Police Professional 30/12/2023 News What Measures are Effective in Trauma Screening for Young Males in Custody? A COSMIN Systematic Review Despite the available evidence identifying the high prevalence rates of potentially traumatic experiences in forensic populations, there is still a lack of evidence supporting the use of suitable assessment tools, especially for young males in custody. For services to identify, support, and offer trauma interventions to this cohort, practitioners require reliable and valid assessment tools. This systematic review (Open Science Framework registration: https://osf.io/r6hbk) identifies those tools able to provide valid, reliable, and comparable data for this cohort. Five electronic databases and gray literature were searched to identify relevant measures. Inclusion criteria: studies of tools to assess for trauma with males aged between 12 and 25 years-old in a custodial setting, any year of publication, and available in English. Exclusion criteria: studies that did not measure psychological trauma or include a standalone trauma scale, or report primary data. A three-step quality assessment method was used to evaluate the methodological quality and psychometric properties of the measures. Fourteen studies were selected for review (which included 12 measures). The studies sampled a total of approximately 1,768 male participants and an age range of 12 to 25 years. The studies reported on various types of psychometric evidence and due to the lack of homogeneity, a narrative synthesis was used to discuss, interpret, and evaluate each measure. The overall quality of the psychometric properties of the measures in this review showed that the currently available instruments for the assessment of trauma with young males in custody is limited but promising. Trauma Violence and Abuse 30/12/2023 Research article Do Parents Have “The Talk” or Believe They Should?: Parent–Child Conversations About Interacting with the Police Parent–child conversations about how to interact with the police are colloquially known as “The Talk.” Studies have largely focused on the influence of age, race, and gender on the occurrence of such conversations. We extended this examination to other potentially influential factors as well as beliefs about whether parents should have “The Talk.” Parents of 5 to 17 year olds (N = 1131) completed questionnaires to assess the influence of demographics, child factors, and parent factors, on whether parents have talked to their child about how to interact with the police, and whether they believe parents should have such conversations. Though most parents believed parents should have “The Talk,” only half of parents had “The Talk” (around age 7). Binary logistic regressions revealed that whereas parental factors (anxiety, perceived discrimination) reduced beliefs that parents should have such conversations, child factors (affective reactivity) influenced whether parents had “The Talk.” Also, with greater perceived police bias and legitimacy, parents were more likely to have “The Talk” and believed parents should. Given that not all parents are having “The Talk” or believe parents should, we conclude that parents might need help in learning how to talk to their children about how to interact with the police.
