采用问卷法,对在押的198名男性犯人的人格、社会支持与人身危险}生的关系进行研究,结果发现：（1）客观支持、主观支持、对支持的利用度和人身危险性之间存在着显著的相互关联;（2）财产型罪犯的人身危险性要显著高于暴力型、性犯罪和其他类型的罪犯;（3）有前科的罪犯的人身危险性显著高于无前科的罪犯,有前科的罪犯在客观支持和对支持的利用度上的得分均显著低于无前科的罪犯;（4）罪犯的主观支持、对支持的利用度、神经质和精神质对不同犯罪类型的罪犯的人身危险性有不同预测力。     

Does Professional or Social Network Support Meet the Needs of Victimized and Polyvictimized Youths in Sweden?

The authors use survey data on 2,160 young victims of crime and/or abuse in Sweden to examine whether professional psychosocial and/or social network support meets their needs. The results show that the likelihood of having sought and/or received professional psychosocial support increases with being a victim of more types of crime and/or abuse, as does the likelihood of experiencing anxiety and/or posttraumatic stress.     

SERVING FATHERS WHO LEAVE PRISON

This article describes characteristics, service experiences, and outcomes for 350 ex-offenders with minor-aged children who were served at the John Inman Work and Family Center (WFC), a multiservice program offering assistance with employment, child support, and family reconnection. Following their visit to the WFC, fathers had higher rates of employment and child support payment. They also returned to prison at lower rates than the general offender population. Although the findings suggest that parents who leave prison benefit from a collaborative facility that offers multiple services, more rigorous research over longer periods of time is needed to reliably assess the effectiveness of reentry programs.     

粮食支持保护制度存在的问题及矫治思路

由于历史的原因,我国一直没有建立起完善的、独立的粮食支持保护制度。滞后的支持保护制度显然难以适应市场经济和加入WTO的要求。因此,创新粮食支持保护制度,建立具有中国特色的、独立的、完善的、能够灵活地应付各种冲击的粮食支持保护制度尤为重要。     

CHILD SUPPORT GUIDELINES:

Since 1989, federal law requires states to have presumptive child support guidelines and review them using economic data on child-rearing costs at least once every 4 years. This article reviews the child support guidelines models adopted by states, how they relate to estimates of child-rearing expenditures, the extent that states are updating their guidelines, and some of the more controversial guidelines provisions (i.e., adjustments for shared-parenting time, additional dependent children, and low-income nonresidential parents). We find that many states are not updating their core formulas and schedules. As a result, several state guidelines produce support award amounts that are below the costs of raising children.     

A Participant Evaluation of the U.S. Navy Parent Support Program

This study reports on the results of a program evaluation of the U.S. Navy New Parent Support Program (NPSP). NPSP is composed of two components: center-based parenting classes and home-based visits. Data are presented on: (a) satisfaction with program quality, (b) how well the program met its primary objectives (e.g., helps reduce parenting stress), (c) how well the NPSP met its Reasons for Being (RFBs; e.g., Helps service members concentrate on their job), and (d) program impact on mission-related outcomes (i.e., quality of life (QOL), readiness, and program impact on their decision to remain in the military). Results indicate that parents who take part in both the parenting classes and home-based visits report that the program exceeded their expectations, the program improved their perceptions of their parenting and coping skills, they perceived that the program demonstrated the Navy's concern for Sailors and their families, and the program enhanced the family's quality of life. Implications of study findings are discussed.

Fairness in Child Support Assessments: The Views of Non-resident Fathers in Norway

This article investigates the attitudes of non-resident fatherstowards principles for child support payments in Norway. Twoquestions are asked: first, how well do the attitudes of thefathers correspond to those promoted by the political elite?and second, what characteristics of the fathers’ situationinfluence their attitudes? Data are found in a quantitativesurvey carried out in 2001–02. The analysis show thatfathers overwhelmingly support the principle that levels ofcontact should influence the level of child support, and thatneither parent must gain financially from the settlement. Thisis in tune with the intentions of the 2001 Norwegian child supportreform. The factors that most strongly influence attitudes arethe relationship with the mother (friendly or not), and, insome aspects, the time since the break-up. There is a slighttendency towards fathers embracing the arguments that can beused in their specific situation, but this appears to be mediatedby other factors.     

PTSD Symptoms Experienced and Coping Tactics Used by Crime Scene Investigators in the United States

Few investigations have assessed the prevalence of posttraumatic stress experiences among Crime Scene Investigators (CSIs). We recruited a nationwide sample of 225 CSIs to complete online questionnaires assessing PTSD symptoms, use of specific coping tactics, perceived social support, trait resilience, and demographics. Seven symptoms had been experienced by at least 50% of participants during the previous month, and 9.3% had total checklist scores suggestive of PTSD. A significant regression analysis revealed that higher PTSD scores were associated with drinking alcohol more frequently to deal with stress, admitting more frequently one could not deal with stress and not trying to do so, lower social support, getting angry and letting emotions out more frequently, lower resilience, and finding comfort in one's religious beliefs. Given the proportions of CSIs that experience exposure‐related stress, more should be done to mitigate the prevalence and severity of these symptoms.
