT IN THE NORTHEAST WITH VARIED APPROACHES TO SCHOOL SAFETY, OFFER TWO DISTINCT SETTINGS IN WHICH TO STUDY THE IMPLEMENTATION AND IMPACT OF RESTORATIVE PRACTICES. THE STUDY WILL INCLUDE ANALYSIS OF RESTORATIVE POLICIES AND PRACTICES ACROSS AND WITHIN BOTH SITES, DESCRIPTIVE AND QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF ADMINISTRATIVE AND SURVEY DATA, INTERVIEWS WITH SCHOOL PERSONNEL, FOCUS GROUPS WITH PARENTS AND STUDENTS, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF RESOURCES TO INFORM SCHOOL SAFETY POLICY AND PRACTICE. THIS WORK WILL BE GUIDED BY A SCHOOL RESEARCH TEAM (SRT) IN EACH DISTRICT THAT CONSISTS OF STAFF AND STUDENTS TO ENSURE THE STUDY IS INFORMED BY THOSE MOST INVOLVED IN DAY-TO-DAY SCHOOL SAFETY FUNCTIONS. BY EVALUATING DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO INCORPORATING RESTORATIVE PRACTICES INTO MULTICOMPONENT SCHOOL SAFETY PLANS, THIS STUDY AIMS TO UNDERSTAND PERSPECTIVES ON THE INTEGRATION OF RESTORATIVE PRACTICES INTO EXISTING SCHOOL SAFETY APPROACHES; EXPLORE HOW RESTORATIVE PRACTICES CAN ENHANCE SCHOOL CLIMATE AND SUPPORT THE SAFETY OF STUDENTS AND STAFF; AND PROVIDE ACTIONABLE INFORMATION FOR DISTRICTS TO IMPLEMENT OR EXPAND RESTORATIVE PRACTICES. THIS WORK HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PROVIDE VALUABLE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW RESTORATIVE PRACTICES ADDRESS SAFETY, HOW SCHOOLS CAN SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE THEM INTO THEIR MULTICOMPONENT SCHOOL SAFETY APPROACHES, HOW DISTRICT-SPECIFIC FACILITATORS AND BARRIERS AFFECT IMPLEMENTATION, AND THE IMPLICATIONS FOR RACIAL EQUITY.

RISK ASSESSMENT CLEARINGHOUSE

COMBATING THE USE OF CONTRABAND WIRELESS DEVICES IN CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES: A MULTISITE TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION OF INTERDICTION TECHNOLOGIES

AGING, HEALTH, AND CARE: THE GEOGRAPHY OF RESIDENTIAL PROXIMITY BETWEEN PARENTS AND ADULT CHILDREN - ABSTRACT/PROJECT SUMMARY POPULATION AGING IN THE UNITED STATES IS INCREASING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH LONG-TERM HEALTH PROBLEMS AND OTHER CARE NEEDS, LEADING TO A CRISIS IN LONG-TERM CARE (BIPARTISAN POLICY CENTER 2014). FAMILY CARE IS A CENTRAL COMPONENT OF THE LONG-TERM SERVICES AND SUPPORTS SYSTEM, AND ADULT CHILDREN ARE THE MOST COMMON PROVIDERS OF THAT CARE FOR FRAIL OLDER PARENTS (SPILLMAN ET AL. 2014). GEOGRAPHIC PROXIMITY BETWEEN PARENTS AND ADULT CHILDREN IS AN IMPORTANT DETERMINANT OF INFORMAL CARE PROVISION (CHOI ET AL. 2015). THIS PROJECT USES DATA FROM THE HEALTH AND RETIREMENT STUDY ON THE GEOGRAPHIC PROXIMITY BETWEEN A RESPONDENT AGE 65 AND OLDER AND EACH OF THEIR ADULT CHILDREN, COMBINED WITH INFORMATION ABOUT WHETHER EACH CHILD PROVIDES ANY CARE FOR A PARENT WHO HAS CARE NEEDS DUE TO FUNCTION LIMITATIONS OR COGNITIVE DECLINE. WE OBTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT AGING SERVICES ORGANIZATIONS FROM THE URBAN INSTITUTE’S NATIONAL CENTER FOR CHARITABLE STATISTICS DATA AND THE HRS CONTEXTUAL DATA. OUR APPROACH COMBINES THEORETICAL INSIGHTS FROM ALTRUISM MODELS COMMONLY USED IN THE LITERATURE ON PARENT-CHILD TRANSFERS AND SUPPORT WITH INSIGHTS FROM THE MIGRATION LITERATURE USED TO UNDERSTAND LOCATION DECISIONS. WE ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING SPECIFIC AIMS: AIM 1: ESTIMATE SEPARATE REDUCED FORM MODELS OF THE GEOGRAPHIC PROXIMITY OF ADULT CHILDREN TO THEIR OLDER PARENTS AS WELL AS CAREGIVING CONDITIONAL ON PARENTAL CARE NEEDS (I.E., HAVING A FUNCTIONAL LIMITATION AND/OR A COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT) AS A FUNCTION OF PARENT AND CHILD ECONOMIC AND SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS, CHARACTERISTICS OF PARENT-CHILD DYADS, AND CHARACTERISTICS OF PLACE, SUCH AS DEMOGRAPHIC COMPOSITION, LABOR MARKET OPPORTUNITIES, HOUSING AFFORDABILITY, AND AVAILABILITY OF AGING SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS AND CARE SERVICES. AIM 2: MODEL CHANGES IN GEOGRAPHIC PROXIMITY BETWEEN ADULT CHILDREN AND OLDER PARENTS AS A FUNCTION OF CHANGES IN PARENT’S HEALTH AND FUNCTIONAL STATUS AND THE SAME SET OF VARIABLES DESCRIBED ABOVE. AIM 3: JOINTLY MODEL CAREGIVING AND LOCATION DECISIONS (CONDITIONAL ON THE NEED FOR CARE) TO ACCOUNT FOR THE INTERDEPENDENCE OF THE TWO PROCESSES. THIS ANALYSIS WOULD HELP US UNDERSTAND HOW THE DETERMINANTS OF CARE MIGHT DIFFER WHEN RESIDENTIAL PROXIMITY IS MODELED JOINTLY WITH CARE DECISIONS. THIS APPROACH ALLOWS US TO ASSESS THE ROLE OF CHARACTERISTICS OF PLACE, SUCH AS THE SUPPLY OF FORMAL AGING SUPPORT AND CARE SERVICES, AS WELL AS FAMILY AND INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERISTICS IN SHAPING DECISIONS ABOUT A CHILD’S CARE PROVISION AND LOCATION. WE HAVE A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON UNDERSTANDING THESE JOINT PROCESSES FOR PARENTS WHOSE CARE NEEDS COME FROM ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE OR RELATED DEMENTIA. WE ALSO FOCUS ON DIFFERENCES BY GENDER, RACE, AND SES.

NEIGHBORHOOD RENTAL DATABASE: REAL-TIME DATA FOR RESEARCH -THERE IS NO SOURCE OF ACCURATE, UP-TO-DATE, REPRESENTATIVE DATA ON LOCAL RENT LEVELS IN THE US. THE NEIGHBORHOOD RENTAL DATABASE FILLS THIS GAP. THE DATABASE USES DATA FROM MAJOR ONLINE RENTAL PLATFORMS. IT HELPS DECISION-MAKERS AND RESEARCHERS IN THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTORS UNDERSTAND HOUSING TRENDS, DESIGN HOUSING POLICIES, AND RESPOND TO ECONOMIC CHANGES. SCIENTISTS COLLECT REAL-TIME RENTAL DATA FROM DIVERSE ONLINE SOURCES. THE DATABASE PROVIDES USERS WITH THE MEAN, MEDIAN, AND STANDARD DEVIATION OF LISTED RENTS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD. IT REPORTS THE 40TH PERCENTILE RENT THAT IS USED IN SETTING RENT LIMITS FOR FEDERALLY FUNDED HOUSING ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. SCIENTISTS DEVELOPED A RENT INDEX THAT CAN BE COMPARED ACROSS TIME AND SPACE. THE INDEX DESCRIBES THE RENT PAID BY A TENANT IN A TYPICAL RENTAL UNIT. BY AGGREGATING AND STANDARDIZING THIS INFORMATION, THE NEIGHBORHOOD RENTAL DATABASE ENABLES RESEARCHERS TO MODEL HOUSING DYNAMICS, ESTIMATE THE IMPACTS OF MACRO- AND MICROECONOMIC CHANGES, AND EVALUATE HOUSING POLICIES.

GENERAL RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY ACTIVITY

THE SOCIAL SAFETY NET, POVERTY, AND MATERIAL HARDSHIP

PROPOSAL ABSTRACT PROBLEM STATEMENT: THE SAFETY OF INCARCERATED PEOPLE AND CORRECTIONS STAFF IS THE TOP PRIORITY FOR THE ADMINISTRATORS OF CORRECTIONAL AGENCIES. CONTRABAND WIRELESS DEVICES POSE A SIGNIFICANT THREAT TO PUBLIC SAFETY, THE WELLBEING OF INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS AND CORRECTIONAL STAFF, AND THE OVERALL SECURITY OF CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES. TO COMBAT THESE, AGENCIES ARE IMPLEMENTING DETECTION AND DISRUPTION TECHNOLOGIES TO DETECT CELL SIGNALS (E.G., CELL SCANNERS) AND BLOCK THEM (E.G., MANAGED ACCESS SYSTEMS). WHILE DETECTION TECHNOLOGIES HELP SECURITY OFFICERS IDENTIFY CONTRABAND CELL PHONES IN CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES, INTERCEPTION TECHNOLOGIES AID AGENCIES TO DISABLE CALL, TEXT AND INTERNET FUNCTIONS IN CONTRABAND CELLPHONES, RENDERING THEM UNUSABLE FOR COMMUNICATION PURPOSES. TO FACILITATE THE USE OF THESE TECHNOLOGIES AND DISABLING CELL PHONES, THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RECENTLY INTRODUCED A REGULATORY INTERVENTION WHICH ALLOWS CERTIFIED MEMBERS (THROUGH THE CONTRABAND INTERDICTION SYSTEMS (CIS) CERTIFICATION) OF CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS TO DIRECTLY WORK WITH WIRELESS CARRIERS TO PERMANENTLY DISABLE CONTRABAND CELLPHONES. GOALS: THE PROPOSED MIXED-METHODS, ACTION-RESEARCH STUDY ON EXAMINING DETECTION AND INTERCEPTION TECHNOLOGIES IN CONJUNCTION WITH FCCS POLICY INTERVENTION FOR CONTRABAND CELLPHONE INTERDICTION HAS THREE GOALS: A) ENHANCE THE CAPABILITIES OF SELECT CORRECTIONAL AGENCIES BY FACILITATING THE ADOPTION OF CIS AUTHORIZATION AND EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES FOR INTERCEPTING CONTRABAND CELLPHONES THROUGH ACTION-ORIENTED RESEARCH; B) EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DETECTION AND DISRUPTION TECHNOLOGIES, ALONGSIDE THE FCC'S POLICY INTERVENTION, IN COMBATING CONTRABAND CELLPHONES; AND C) INCREASE FIELD AWARENESS ABOUT THE CHALLENGES OF CONTRABAND CELLPHONES AND INTERDICTION TECHNOLOGIES AVAILABLE TO ADDRESS CHALLENGES RELATED TO CONTRABAND CELLPHONES. PARTNERSHIPS: URBAN WILL PARTNER WITH 11 STATE DEPARTMENTS OF CORRECTIONS AS SITE PARTNERS, CNA CORPORATION AS THE RESEARCH PARTNER, AND THE CORRECTIONAL LEADERS ASSOCIATION (CLA) AS AN IMPLEMENTATION PARTNER. STRATEGY: THROUGH A 48-MONTH MIXED-METHODS STUDY, THE TEAM WILL EMPLOY AN ACTION RESEARCH EVALUATION APPROACH TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF THREE DISTINCT YET INTERCONNECTED INTERVENTIONS ON INSTITUTIONAL SECURITY, AS WELL AS THE SAFETY OF INCARCERATED PEOPLE. THE THREE INTERVENTIONS ARE FUNCTIONALLY UNIQUE. THE FIRST FOCUSES ON DETECTING SIGNAL TRANSMISSION (I.E., CELL SCANNERS AND DETECTION TECHNOLOGIES), THE SECOND ON INTERFERING WITH SIGNAL TRANSMISSION (I.E., MANAGED ACCESS SYSTEMS, MAS), AND THE THIRD ON DISABLING CELLPHONES THROUGH A WIRELESS SERVICE CARRIER. THE PROJECT WILL BEGIN WITH DIRECT ENGAGEMENT WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS IN THE 11 PARTNERING AGENCIES TO UNDERSTAND THEIR INTERVENTION IMPLEMENTATION GOALS AND PROGRESS, AND PROVISION OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AROUND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DETECTION AND DISRUPTION TECHNOLOGIES AND CIS CERTIFICATIONS. FOLLOWING THIS, THE RESEARCH TEAM WILL IDENTIFY 2-3 SITES THAT ARE ALREADY CERTIFIED AND CONDUCT AN IMPLEMENTATION ASSESSMENT (INCLUDING FIDELITY ASSESSMENTS) AND IMPACT EVALUATIONS ON INSTITUTIONAL SAFETY MEASURES, LIKE CELL PHONE RECOVERIES, IN-FACILITY INJURIES, DRUG AND WEAPON CONTRABAND RECOVERIES, ETC. THERE WILL BE TWO TRACKS OF THE INTERVENTIONS SUBJECT TO OUR IMPACT EVALUATION: 1) THE COMBINED USE OF CIS AUTHORIZATION WITH DETECTION TECHNOLOGY AND 2) THE COMBINED USE OF CIS AUTHORIZATION WITH INTERFERENCE TECHNOLOGY. DELIVERABLES AND DATA ARCHIVING: RESEARCH FINDINGS WILL BE DISSEMINATED TO ACADEMIC, PRACTITIONER, AND WIDER PUBLIC AUDIENCES VIA PUBLICATIONS IN JOURNAL ARTICLES, CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS, POLICY BRIEFS OR GUIDEBOOKS, AND A FINAL TECHNICAL REPORT. ALL ANALYTIC DATA FILES AND RELEVANT DOCUMENTATION WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE NATIONAL ARCHIVE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE DATA (NACJD). CA/NCF

PURPOSE: THE LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARD REDUCTION (LHR) GRANT PROGRAM IS TO MAXIMIZE THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF SIX PROTECTED FROM LEAD POISONING BY ASSISTING STATES, CITIES, COUNTIES/PARISHES, NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES OR OTHER UNITS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN UNDERTAKING COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAMS TO IDENTIFY AND CONTROL LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS IN ELIGIBLE PRIVATELY-OWNED RENTAL OR OWNER-OCCUPIED HOUSING POPULATIONS. IN ADDITION, THERE IS HEALTHY HOMES SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING AVAILABLE THAT IS INTENDED TO ENHANCE THE LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARD CONTROL ACTIVITIES BY COMPREHENSIVELY IDENTIFYING AND ADDRESSING OTHER HOUSING HAZARDS THAT AFFECT OCCUPANT HEALTH. INFORMATION ABOUT WHERE THE SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING CAN BE USED CAN BE FOUND AT. HTTPS://WWW.HUD.GOV/PROGRAM_OFFICES/HEALTHY_HOMES/PROJECT_DESCRIPTIONS; ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: PROGRAM FUNDS WILL BE AWARDED TO APPLICANTS TO ACCOMPLISH THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES: A. TARGETED UNITS: TARGET LEAD HAZARD CONTROL EFFORTS IN HOUSING UNITS WHERE CHILDREN LESS THAN 6 YEARS OF AGE ARE AT GREATEST RISK OF LEAD POISONING (PRE-1960, AND, ESPECIALLY, PRE-1940 CONSTRUCTION), WHICH HAS HISTORICALLY INCLUDED CHILDREN IN LOW-INCOME AND MINORITY NEIGHBORHOODS, TO REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD OF ELEVATED BLOOD LEAD LEVELS IN THESE CHILDREN. B. COST EFFECTIVENESS: UTILIZE COST-EFFECTIVE LEAD HAZARD CONTROL METHODS AND APPROACHES THAT ENSURE THE LONG-TERM SAFETY OF THE BUILDING OCCUPANTS. C. CAPACITY: BUILD LOCAL CAPACITY OF TRAINED AND CERTIFIED INDIVIDUALS AND FIRMS TO ADDRESS LEAD HAZARDS SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY DURING LEAD HAZARD CONTROL, RENOVATION, REMODELING, AND MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES. ANOTHER CORE ELEMENT FOR CAPACITY INCLUDES THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE, COMMUNITY-BASED APPROACHES TO INTEGRATING THIS GRANT PROGRAM WITHIN OTHER LOCAL INITIATIVES THROUGH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS THAT ADDRESS HOUSING RELATED HEALTH AND SAFETY HAZARDS AND/OR SERVE LOW-INCOME FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF SIX (6). D. AFFIRMATIVE MARKETING: ESTABLISH AND IMPLEMENT A DETAILED PROCESS OF MONITORING AND ENSURING THAT UNITS MADE LEAD-SAFE ARE AFFIRMATIVELY MARKETED, AND PRIORITY GIVEN, TO FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN UNDER AGE 6 YEARS FOR NOT LESS THAN THREE YEARS. E. DATA COLLECTION: GATHER PRE- AND POST-TREATMENT DATA THAT SUPPORTS AND VALIDATES LEAD HAZARD CONTROL INVESTMENTS. PROGRAM DATA COLLECTED SHOULD SUPPORT THE EVALUATION OF GRANT PROGRAM ACTIVITIES AND OUTCOMES. F. TARGETED OUTREACH AND EDUCATION: CONDUCTING TARGETED OUTREACH, AFFIRMATIVE MARKETING, EDUCATION OR OUTREACH PROGRAMS ON LEAD HAZARD CONTROL AND LEAD POISONING PREVENTION DESIGNED TO INCREASE THE ABILITY OF THE APPLICANT TO DELIVER THE SPECIFIED LEAD HAZARD CONTROL SERVICES THROUGH THIS PROGRAM; INCLUDING EDUCATING OWNERS OF ELIGIBLE RENTAL PROPERTIES, TENANTS, AND OTHERS ON THE BENEFITS AND EXPECTATIONS OF PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROGRAM PROVIDED BY "TITLE X" OF THE RESIDENTIAL LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARD REDUCTION ACT OF 1992.; EXPECTED OUTCOMES: TO IDENTIFY AND CLEAN UP DANGEROUS LEAD IN LOW-INCOME FAMILIES’ HOMES WHERE LOW-INCOME FAMILIES WERE CHILDREN 6 AND UNDER RESIDE. THESE INVESTMENTS WILL PROTECT FAMILIES AND CHILDREN BY TARGETING SIGNIFICANT LEAD AND HEALTH HAZARDS IN OVER 3,700 LOW-INCOME HOMES FOR WHICH OTHER RESOURCES ARE NOT AVAILABLE.; INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: TO ASSIST STATES, CITIES, COUNTIES/PARISHES, NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES OR OTHER UNITS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN UNDERTAKING COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAMS TO IDENTIFY AND CONTROL LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS IN ELIGIBLE PRIVATELY-OWNED RENTAL OR OWNER-OCCUPIED HOUSING POPULATIONS WERE CHILDREN UNDER 6 RESIDE.; SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: THE SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES ARE UNKNOWN AT THE TIME OF AWARD.

THE URBAN INSTITUTE PROPOSES TO MANAGE THE CENSUS OF PROSECUTOR OFFICES (CPO) WITH THE GOAL OF COLLECTING KEY INFORMATION ABOUT PROSECUTOR OFFICES ACROSS THE COUNTRY AROUND THEIR OPERATIONS AND CASELOADS. SINCE SUCCESSFULLY CONDUCTING THE LAST FULL CENSUS OF PROSECUTOR OFFICES FOR BJS IN 2007 AND ACHIEVING A ROBUST RESPONSE RATE, WE HAVE CONDUCTED SEVERAL BJS CENSUSES AND LARGE SURVEYS OF PROSECUTORS AND HAVE ESTABLISHED EXPERTISE IN BOTH CENSUS METHODOLOGY AND TOPICAL KNOWLEDGE OF PROSECUTOR OPERATIONS. WE WILL TAKE LESSONS WE LEARNED FROM CENSUSES WE MANAGED AND OUR REPEATED ENGAGEMENT OF PROSECUTORS IN LARGE SURVEYS TO DEVELOP A QUESTIONNAIRE AND CENSUS ADMINISTRATION PLAN THAT WILL GARNER RESPONSES FROM OFFICES OF A VARIETY OF SIZES. WE ALSO HAVE DEVELOPED CRUCIAL PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE ASSOCIATION OF PROSECUTING ATTORNEYS (APA), INSTITUTE FOR INNOVATION IN PROSECUTION (IIP), AND FAIR AND JUST PROSECUTION (FJP) TO ASSIST WITH RECRUITING RESPONDENTS. THESE PARTNERSHIPS HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY CHOSEN BASED ON THEIR CONNECTIONS WITH HARDER TO REACH SITES, INCLUDING RURAL AND SMALL PROSECUTION OFFICES. URBAN INSTITUTE RESEARCHERS WILL NOT ONLY BE ACCOMPANIED BY THEIR PARTNERS AT APA, IIP, AND FJP, BUT THEY WILL ALSO DEVELOP AN EXPERT PANEL COMPRISED OF RESEARCHERS, PROFESSIONAL PROSECUTOR ASSOCIATION LEADERS, AND PROSECUTORS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, PARTICULARLY IN SMALLER AND RURAL OFFICES.

THE PROPOSED RETROSPECTIVE, QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL LONGITUDINAL STUDY IS DESIGNED TO IDENTIFY THE CHANGE MECHANISMS THROUGH WHICH “CREDIBLE MESSENGER” (CM) MENTORING PROGRAMS CAN PROMOTE POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT AND FACILITATE YOUTH HEALING IN STRUCTURALLY MARGINALIZED, JUSTICE-IMPACTED, AND PREDOMINANTLY BLACK AND LATINX COMMUNITIES. THE OVERARCHING GOAL OF THIS STUDY IS TO EXPAND THE LIMITED RESEARCH ON THE IMPACT OF CM MENTORING FOR THE MOST MARGINALIZED AND HIGH-RISK YOUTH. USING A PARTICIPATORY APPROACH WITH A POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT LENS, THE APPLICANT RESEARCHERS WILL WORK WITH COMMUNITY RESEARCH TEAMS (CRTS) IN THREE U.S. METROPOLITAN AREAS TO COLLABORATIVELY DEVELOP QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENTS, INCLUDING A COMPUTERIZED LIFE EVENT CALENDAR THAT RETROSPECTIVELY CAPTURES 3 YEARS OF LONGITUDINAL OUTCOME DATA FOR YOUTH (ABOUT HALF OF WHOM RECEIVED CM MENTORING AND HALF WHO DID NOT), AS WELL AS SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEW AND FOCUS GROUP INSTRUMENTS. THE STUDY WILL USE A MATCHED CASE-CONTROL DESIGN WHOSE PURPOSE IS TO ADDRESS NIJ RESEARCH PRIORITY 2 BY CLARIFYING WAYS IN WHICH CM MENTORING PROMOTES POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH PRIORITY 3 BY EXAMINING LONGER TERM EFFECTS OF CM MENTORING. ADDITIONALLY, THE TEAM WILL TRAIN CRTS IN RESEARCH EVALUATION TO COLLABORATIVELY STRENGTHEN EACH PROGRAMS’ CAPACITY FOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATION. THE PROPOSED STUDY HAS FOUR OBJECTIVES: 1) INTEGRATE A COMMUNITY PARTICIPATORY APPROACH THAT ENCOURAGES MEANINGFUL RESEARCH DIALOGUE AND STRENGTHENS THE COMMUNITY RESEARCH CAPACITY OF CM PROGRAMS MOVING FORWARD; 2) CONDUCT A DEEP DIVE INTO THE MECHANISMS BY WHICH CM MENTORING CAN PROMOTE POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVE YOUNG PEOPLE’S BEHAVIORAL OUTCOMES, WHILE ACCOUNTING FOR STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS OF OPPRESSION AFFECTING THEIR DAILY LIVES; 3) ASSESS THE QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL IMPACT OF CM MENTORING PROGRAMS IN THREE RACIALLY AND ETHNICALLY DIVERSE U.S. COMMUNITIES BY COMPARING YOUTH OUTCOMES OVER A PERIOD OF 36 MONTHS, MEASURED RETROSPECTIVELY; AND 4) REPORT AND DISSEMINATE FINDINGS BROADLY TO REACH CM MENTORING PROGRAMS, YOUTH COMMUNITY SERVICE PROVIDERS, JUVENILE JUSTICE ADVOCATES, AND RESEARCH AND PRACTICE AUDIENCES WORKING TO REDUCE THE JUSTICE IMPACT ON HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED YOUTH.

FY2010 SURVEY OF GENERAL PURPOSE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES

PROBLEM STATEMENT: HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE, THOUGH IDENTIFYING SURVIVORS REMAINS CHALLENGING FOR FRONTLINE PROFESSIONALS. TRAFFICKING SURVIVORS OFTEN INTERACT WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT—AS VICTIMS OR SUSPECTS OF CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR RELATED TO THEIR TRAFFICKING VICTIMIZATION. MULTIPLE HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED GROUPS ARE AT INCREASED RISK FOR BOTH TRAFFICKING VICTIMIZATION AND LAW ENFORCEMENT INTERACTION. EQUIPPING FRONTLINE OFFICERS WITH THE TOOLS NEEDED TO IDENTIFY SURVIVORS CAN IMPROVE THE RESPONSE BY INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD THEY WILL BE ROUTED TO APPROPRIATE SERVICES. HISTORICALLY, THE USE OF SCREENING TOOLS TO IDENTIFY TRAFFICKING HAS BEEN SCARCE AND MOST ARE NOT VALIDATED. SCREENING TOOL VALIDATION CAN ALSO SUPPORT PREVALENCE ESTIMATES, THEREBY INCREASING UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TRAFFICKING SURVIVORS INTERACT WITH THE JUSTICE SYSTEM.   GOALS: THE URBAN INSTITUTE’S JUSTICE POLICY CENTER PROPOSES A MULTISITE EVALUATION OF THE RAPID HUMAN TRAFFICKING SCREENING TOOL (HTST) FOR USE BY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND VICTIM ADVOCATES TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL LABOR AND SEX TRAFFICKING VICTIMS FOR SUBSEQUENT ASSESSMENT AND SERVICES. THE STUDY HAS TWO OVERARCHING GOALS: (1) EVALUATE THE PRACTICAL EFFECTIVENESS OF THE HTST THAT URBAN PREVIOUSLY DEVELOPED AND VALIDATED, WHEN IMPLEMENTED WITH ADULTS IN AT LEAST THREE, DIVERSE LAW ENFORCEMENT SETTINGS; AND (2) ESTIMATE THE PREVALENCE OF LABOR AND SEX TRAFFICKING FOR EACH SITE AMONG THE GROUPS TO WHOM THE HTST IS ADMINISTERED TO ENHANCE UNDERSTANDING OF THE EXTENT OF TRAFFICKING VICTIMIZATION AMONG POPULATIONS INTERACTING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT.   STRATEGY: THE 36-MONTH, MIXED-METHODS STUDY WILL BE CONDUCTED IN COLLABORATION WITH NIJ, LAW ENFORCEMENT SITE PARTNERS, AND THE PROJECT’S ADVISORY BOARD. UPON FINALIZING HTST REVISIONS AND SITES, URBAN WILL COMPUTERIZE THE HTST AND JOINTLY IDENTIFY VICTIM-CENTERED AND TRAUMA-INFORMED HTST IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURES. URBAN WILL ASSESS HTST’S IMPLEMENTATION FIDELITY, PROGRESS, AND FEASIBILITY. MULTIPLE RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY TESTS, USING A FIVE-PRONGED VALIDATION DATA SOURCING APPROACH, WILL BE USED TO EVALUATE HTST’S EFFECTIVENESS. VALIDATION DATA WILL SUPPORT SITE-SPECIFIC PREVALENCE ESTIMATES. THE RESEARCH WILL CULMINATE IN SEVERAL DELIVERABLES.   PARTNERSHIPS: FIVE ENHANCED COLLABORATIVE MODEL HUMAN TRAFFICKING TASK FORCES—PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA; ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA; SUFFOLK COUNTY, NEW YORK; THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; AND THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO—HAVE EXPRESSED INTEREST IN STUDY PARTICIPATION. WE HAVE ALSO ASSEMBLED AN ADVISORY BOARD OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING EXPERTS FROM RESEARCH, LEGAL, AND SERVICE PROVIDER BACKGROUNDS.   DELIVERABLES: WE WILL PREPARE A FINAL RESEARCH REPORT, ARCHIVABLE DATA, A PRACTITIONER BRIEF ON HTST IMPLEMENTATION, AND A SCHOLARLY ARTICLE ON THE VALIDATION, AS WELL AS CONDUCT A WEBINAR. ADVISORY BOARD MEMBERS AND IACP WILL SUPPORT BROAD DISSEMINATION.

YOUTH IN CARCERAL SETTINGS ARE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE AND IN NEED OF TREATMENT. ACCORDINGLY, ACCURATELY SCREENING, DIAGNOSING, AND TREATMENT YOUTH WITH CO-OCCURRING MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS (COD) IS IMPORTANT TO SUPPORTING THEIR OVERALL WELLBEING AND PREVENTING FURTHER JUSTICE SYSTEM INVOLVEMENT. SPECIFICALLY, THE PROPOSED MULTI-SITE PREVALENCE STUDY AND PROCESS EVALUATION HAS THREE MAIN GOALS: 1) DETERMINE THE PREVALENCE OF YOUTH WITH COD IN PARTICULAR JUVENILE JUSTICE RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES, AS DETERMINED BY A CLINICAL ASSESSMENT; 2) EXAMINE VARIATION IN PREVALENCE RATES BY RACE AND ETHNICITY AND OTHER DEMOGRAPHICS, TIME PERIOD, AND AGENCY FACILITY TYPE THROUGH STATISTICAL ANALYSES; AND 3) ASSESS THE APPROACHES, ATTITUDES, AND PERCEPTIONS OF JUVENILE JUSTICE AGENCY STAFF AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS IN IDENTIFYING AND TREATING YOUTH WITH MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS VIA A PROCESS EVALUATION. URBAN INSTITUTE IS PROPOSING A 48-MONTH STUDY: TO ESTIMATE THE PREVALENCE OF YOUTH WITH COD IN SELECT JUVENILE FACILITIES THAT SCREEN AND ASSESS ALL YOUTH, AND TO EVALUATE AGENCY PROCESSES FOR IDENTIFYING AND TREATING YOUTH WITH COD. URBAN WILL COLLECT ADMINISTRATIVE DATA ON THE ENTIRE RESIDENTIAL POPULATION IN EACH AGENCY, STANDARDIZE THE DATA ACROSS SITES, ESTIMATE THE PREVALENCE OF COD AND TREATMENT RECEIPT, EXAMINE DISPARITIES, REVIEW AGENCY POLICIES, CONDUCT SITE VISITS, INTERVIEW JUVENILE JUSTICE AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PRACTITIONERS, AND CONSIDER YOUTH FOCUS GROUPS. URBAN WILL PARTNER WITH FOUR OF THE FIVE INTERESTED JUVENILE JUSTICE AGENCIES IN CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE; HARRIS COUNTY, TX; OREGON, AND UTAH. THE APPLICANT HAS ALSO ASSEMBLED SENIOR ADVISORS WITH EXPERTISE IN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DIAGNOSIS AND PREVALENCE ESTIMATION. THE PLANNED DELIVERABLES INCLUDE: A FINAL RESEARCH REPORT, ARCHIVABLE DATA, A PRACTITIONER BRIEF ON COD PREVALENCE, AGENCY-SPECIFIC FACT SHEETS, AND A SCHOLARLY ARTICLE ON THE PREVALENCE ESTIMATES, AS WELL AS THE CONDUCT OF A WEBINAR.

THE URBAN INSTITUTE (URBAN), IN COLLABORATION WITH THE NATIONAL DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S ASSOCIATION (NDAA), IS PLEASED TO SUBMIT THIS PROPOSAL TO THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF JUSTICE (NIJ) IN RESPONSE TO PRIORITY AREA 2 (RESTORATIVE JUSTICE STRATEGIES) OF THE RESEARCH AND EVALUATION ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE: DIVERSION AND RESTORATIVE JUSTICE, FISCAL YEAR 2022 SOLICITATION. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROPOSED STUDY IS TO ADVANCE THE FIELD OF RESTORATIVE JUSTICE (RJ) IN ITS APPLICATION TO THE ADULT CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM. THE SPECIFIC GOALS OF THIS STUDY ARE (1) TO FILL A GAP IN KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE AROUND THE EXTENT TO WHICH LOCALITIES ARE IMPLEMENTING RJ DIVERSION PROGRAMS FOR ADULTS CHARGED WITH SERIOUS AND/OR VIOLENT OFFENSES IN PARTICULAR; (2) TO DOCUMENT IN DETAIL THE OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE AND IMPLEMENTATION PROCESSES OF ESTABLISHED ADULT RJ DIVERSION PROGRAMS TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE TO OTHER LOCALITIES INTERESTED IN INITIATING SUCH PROGRAMS; AND (3) TO IDENTIFY PROGRAMS WHERE IT IS FEASIBLE TO CONDUCT FUTURE OUTCOME/IMPACT RESEARCH AND DEVELOP EVALUATION PLANS ACCORDINGLY. BECAUSE OUR FOCUS IS ON RJ PROGRAMS IN WHICH PEOPLE MAY BE FORMALLY DIVERTED FROM FURTHER CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM INVOLVEMENT, THIS STUDY WILL CENTER ON PROSECUTOR-INVOLVED RJ DIVERSION PROGRAMS, MEANING THOSE THAT ARE EITHER PROSECUTOR-LED (I.E., DESIGNED AND/OR MANAGED FULLY OR IN PART BY PROSECUTORS’ OFFICES) OR PROSECUTOR-ADJACENT (I.E., PROGRAMS TO WHICH PROSECUTORS’ OFFICES MAKE REFERRALS). TO BEGIN TO FILL THIS GAP, WE PROPOSE A SHORT 18-MONTH, CONTEXT-SETTING STUDY THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO QUICKLY IMPLEMENT ADDITIONAL WORK TO EXAMINE THE OUTCOMES AND IMPACTS OF RJ PROGRAMS FOR ADULTS CHARGED WITH SERIOUS AND VIOLENT OFFENSES. IN PARTICULAR, WE WILL CONDUCT (1) A NATIONAL SCAN OF PROSECUTOR-LED AND PROSECUTOR-ADJACENT RJ DIVERSION PROGRAMS, (2) CASE STUDIES IN FIVE JURISDICTIONS IN WHICH ESTABLISHED RJ PROGRAMS ARE BEING USED TO ADDRESS SERIOUS AND VIOLENT CRIME WITH ADULTS, AND (3) EVALUABILITY ASSESSMENTS WITHIN THOSE SAME JURISDICTIONS TO DESIGN FUTURE OUTCOME/IMPACT EVALUATIONS FOR THOSE SITES THAT HOLD PROMISE FOR RIGOROUS EVALUATION. RESULTS FROM THIS STUDY WILL EXPAND KNOWLEDGE AROUND THE USE OF RJ PROGRAMS FOR ADULTS CHARGED WITH SERIOUS AND VIOLENT OFFENSES, BUILD AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE BARRIERS AND CHALLENGES LOCALITIES FACE IN IMPLEMENTING THESE PROGRAMS, AND PROVIDE A GUIDE FOR LOCALITIES LOOKING TO IMPLEMENT THESE PROGRAMS. THIS WORK WILL ALSO IDENTIFY PROGRAMS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH, INCLUDING A POTENTIAL SECOND PHASE OF THIS STUDY, TO BUILD EVIDENCE AROUND THE EFFICACY OF THESE RJ PROGRAMS.

BY GENERATING MORE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT STRATEGIES FOR SERVING VICTIMS AND HOLDING OFFENDERS ACCOUNTABLE, COMMUNITIES THAT BENEFIT FROM VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT (VAWA) FUNDING WILL BE BETTER EQUIPPED TO ALIGN THEIR WORK WITH PRACTICES THAT ARE KNOWN TO BE EFFECTIVE, AND THEY WILL BE MORE CAPABLE OF BUILDING EMPIRICAL KNOWLEDGE ON THE EFFICACY OF NEW AND PROMISING WAYS OF MAKING COMMUNITIES SAFER AND MORE JUST. RECOGNIZING THE GAP IN EFFECTIVE EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES FOR INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE INTERVENTIONS, THIS STUDY WILL EXAMINE THE EVIDENCE-BASED AND CULTURALLY SPECIFIC COMPONENTS OF ABUSIVE PARTNER INTERVENTION PROGRAMS (APIPS). THE RESEARCH TEAM WILL USE A MIXED-METHODS APPROACH TO: A) PERFORM A COMPREHENSIVE, SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF RESEARCH EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CORE APIP COMPONENTS AS WELL AS UPDATING WHAT IS KNOWN ABOUT STATE STANDARDS FOR APIPS; B) CONDUCT A NATIONAL SURVEY OF 500 APIP PROGRAM DIRECTORS TO DOCUMENT PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION AND CORE COMPONENTS; C) DETAIL APIP IMPLEMENTATION IN FIVE CASE STUDY JURISDICTIONS, REPRESENTING CULTURALLY DIVERSE MODELS FOR BEST PRACTICES IN THE FIELD; AND D) UNDERSTAND SURVIVORS REFLECTIONS THROUGH FOCUS GROUPS. USING THE DATA COLLECTED, A TYPOLOGY OF APIPS WILL BE DEVELOPED WHICH DESCRIBES EVIDENCE-BASED, CULTURALLY SPECIFIC COMPONENTS PERCEIVED BY PROGRAM STAFF, SURVIVORS, AND JUSTICE-INVOLVED PARTICIPANTS AS BEING MOST SALIENT TO IMPROVING OUTCOMES. FINDINGS WILL BUILD KNOWLEDGE OF HOW SPECIFIC APIP COMPONENTS VARY IN THEIR PERCEIVED EFFECTIVENESS FOR CULTURALLY DIVERSE AND HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS.

SURVEY OF STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFICES

PRISON PROLIFERATION PROJECT -MASS INCARCERATION HAS BEEN MADE POSSIBLE BY THE PRISON BOOM, A TRIPLING IN THE NUMBER OF PRISON FACILITIES SINCE 1970. THIS PROJECT EXAMINES BOTH THE CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF THE PRISON BOOM. IT CONSIDERS WHERE AND WHY PRISONS ARE BUILT, HOW THESE PLACES ARE CHANGED BY A PRISON, AND THE IMPACT OF PRISON CLOSURES. COMMUNITIES WHERE PRISONS ARE BUILT TEND TO BE MORE RURAL, HAVE HIGHER RATES OF POVERTY, AND HAVE DISPROPORTIONATE SHARES OF CERTAIN DEMOGRAPHIC GROUPS. THIS RESEARCH CONSIDERS HOW CLOSING PRISONS AFFECTS POVERTY IN SUCH COMMUNITIES. THE PROJECT PRODUCES A COMPREHENSIVE DATA FILE SPANNING OVER 100 YEARS THAT LINKS DATA ON PRISON CONSTRUCTION TO COMMUNITIES. THIS RESEARCH PROVIDES DATA AND INSIGHTS TO SUPPORT DECISION MAKING ON KEY ISSUES IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM. THIS PROJECT HAS THREE RESEARCH AIMS. FIRST, THE STUDY EXPLORES HOW HISTORICAL REGIMES AFFECT THE BUILDING OF PRISON FACILITIES BETWEEN 1970 AND 2010. SECOND, THE PROJECT INVESTIGATES THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF PLACES WHERE NEW PRISON FACILITIES ARE BUILT, INCLUDING THE PRESENCE OF MANUFACTURING AND POVERTY RATES. THIRD, THE STUDY INVESTIGATES THE IMPACT OF THE PRISON BOOMS AND BUSTS ON EMPLOYMENT, POVERTY, ECONOMIC INEQUALITY, AND HEALTH DISPARITIES. DETERMINANTS OF PRISON BUILDING ARE TESTED USING RARE EVENT LOGISTIC REGRESSION. THE PROJECT TRAINS YOUNG RESEARCHERS FROM GROUPS UNDERREPRESENTED IN STEM. THE FINDINGS INFORM EFFORTS TO SUPPORT RURAL COMMUNITIES THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THE BUILDING AND CLOSING OF PRISONS. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

THE RESEARCH AND EVALUATION (R&E) INITIATIVE IS AUTHORIZED BY 34 USC 12291(B)(7), WHICH PERMITS OVW TO SET ASIDE UP TO THREE PERCENT OF AVAILABLE FUNDS FROM MOST OVW PROGRAMS TO CONDUCT EVALUATIONS OF PROMISING PRACTICES FOR COMBATTING DOMESTIC/DATING VIOLENCE, SEXUAL ASSAULT, AND STALKING, AND TO RESEARCH ISSUES EMERGING IN THE FIELD. BY GENERATING MORE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT STRATEGIES FOR SERVING VICTIMS AND HOLDING OFFENDERS ACCOUNTABLE, COMMUNITIES THAT BENEFIT FROM VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT (VAWA) FUNDING WILL BE BETTER EQUIPPED TO ALIGN THEIR WORK WITH PRACTICES THAT ARE KNOWN TO BE EFFECTIVE, AND THEY WILL BE MORE CAPABLE OF BUILDING EMPIRICAL KNOWLEDGE ON THE EFFICACY OF NEW AND PROMISING WAYS OF MAKING COMMUNITIES SAFER. RESEARCH ON THE IMPLEMENTATION AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PRISON RAPE ELIMINATION ACT (PREA) IS LIMITED. FURTHERMORE, INCARCERATED PEOPLE FACE SIGNIFICANT BARRIERS TO REPORTING VICTIMIZATION AND RECEIVING EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TO ACHIEVE HEALING AND JUSTICE. THIS STUDY INCLUDES A SECONDARY ANALYSIS, MEANING AN ANALYSIS OF DATA THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN COLLECTED, THAT AIMS TO IDENTIFY PROMISING PRACTICES FOR ADDRESSING SEXUAL VIOLENCE IN CARCERAL SETTINGS. IT BUILDS ON TWO COMPREHENSIVE DATASETS FROM PREVIOUS JUSTICE DEPARTMENT-FUNDED PROJECTS AND WILL GATHER AND ANALYZE PERSPECTIVES FROM OVER 600 PEOPLE AND 11 DATA SOURCES, REPRESENTING VICTIM SERVICE PROVIDERS, INCARCERATED PEOPLE, PREA AUDITORS, AND CORRECTIONAL STAFF NATIONWIDE. PROJECT OBJECTIVES ARE TO: 1) COMPREHENSIVELY EXPLORE STRENGTHS AND CHALLENGES IN PREA IMPLEMENTATION TO ADDRESS SEXUAL VIOLENCE IN CARCERAL SETTINGS; 2) ELUCIDATE PREA PRACTICES IDENTIFIED AS MOST PROMISING FOR INCREASING SAFE ACCESS TO REPORTING, JUSTICE, AND HEALING FOR INCARCERATED SURVIVORS; 3) IDENTIFY HOW PREA COMPLIANCE AND PROMISING PRACTICES VARY BY INDIVIDUAL- AND ORGANIZATIONAL-LEVEL DRIVERS, SUCH AS SIZE AND TYPE OF CORRECTIONAL FACILITY, TO INFORM DECISION-MAKING BY CORRECTIONAL LEADERS; AND 4) DESCRIBE PREA PRACTICES THAT ADVANCE EQUITY FOR OVERLOOKED INCARCERATED SURVIVOR POPULATIONS INCLUDING THOSE WHO IDENTIFY AS LGBTQ+, ARE DEAF OR HARD OF HEARING, HAVE A DISABILITY, AND/OR HAVE LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY. DELIVERABLES WILL BE POLICY AND RESEARCH BRIEFS FOR PRACTITIONERS, WEBINARS AND PRESENTATIONS FOR THE VICTIM SERVICES AND CORRECTIONS FIELDS, AND OPEN-ACCESS PEER-REVIEWED JOURNAL ARTICLES FOR THE SCHOLARLY COMMUNITY. THIS STUDY WILL BUILD PRACTITIONERS AND POLICYMAKERS KNOWLEDGE OF EFFECTIVE PREA IMPLEMENTATION AND WAYS OF ADDRESSING SEXUAL VIOLENCE IN CONFINEMENT.

THE URBAN INSTITUTES JUSTICE POLICY CENTER (URBAN), IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE AMERICAN PROBATION AND PAROLE ASSOCIATION (APPA) AND THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR VICTIMS OF CRIME (NCVC), IS CONDUCTING A STUDY TO ADVANCE THE EVIDENCE-IMPLEMENTATION CAPACITY OF TWO TYPES OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AGENCIES THAT DIRECTLY INTERACT WITH PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY: 1) PROBATION AND PAROLE AGENCIES THAT SUPERVISE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY WHO HAVE HARMED AND 2)VICTIM SERVICE PROVIDERS THAT ASSIST PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY WHO HAVE BEEN HARMED. WE ARE CONDUCTING CONDUCT A RIGOROUS, EVIDENCE-TO-ACTION DEMONSTRATION PROJECT TO UNDERSTAND HOW FRONTLINE AND SUPERVISORY DECISION-MAKERS IN THESE TWO TYPES OF COMMUNITY-FACING AGENCIES LEARN, ADOPT,AND IMPLEMENT EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES (EBPS), FOLLOWING AN IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE FRAMEWORK DERIVED FROM THE NATIONAL IMPLEMENTATION RESEARCH NETWORK. THIS INVOLVES A CLUSTER RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL WITH THREE CONDITIONS INVOLVING VARYING LEVELS OF COACHING; SURVEYS, INTERVIEWS, AND FOCUS GROUPS TO UNDERSTAND HOW STAFF AND CLIENTS RESPOND TO DIFFERENT APPROACHES; AND A COST ASSESSMENT TO DETERMINE VARYING FINANCIAL BURDEN OF EACH CONDITION. THE EVALUATION TEAM CONSISTS OF STAFF FROM THE URBAN INSTITUTE WHO WILL BE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE APPA, NCVC, AND A 5-MEMBER COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD (CAB) COMPOSE OF PEOPLE WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE IN PROBATION AND PAROLE, VICTIM SERVICES, AND/OR COMMUNITY VIOLENCE.
