“…Ignoring a pattern helps them avoid seeing themselves in the video; they do not want to recognize themselves as the oppressor or part of a racial group that exerts hegemony. The incident is not seen as a microcosm of racism but rather as a manifestation of the failings of a corrupt individual whose race and gender are irrelevant and hence do not reflect broader societal issues based in social structural inequality (Watson et al 2020). 1 The flip side of social structural inequality is undeserved White privilege.…”

Following the death of George Floyd, Facebook posts about the Black Lives Matter movement (BLM) surged, creating the opportunity to examine reactions by race and sex. This study employed a two-part mixed methods approach beginning with an analysis of posts from a single college student’s Facebook newsfeed over a 12-week period, commencing on the date of George Floyd’s death (25 May 2020). A triangulation protocol enhanced exploratory observational–archival Facebook posts with qualitative data from 24 Black and White college students queried about their views of BLM and policing. The Facebook data revealed that White males, who were the least active in posting about BLM, were most likely to criticize BLM protests. They also believed incidents of police brutality were exceptions that tainted an otherwise commendable profession. In contrast, Black individuals commonly saw the case of George Floyd as consistent with a longstanding pattern of injustice that takes an emotional toll, and as an egregious exemplification of racism that calls for indictment of the status quo. The exploratory data in this article also illustrate how even for a cause célèbre, attention on Facebook ebbs over time. This phenomenon obscures the urgency of effecting change, especially for persons whose understanding of racism is influenced by its coverage on social media. The need to recognize the divergence of views—how they vary by sex and race and their connection to social media—remains critical for progress in determining the best steps forward in race relations and police reform.

“…This may contribute to the "us versus them" mentality, keeping score on sentence length as success for prosecutions, arrest numbers for police, and breaches for parole and probation (Sawyer & Wagner, 2020). Recent world events have had an impact on policing, bringing the justice system under the microscope, as the murder of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the shooting of Jacob Blake by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and the murder of Breonna Taylor by police in Louisville, Kentucky, have all led to discussions of defunding the police and implementing massive justice reforms (Akbar, 2020;Watson et al, 2020).…”

Universal precautions: A methodology for trauma-informed justice

The research clearly indicates that the vast majority of individuals involved in the justice system who display offending behaviour have experienced trauma, victimization, or Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Knowing this to be empirically factual raises the question, why is this not highlighted in the training of police officers, correctional officers, parole and probation officers, crown prosecutors, defence lawyers, and judges alike? An understanding of the Justice Client and their complex trauma could have important consequences on how all justice actors interact with people who experience the justice system. Knowing that these individuals were often victims long before they were offending could bring a more compassionate lens to the justice system. Having traumatic experiences is not the cause of offending, but it is often present in the offending population. The prevalence of trauma among the offending population, who themselves have often traumatized their victims, suggests a much-needed change in how police are trained to interact with Justice Clients. This paper applies the concept of Universal Precautions from first aid training in the development of practical policy to create a justice system based in compassion.

T his essay marks a change in the dissemination of articles in Family Process. As of our first issue in 2022, we will move to all online distribution of our articles and no longer produce hard copies of our issues. This change is both inevitable and amazing. Amazing in that Family Process is a journal with a long and distinguished history of 60 years. So many have spent so much time holding well-worn copies of issues and poring over its pages. Those pages included some of the most significant articles about family systems and systemic therapy; our back catalog is a treasure trove of writing that made a significant impact on the field. Our authors have included almost every significant figure connected to couple and family therapy, and most connected to family science. Think of Goldner on feminism and family therapy (
