Atkin-Plunk, C. (PI), Crichlow, V. C. (Co-PI) (2022-2025) Delray Beach Police Department Community Outreach Program Evaluation. Funded by Palm Beach County Criminal Justice Commission. $115,456.
This project evaluates the processes and outcomes of the Delray Beach Police Department’s Community Outreach Program. The objective of the Community Outreach Program is to connect and provide alternative diversion services to those who are dealing with mental illness, experiencing homelessness, or battling addiction. The Community Outreach Team (COT) provides daily outreach to the community, identifies individuals who face challenges in these areas, and works with them to implement strategies to improve their quality of life.

This funding provided opportunities for the investigators to enhance their statistical capabilities and practitioner/professional network to enhance their competitiveness to pursue external funding. Veterans’ treatment courts are one of the many problem-solving courts that process criminal cases through a dedicated court docket that blends therapeutic treatment and accountability. Many problem-solving courts (e.g., drug courts) have been shown to be cost-effective. As one of the newer courts in the problem-solving court movement, the cost-effectiveness of veterans’ treatment courts is not well established.

The overarching purpose of this mixed methods research project is to examine child welfare workers’ perceptions of: (a) the presence of systemic and racial discrimination in the child welfare system; (b) the presence of workers’ racial justice values and the impact of these values on workers’ interactions with families involved in child welfare services; and (c) the impact of racial justice and family engagement training on workers’ interactions with families involved in child welfare services. The secondary purpose of this research is to examine the perceived effectiveness of targeted racial justice and authentic family engagement training and coaching with a small group of child welfare workers in (a) promoting self-reflection and awareness of racial discrimination and systemic racism, (b) reducing racial discrimination when working with families, (c) prioritizing relationships over services when working with families impacted by the child welfare system; and (d) empowering Black families who are involved in the child welfare system.

Virtual reality (VR) is rapidly diffusing as a law enforcement training tool because it simulates realistic, stress-inducing scenarios that police frequently encounter. A survey of 40 law enforcement officers from a southeastern police department examined law enforcement perceptions of VR, officer willingness to use the technology, and the physical experience of using the VR equipment. The study found that VR adoption shows promise for enhancing and reinforcing live-action training, given the minimal adverse side effects reported and overwhelming agreement that VR is easy to use. Law enforcement perceptions of using VR for training are positive and increase after using the technology. Notably, more than 86% of law enforcement officers would likely recommend VR training to other officers, and about 90% agreed that VR enhances interest in training. Fully two-thirds of officers reported an intention to use VR training in the future.

This project will conduct a process and outcome evaluation of the PBC Criminal Justice Commission’s (CJC) new Trauma-Informed Training Initiative. In collaboration with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO), the CJC is seeking to provide trauma-informed training to local law enforcement, court personnel, and institutional and community corrections officers. To provide the trauma-informed training, it is anticipated that Policy Research Associates will conduct multiple train-the-trainer sessions with leaders who are reflective of the target population for the training delivery. These leaders/trainers will then go on to facilitate the trauma-informed training to their colleagues. This will be a 31-month evaluation.

Howard, H., State-Level opioid policies and policies that regulate substance use during pregnancy; a mixed-methods exploration of their effects on maternal and infant outcomes
This project aims to conduct a 50-state survey to create a database of state-level prenatal opioid policies and then to examine the longitudinal effects of these, and general state opioid policies, on opioid outcomes in pregnant women and newborns; we will also test for effect modification by age and race/ethnicity. We will then categorize each state’s opioid policy climate (using both general and prenatal-specific policies) and examine the effects on the same opioid use outcomes as Aim 1. Lastly, we will conduct interviews with key informants and pregnant women who use opioids to explore policy implementation and enforcement across states with varying policy climates, and the mechanisms through which these policies influence pregnant women’s lives).
