BACKGROUND Women in contact with the prison system have high health needs. Short periods in prison and serial incarcerations are common. Examination of their experiences of health care both in prison and in the community may assist in better supporting their wellbeing and, ultimately, decrease their risk of returning to prison. METHODS We interviewed women in prisons in Sydney, Australia, usi...

Self-handicapping behavior exhibits a robust gender effect: Men but not women consistently choose behavior that they believe will impair their performance, even when that performance is important to them. Because previous research shows self-handicapping to occur when esteem is threatened, we propose that high status individuals will be more likely to self-handicap than will those of lower stat...

Purpose. This paper is a survey examining beliefs about cues to deception held by prison inmates, prison personnel and students. In line with the ideas about more beneŽ cial learning structures in the environment of criminals and Ž ndings from previous studies, we predicted that the beliefs held by prison inmates would be most consistent with the general pattern found in studies examining objec...

Our team submitted runs for the first running of the TREC Temporal Summarization track. TS Track at TREC2013 contains two tasks, namely Sequential update Summarization and value tracking. Our Systems to each task are described in this paper respectively. In particular, Stanford CoreNLP was applied to extract the event attributes.

Although in theory, elections are supposed to prevent criminal or venal candidates from winning or retaining office, in practice voters frequently elect and re-elect such candidates. This surprising pattern is sometimes explained by reference to voters’ underlying preferences, which are thought to favor criminal or corrupt candidates because of the patronage they provide. This paper tests this ...

Key points • Prisoners are often considered geriatric at the age of 50 or 55 years. • Plans should be made for the increasing use of health care services and medical care costs in the light of the growing number of older prisoners. • Consideration should be given to developing a geriatric, team-based model of care for older prisoners, particularly those with multimorbidity. • The medication lis...

Although previous studies indicate that perceived similarity can influence perceptions of source credibility, less is known about the impact of ethnic identity on these perceptions in social media environments. A quasi-experiment was designed to manipulate the strength of ethnic identity of an African American spokesperson promoting a health news story. The results indicate a substantive condit...

John Topp, who died on 23 February 2016, was a Principal Medical Officer who was one of the first to draw attention to the increased rate of suicide among the prison population. In the late 1970s, he showed that suicide was three times as common in prisoners as in the general population, that it was most common in those with sentences longer than 18 months and that the greatest risk was in the ...

Dramatic increases in the United States' inmate population has raised new concerns about prison crowding. Although growth in prison capacity has lagged slightly behind that of the inmate population, there is no consistent evidence that crowding is associated with mortality, morbidity (defined as clinic utilization), recidivism, violence, or other pathological behaviors. This paper reviews the m...
