The Journal of Human Behavior in the Social Environment helps social workers firmly grasp developing issues in human behavior theories. It provides an outlet for empirically-based articles about human behavior theory that facilitate social workers' practice goals. This innovative journal is the first to address the complexities of human behavior in relation to social work and its relevancy to practice. This makes it an essential resource for classes in human behavior in the social environment. Articles provide groundbreaking, up-to-date information on developments in empirically-based human behavior theory. They address conceptual and empirical foci which study human behavior as a complex phenomenon. Supported theories target specific behaviors for change, possess clarity by describing in detail the intended change(s), predict the change(s), and facilitate the desired behavioral change(s) through implementation of the model theory.
SPECIAL THEME CALL FOR MANUSCRIPTS
TOPIC: Violence Prevention in Disadvantaged Communities: The Need for
Using Criminal Justice and Public Health Approaches
This interdisciplinary special themed issue of the Journal of Human Behavior in the Social Environment is dedicated to scholarly contributions, solution-based, evidence-based, and policy-driven community interventions that are effective in helping to alleviate the levels of victimization, disease, devastation to disadvantaged communities, and the costs of criminal justice and public health approaches to violence prevention. The special issue editors welcome manuscript submissions that address crime and public health and the negative health consequences associated with violence. More specifically, this issue will focus on research efforts that examine the etiology of crime and violence, victimization, violence prevention, and the public health implication of violence that occurs in disadvantaged communities. Manuscripts should include discussions of the socio-historical, economic, cultural, and political context that contribute to disparities that may account for (or the perception of) a lack of justice, and/or the poor health conditions that proliferate in disadvantaged communities. Manuscripts that consider these factors, their implications, and concerns (such as how violence goes beyond criminal justice responses to enlist the public health system) will be considered. We welcome quantitative and qualitative approaches, single or blended methods, theoretical arguments, criminal justice as well as epidemiological approaches, conceptual, and synthesized manuscripts.
