Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS): A Review of Research Findings in Families, Schools, and Treatment Facilities
Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) is a psychosocial treatment model for behaviorally challenging youth, which has been applied in a diverse array of settings, including families, schools, and therapeutic facilities. Numerous studies have documented its effectiveness and examined factors that mediate and moderate the effectiveness of the model. Data have thus far shown that, with regard to behavioral improvements, CPS is at least the equivalent of the standard of care for externalizing youth, Parent Management Training, and that CPS may hold additional benefits as regards parent–child interactions and children’s skill enhancement.

Developing Resilience in Youth with Incarcerated Parents
The number of children with incarcerated parents has grown in recent years. Many of these children are being raised by another family member or are part of the foster care system. This adverse childhood experience can affect the academic, social, emotional, and behavioral development of children. To support them through this life experience, teachers, counselors, and social workers can use bibliotherapy. Coupling bibliotherapy with a framework from which to examine the lives of protagonists in literature can be a powerful problem-solving mechanism for children of incarcerated parents. The authors of this piece present how the 7C’s of Resilience are portrayed in chapter books about children with incarcerated parents. A case for using the 7C’s as discussion points during read-alouds and literature circles is presented.

Dramaturgy of mobility: Towards crossover and fusion in out of the ordinary
This article examines the implications that the new cultural competencies and literacies associated with participatory and popular cultures might hold for dramaturgy in terms of characterisation, creating a sense of space-time, and the artist's role in society.Our analysis focuses on Alex Vickery-Howe's new Australian play Out of the Ordinary (2016), situating it in the context of his earlier explorations of alternative dramaturgies, Once Upon a Midnight (2008) and Molly's Shoes (2011).Drawing structurally on the ways crossover and fusion have developed new cultural expression and reached new audiences in music and film, we investigate the creative potential that comics, manga, anime and related fan cultures might hold for dramaturgy.Our goal is to explore the thinking that underlies crossover and fusion as artistic practices requiring a kind of creative bilingualism - in our case, a mastery of the cultural competencies and literacies associated with cross- and multi-modal creative expression.We suggest that such creative bilingualism has been a continuing element in culture since the rise of melodrama, reminding us that expressive turns towards mystery, magic, intense spiritual experiences, etc.could, in fact, underscore social engagement.

Career Thoughts of Male Offenders Re-entering Society Using Cognitive Theory Assessment
Acquiring a job after incarceration is a perpetual challenge for ex-offenders. With nearly 95% of incarcerated individuals eventually returning to communities, the effort to understand and maintain employment and self-sufficiency may be a critical component of success. The purpose of this descriptive study was to examine the career thoughts of offenders (N = 241) nearing release. By investigating an individual’s self-perception of employability and capability, those who serve incarcerated individuals may be better prepared to meet the challenge of barriers to employment after release. Results indicate that the youngest generation has higher levels of commitment anxiety; and less educated prisoners have significantly higher decision-making confusion, external conflict, and overall CTI scores. Implications and findings are discussed and future research is proposed.

Employee Perceptions Related to Specific Work Processes within the Crime Control Model Known as the Stratified Model
Employee Perceptions Related to Specific Work Processes Within the Crime Control Model Known as the Stratified Model, Robert W. Steinkraus, Jr., 2020: Dissertation, Nova Southeastern University, Abraham S. Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice. Descriptors: Stratified Model, crime reduction model, crime reduction, crime control, crime analysis The purpose of this study was to measure employee perceptions of satisfaction as they relate to specific work processes and products within the Stratified Model. The Stratified Model is a crime-reduction model that was developed and gradually implemented first within the Port St. Lucie Police Department between 2004-2011. The full implementation of this crime-reduction model occurred in 2012. The Port St. Lucie Police department has since achieved greater reductions of the overall crime rate than other cities in Florida consisting of similar populations. In 2019, Port St. Lucie had the 7th largest population in Florida. Currently, it is unknown how organizational employees of the Port St. Lucie Police Department perceive their individual and combined contributions within the overall approach of the Stratified Model. Employees at all levels of the organization will have an opportunity to rate specific internal mechanisms within this crime reduction model. These perceptions may lead to future opportunities for improving the Stratified Model. There is a gap in the available literature that addresses how workers of a police organization perceive the crime reduction model’s specific internal work processes that influence organizational goals and the accompanying results. To address this gap in the literature, research questions were developed related to what the average opinions of employees with respect to actions are (i.e., processes) that are involved in producing specific outcomes (i.e., products) of the organizations, what are the average opinions of employees with respect to the quality of outcomes produced by the organization, and what are the average opinions of each type of employee with respect to the processes and products of the organization. The results suggested that employees were generally satisfied with both the products and processes of internal procedures. However, when results were considered for different types of employees, it was found that ratings for the command staff level of the organization were significantly lower in the areas of communication, dissemination of information, and use of intelligence. Recommendations were made to address these areas of concern.
