“…Overall, persons with severe mental illness have been found to comprise between 6% (males) and 15% (females) of the jail population, and approximately 60% of the mentally ill (depending on the gender and mental health diagnosis) have a current alcohol use disorder while one third have a current drug use disorder (Abram & Teplin, 1991). Studies of persons with dual disorders in community programs have found high rates of law enforcement involvement (Mueser, Essock, Drake, Wolfe, & Frisman, 2001;Pandiani, Rosenheck, & Banks, 2003).…”

Jail recidivists with serious mental illness and substance use disorders were treated in an in-custody setting and then randomly assigned to either a high fidelity Integrated Dual Disorders Treatment program (103 participants) or to service as usual (79 participants). Outcomes were tracked an average of 18 months from program entry at the termination of the initial incarceration. A reduction in jail days from baseline to study period was significant for both groups. The pre to post reduction for arrests and total convictions was significant in the experimental group but not the control group. However, during the study period, differences between experimental and control groups in arrests, convictions and jail days were not statistically significant. Experimental participants had lower study period psychiatric inpatient and crisis utilization and greater outpatient utilization than did control group participants. The groups did not differ with regard to total institutional days. Experimental group attrition was relatively high.

“…However, the mental health and substance use disorder treatment needs of female veterans in the justice system have not been a focus of attention in the research literature. Previous studies with justice-involved veterans excluded women 1,2 or did not examine women separately from men. 3 Although women are a minority among justice-involved veterans, with increasing numbers of women in the military 4 and in Veterans Health Administration (VHA), 5 as well as increasing rates of women from the general population entering the justice system, 6 it is plausible that the number of female veterans in the justice system will be expanding in the coming years.…”

Background Over half of veterans in the criminal justice system have mental health or substance use disorders. However, there is a critical lack of information about female veterans in the criminal justice system and how diagnosis prevalence and treatment entry differ by sex. Objectives To document prevalence of mental health and substance use disorder diagnoses and treatment entry rates among female veterans compared with male veterans in the justice system. Research Design Retrospective cohort study using national Veterans Health Administration clinical/administrative data from veterans seen by Veterans Justice Outreach Specialists in fiscal years 2010–2012. Subjects A total of 1535 females and 30,478 male veterans were included. Measures Demographic characteristics (eg, sex, age, residence, homeless status), mental health disorders (eg, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder), substance use disorders (eg, alcohol and opioid use disorders), and treatment entry (eg, outpatient, residential, pharmacotherapy). Results Among female veterans, prevalence of mental health and substance use disorders was 88% and 58%, respectively, compared with 76% and 72% among male veterans. Women had higher odds of being diagnosed with a mental health disorder [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 1.98; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.68–2.34] and lower odds of being diagnosed with a substance use disorder (AOR = 0.50; 95% CI, 0.45–0.56) compared with men. Women had lower odds of entering mental health residential treatment (AOR = 0.69; 95% CI, 0.57–0.83). Conclusions Female veterans involved in the justice system have a high burden of mental health disorders (88%) and more than half have substance use disorders (58%). Entry to mental health residential treatment for women is an important quality improvement target.

“…Compounding the relationship between mental illness and substance abuse for co-occurring populations is the question of how important is the relationship between mental illness and criminal justice involvement when controlling for substance abuse. Some scholars have found that the relationship between mental illness and criminal justice involvement disappeared when controlling for comorbid substance abuse (Pandiani, Rosenheck, & Banks, 2003;Quanbeck et al, 2005), a finding supported in another study involving veterans (Erickson, Rosenheck, Trestman, Ford, & Desai, 2008). Studies of this kind highlight the need for scholars to better understand the nature of these relationships between mental health status, homelessness, substance use, and criminal justice involvement.…”

Past research has focused on the intertwined relationship between homelessness, mental illness, and criminal justice. Although a well-established correlation between mental illness and homelessness has emerged, a better understanding of how this may be mediated by other prominent risk factors such as substance use or victimization is warranted. The current study uses data obtained from 3,673 recently booked arrestees to examine these relationships. Using structural equation modeling with measured variables, the analyses indicate the relationship between mental health and homelessness to be almost entirely mediated by alcohol use, drug use, and violent victimization. Policy implications are discussed.
