Nicole Wilkes, Valerie R. Anderson, Cheryl Laura Johnson, Lillian Mae Bedell
Summary: Research in the field of criminology and criminal justice often utilizes quantitative or qualitative methodologies, with a recent increase in the use of mixed methods designs. A systematic review found that most mixed method research in this field is conducted in the specialty area of victimology, and that there is a lack of methodological concepts specific to mixed methods research in many publications. Recommendations are offered to advance mixed methods research in criminology and criminal justice.

Summary: Although initially hailed as a potential revolution in U.S. crime statistics, participation in NIBRS remains limited after more than two decades. The FBI's transition from UCR to NIBRS in the coming months and years promises unprecedented opportunities for researchers and practitioners. Despite these changes, the NIBRS data continue to be incredibly useful for both agencies and researchers.

Summary: This survey provides a comprehensive review of Wales's role in the England and Wales criminal justice system, highlighting the impact of executive devolution and advocating for Wales to be regarded as an independent unit of criminological analysis. The study suggests that future research on Wales can contribute to the development of a more constitutionally literate criminological debate in the UK and devolved European regions.

Summary: As disasters become more common, there is a growing interest in disaster research to understand their impact on health and the environment. However, there is a lack of best practices for Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) in reviewing disaster research protocols. It is important for IRBs and investigators to collaboratively address ethical concerns and protect the welfare of individuals and communities affected by disasters.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and violent and suicidal behaviors using General Strain Theory (GST) as an explanatory framework. The data includes information from 2,195 delinquent boys who resided at a U.S. treatment facility between 1975 and 2019. The findings indicate that ACEs significantly increase the risk of violent and suicidal behaviors, with the effects of low self-control and anger on violence risk and the mediating role of anger and depression in suicidal behaviors. This highlights the importance of comprehensive assessment and consideration of both outcomes in rehabilitative programming for troubled boys.

Summary: This essay explores the tension between research using continuous improvement paradigms, such as improvement science, and conventional research, as well as the role and regulation of Institutional Review Board oversight. It argues that the current regulatory structure favors traditional research and hinders collaborative inquiry that centers the voices and actions of marginalized individuals. The essay also questions whether IRBs should restrict the continuous improvement efforts required of educational leaders as part of their jobs, and offers recommendations for how IRBs and scholar-practitioners can support such efforts together.
