Effectiveness of an HIV Prevention Program for Women Visiting Their Incarcerated Partners: The HOME Project
Having an incarcerated partner presents a unique HIV risk for women, particularly low-income women of color. We developed a population-specific risk reduction intervention for women visiting men in prison that was peer educator-based and included individual and community-level intervention components. Women who were assessed prior to the intervention period had a positive association between the number of unprotected penetrative intercourse (UPI) episodes prior to their partnersâ incarceration and the number of UPI episodes following partnersâ release from prison. However, this association was negated among women assessed during the intervention. Intervention participants also were more likely to be tested for HIV, to have partners who got tested, and to talk with their partners about significantly more HIV-related topics. Conducting intervention and evaluation activities with women visiting incarcerated men is feasible and is a useful model for reaching more at-risk women
The reporting trajectories of top homicide cases in the media:a case study of The Times.
This study describes the reporting trajectories of the 13 cases that received the most coverage in a leading British newspaper, The Times, over a period of 23 years (1977 to 1999 inclusive). We have classified these as âmega-casesâ. This approach moves beyond merely measuring the coverage of cases to charting how cases can escalate to become âmoral panicsâ, move into a shared âgeneral knowledgeâ of killing or, in some cases, come to occupy iconic status. Some âmegaâ cases fade from consciousness when viewed over a period of time. In âmega-casesâ there is an unexpected âprimary incidentâ that makes the case newsworthy in the first instance. Then the âformal processâ helps to manage a homicide within accepted and acceptable boundaries. In broad terms, the media trajectories of these âmega-casesâ following the âprimary incidentâ are predictable. However, further unexpected âincidentsâ unrelated to âprocessââ suicides, attacks by other prisoners, escapes â challenge the predictability of these âmega-casesâ. The trajectories of homicide cases that begin to link in with wider societal agendas are the most difficult to predict
