Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Criminal justice involvement has become an increasingly common life event in modern societies and can profoundly impact the health and overall wellness of individuals and families. Criminal justice involvement can occur in many forms, such as police stops, parole and probation, jail and prison imprisonment, and juvenile justice engagement. Due to the stigma and stress related to criminal justice involvement, there is a pressing need for additional research to gain an in-depth understanding of its direct and collateral consequences on individuals and families. Growing knowledge in this field will empower us to incorporate criminal justice involvement-related experiences into studying health and wellness disparities and inform intervention and policy development. We invite you to submit manuscripts focusing on criminal justice involvement and the well-being of individuals and families and addressing the implications for practices and policies. We enthusiastically invite various forms of research from different countries and conducted on diverse populations and welcome submissions employing qualitative and quantitative approaches, mixed methods, and systematic/scoping reviews. By encompassing diverse methods, we seek to gather comprehensive perspectives on this important area of study.
In this Special Issue, contributions must be one of the following three categories of papers: articles, conceptual papers, or reviews; in addition, they must address the topic of the Special Issue.
