The project is a collaboration between Viglione, researchers at George Mason University /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/u2014 including co-principal investigator Faye Taxman /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/u2014 and experts at APPA. The team will operate with a three-pronged approach. Beginning in July, they will convene a work group of experts in the probation and parole field, as well as infectious disease and medical experts, to help provide insight./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/n
Next, the project will move into case studies involving three different jurisdictions as identified with the assistance of the work group. In each jurisdiction, the team will survey and interview community supervision clients, officers and administrators. The researchers will also look at administrative data to examine trends in outcomes /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/u2014 before, during and post-pandemic /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/u2014 based on what changes were made and their resulting impacts./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/n
/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/u201cWe’re going to analyze all of this information and data to create findings reports from each case study, and then bring them to the expert work group for feedback that will help inform the project/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/u2019s two main deliverables: a database of successful practices and policies throughout the pandemic as well as the new evidence-based guidelines themselves,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/u201d Viglione says./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/n
In conjunction with the guidelines, APPA will convene a new core committee on health and safety. The team/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/u2019s findings will also branch out to other topics related to the health and safety of community supervision clients and staff, further informing conversations surrounding national health issues./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/n
Viglione says her team/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/u2019s research could also provide insight into the implications of reform-related changes in community supervision that have been discussed but often met with resistance. That includes possible incorporation of technology like virtual meetings with clients under supervision beyond the pandemic./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/n
/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/u201cIt/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/u2019s not the main goal, but there are some potential indirect benefits in that our findings will be able to inform some ideas for reform that could be linked to some of the bigger problems in community supervision,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/u201d she says. /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/u201cFor example, a lot of directors and officers really liked using technology and virtual meetings, but they wanted to know if there was empirical support for doing this beyond when we had to do it during the pandemic./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/u201d/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/n
She says her ultimate hope is that their findings will be used to make progress in the field, both in how policies related to public health and safety are organized and how they could also serve as change agents for reform./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/n
/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/u201cLearning from the perspective of everybody involved really has the potential to improve the field not only by informing empirical-based guidelines but also by adding to the growing conversation surrounding reform in the system,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/u201d Viglione says./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/135677/n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
