“…For example, "turf wars" between different law enforcement agencies, the absence of key leaders, and the "marginalization" of personnel from outside the criminal justice profession can impede successful collaboration (Giacomazzi and Smithey, 2001;Jurik et al, 2000). Moreover, without adequate training and preparation, collaborative efforts can face a great deal of organizational resistance (Gebo and Kirkpatrick, 2002).…”

Purpose -The growth of formal police-probation partnerships in the USA has been accompanied by an increased awareness of the potential threats of mission distortion. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the dynamics of mission distribution Design/methodology/approach -The paper is based on interviews with police and community corrections officers involved in an active partnership in Spokane, Washington. The paper emphasizes the abuse of authority, stalking horse incidents, and the scope of legitimate police and probation authority. Findings -Ultimately, mission distortion has the potential to undermine the credibility of police-probation partnerships. Originality/value -The paper offers training and policy recommendations for police and community corrections administrators.

“…Mental health interventions also must be part of an integrated approach to problem solving for persons with mental illness (Fagan, 2003;McCoy, Roberts, Hanrahan, Clay, & Luchins, 2004;National GAINS Center, 2001;Weisman et al, 2004). A first step in achieving these integrated service delivery schemes is overcoming the competing goals of divergent stakeholders (Gebo & Kirkpatrick, 2002;Shafer et al, 2004).…”

A survey of 134 jail administrators in 39 states revealed that 13.1% of all jail inmates had serious mental illnesses. Perceptions about the effectiveness of 12 broad interventions to respond to these inmates were solicited, and administrators generally reported that mental health units in jails, jail-based case managers, and providing training to jail officers about mental illness were very effective strategies. Programs that diverted inmates with mental illness from jails or mental health courts, however, were perceived to be less effective. Although jails have established strategies to manage these special-needs inmates, such programs are temporary remedies until integrated community-based and jail-linked programs for persons with mental illness are established, appropriately funded, and supported by local and state governments

“…In their scoping review of how law enforcement and public health address vulnerable populations, Enang et al ( Enang et al , 2019 ) defined collaboration challenges as the need for a shared definition of the issue, shared understandings of each other’s roles [also see ( Potter and Rosky, 2013 )], as well as shared protocols and processes. Other scholars note challenges related to trust ( Worrall and Kjaerulf, 2018 ), information sharing ( Gebo and Kirkpatrick, 2002 ; Shepherd and Sumner, 2017 ) and leadership ( Butts et al , 2015 ; Strolin-Goltzman et al , 2020 ). Many of these challenges also are subsumed under other names such as ‘transparency’ and ‘communication’ affecting collaborative commitment to the partnership [see e.g.…”

Intersectoral violence prevention: the potential of public health–criminal justice partnerships

Building successful intersectoral partnerships to address health is critical to reaching health promotion goals. With the confluence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the increase in violence during the pandemic and the heightened demand for racial justice resulting from police killings of people of color, particularly young, black males, intersectoral public health–criminal justice partnerships must be more thoroughly examined. Violence prevention is both a public health and criminal justice issue, with public health systems emphasizing primary prevention and criminal justice systems addressing violence prevention at secondary and tertiary levels. Public health–criminal justice collaborations can provide an opportunity to seize upon unrealized violence reduction goals across the spectrum of prevention. At the same time, issues remain that are at odds across field boundaries as exemplified through community violence prevention. While there have been successful examples of such collaborations, past public health–criminal justice partnerships also demonstrate the challenges of working together. These challenges have yet to be systematically described and rooted in the larger literature on partnerships. In this paper, collaborative challenges are enumerated and evidence-informed strategies to overcome those barriers to achieve violence reduction goals are identified as a way to ground further intersectoral partnership work between public health and criminal justice.
