  DISMAS Evaluation: 2007-2008.

  The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office requested a one year evaluation of their offender notification program (project Dismas). Data was collected from 63 Dismas participants and 70 non participants who were matched on types of crimes committed as well as their date of release. Study results indicate that participation in Dismas was not a statistically significant predictor of whether or not a subject would have contact with law enforcement after release. However

  when examining the impact of Dismas on those who had contact with law enforcement after release

  it was determined that those who attended Dismas had less criminal contact with law enforcement than those who did not attend. Furthermore

  the results indicate that only 3% of participants committed a serious crime after attending one of the Dismas meetings held between the years of 2008-2009.

  Students enrolled in a summer Research Methods class designed a research project under the direction of Dr. Elizabeth C. Dretsch. These students were involved in the development of the survey instrument and collection of data. Dr. McMullan then analyzed the data and presented a report to the Jacksonville Reentry Center. This report currently appears on their webpage. The purpose of this study was to examine the employment opportunities for ex-offenders in Jacksonville

  Florida.

  Jacksonville Ex-offender Employment Opportunities Study

  Diversity in the field of law enforcement remains an issue

  despite the popularity of the criminal \njustice degree. Prior research has typically been limited to surveying students from a single type \nof institution (Historically Black College & University

  Mixed Race Institution

  or \nPredominately White Institution). This is the first time a sample of students has been drawn \nfrom three different types of institutions. The current study examined whether institution type

  \nrace

  gender

  major

  and perception of fair treatment were adequate predictors of a criminal \njustice student’s desire to pursue a career in law enforcement. Results revealed a significant \ninteraction between the institution and gender. Academic major and perception of fair treatment \nproduced significant main effects in the model. The theoretical and practical implications \nassociated with these findings are also discussed.

  An Examination of Chronic Health Conditions among Newly Incarcerated Federal Inmates.

  Analyzed the Bureau's electronic medical records to determine the prevalence rates of various medical conditions among newly arriving federal inmates (during calendar year 2011). The results of this study were presented at the Academic & Health Policy Conference (http://www.correctionalhealthconference.com/sites/correctionalhealthconference.com/files/An%20Examination%20of%20the%20Health%20History%20and%20Clinical%20Findings%20of%20Newly%20Incarcerated%20Federal%20Inmates.pdf). A manuscript concerning the prevalence of chronic conditions among newly arriving federal inmates was submitted for agency review.

  An Examination of Older Federal Inmates

  This research project examined characteristics of the older federal inmate population. This study compared older and younger inmates. It also identified and four older offender typologies and examined differences between these groups. The older offender typologies are based upon the inmate's age at the time their current sentence began and their criminal history. The researcher identifies the proportion of older federal inmates who began serving their current sentence after reaching their 50th birthday; the prevalence of public safety risk factors (among older federal inmates); and the distribution of health-related care levels.

  An Evaluation of the Milimeter Wave Scanning Device Pilot Program

  This project involved the evaluation of the Bureau's MWS pilot project. As lead researcher

  I performed a number of tasks

  including

  organizing and conducting research meetings with other professionals within the agency to learn more about entrance procedures; developing the survey instrument used to gather data for the evaluation; monitoring the data gathering process to ensure its integrity; analyzing the data using the most appropriate statistical analyses; presenting findings to management and executive staff members; and writing up the results in the form of a technical report.
