Thesis statement: Despite assertions that bullying is just kids
being kids, the behavior actually
comes from not understanding differences, disabilities, and
specialness – a problem parents,
educators, and others who work with children can use fiction to
solve.
Constantinescu, C. & Samuels, C. A. (2016, September 6).
Studies flag potential downside to
inclusion. Education Week. Retrieved from www.edweek.org.
Constantinescu and Samuels review studies that suggest
inclusion of special education
students with typical peers can be problematic, particularly for
younger children. In fact, several
studies indicated that typical children in kindergarten and first
grade who have special needs
peers in their classes are more likely to have behavior issues,
problems with social skills, and
lower scores in reading and math (2016). The article describes
the experience of one education
teacher who expressed concern that inclusion of special needs
students in the classroom
negatively influences the behavior of other students by
precipitating and increasing incidents of
verbal and/or physical conflict between the students
(Constantinescu & Samuels, 2016).
Education Week has been publishing since 1981, and they cover
different angles on an
array of education-related issues. The authors have published
other articles in Education Week
and elsewhere. The topics are all about education, but not all
are focused on inclusion or special
needs students, which helped me conclude that they do not have
a biased agenda. Within the
article, they cite research studies to support their ideas, and this
article was published in 2016,
making it recent.
This article could be seen as a challenge to my argument.
Clearly, the described situation
is unacceptable, but inclusion is not the problem; it is a lack of
strategies and support to teach all

This non-profit has developed numerous resources on its
website to address the problem
of bullying and kids. The page titled “Bullying and Youth with
Disabilities and Special Needs”
describes why children with special needs are more apt to be
bullied, details how to create safer
environments for these children in a school setting, notes the
role of federal Civil Rights
disabilities laws in this issue, and offers additional resources
that could be helpful for parents,
such as a tip sheet on special health needs (StopBullying, n.d.)
On their “About Us” page, the organization notes that it draws
information from various
government agencies and that it has an Editorial Board to

Centers for Disease Control, and
the Department of Justice; furthermore, the site is maintained
by the U.S. Department of Health

Walsh examines the particular challenges that special needs
children face when being
bullied and some reasons that they may be more likely to be
targets of bullying. In particular, she
notes that typical children just may not understand behaviors
and cognitive challenges that come
with disabilities like autism (Walsh, 2015). She also notes an
important problem that can arise for
special needs children who are bullying victims—regression.
This is when a child loses skills that

problem in the classroom since
these children already struggle to achieve academic success.
I found this article in the Purdue Global Library, which gives
me confidence in its
reliability, but I also base my evaluation on the fact that this
was published in 2015 and written
by a lawyer who specializes in advocating for children with
disabilities. This article will help me
to support my claim that education is crucial for addressing
bullying of special needs children as
well as why this is so important in a classroom setting—to
address regression.

Abstract This study characterized the specific offenses for
which homeless indi-
viduals are arrested and incarcerated. Data were gathered from
581 homeless
adults across 6 Oklahoma City shelters. Participants were asked
to self-report
incarceration history, nights spent in jails and prisons, and the
offenses for which
they were arrested. Overall, 76% of the sample had ever been
arrested. Fifty-seven
percent of the sample had been to jail more than 3 times in their
lifetime and 13%
had ever intentionally been arrested. The most prevalent type of
arrest was drug
possession (35%), followed by driving under the influence
(31%) and disorderly
conduct or public drunkenness (28%). Violent arrests, such as
assault, robbery,
domestic violence, murder, and rape, were the least prevalent
type of arrest. In
summary, offenses were largely drug and status offenses. These
offenses may be
prevented through increased substance use treatment
accessibility and availability
of housing. Policies to increase employment and housing for
homeless adults
regardless of criminal history should be expanded to reduce the
occurrence of
justice involvement.

Introduction
On any given night, more than half a million adults experience
homelessness in the
United States (U.S.) (American Psychiatric Association, 2013),
and 6.2% of adults in
the U.S. have been homeless at some point in their lifetime
(Toro et al., 2007).
Estimates suggest that 17% of homeless adults are under
correctional supervision,
and approximately 29% had spent at least one night in jail or
prison in the past
12 months (Bandiera, Atem, Ma, Businelle, & Kendzor, 2016).
Estimates suggest that
each homeless person costs the criminal justice system $6520,
excluding mental health
($4157) and substance use treatment ($1318) (Spellman, 2010).
The absence of a
permanent address increases the likelihood that a person will be
denied bail; as a result,
homeless adults are more likely to spend longer terms in
custody than those with a
permanent address (Novac, Hermer, Paradis, & Kellen, 2009).
Homeless adults are
more likely to return to jail after incarceration than domiciled
adults (Metraux &
Culhane, 2004; Somers, Rezansoff, Moniruzzaman, Palepu, &
Patterson, 2013); a
cycle commonly referred to as the ‘revolving door’ of homeless
incarceration.
This ‘revolving door’ of incarceration for homeless adults is not
surprising because
homeless adults suffer disproportionately from mental health
and substance use disorders
(Michaels, Zoloth, Alcabes, Braslow, & Safyer, 1992;
Robertson, Zlotnick, & Westerfelt,
1997). Connections with mental health and substance use
treatment services are not often
provided upon release from jail (Brown, Hickey, & Buck,
2013). Thus, it is often difficult
for homeless adults released from jail to modify behavior that
resulted in incarceration.
Previous studies have documented a relationship between
homelessness and incar-
ceration. Michaels and colleagues found that 20% of New York
inmates had been
homeless the night prior to arrest (Michaels et al., 1992).
Similarly, results from a
national study of inmates in United States jails suggested that
15.3% of the population
had at least one episode of homelessness in the twelve months
prior to incarceration,
but only 2.9% were homeless at the time of incarceration
(Greenberg & Rosenheck,
2008). Conversely, 23.1% of adults in homeless shelters have
histories of incarceration
(Metraux & Culhane, 2006), and 11.4% of adults use a homeless
shelter within two
years after release from incarceration (Metraux & Culhane,
2004). In their study of
sheltered homeless adults, Metraux and Culhane (2006) found
that jail release was
associated with greater repeat shelter stays, indicating chronic
homelessness among
those released from jails.
If homeless adults are primarily arrested for status offenses
(e.g., loitering, violating
curfew laws, etc.), arrests for future crimes might be prevented
if these individuals were
able to obtain housing and employment. Despite recent
initiatives to hire former offenders
(American Psychiatric Association, 2013; Breslau, 2002);
employers are permitted to
inquire about an applicant’s criminal history, and criminal
history is often a disqualifying
factor for housing programs (McCarty, Falk, Aussenberg, &
Carpenter, 2012).
Depending upon the types of offenses for which homeless adults
are arrested and
convicted, policy changes have the potential to reduce the
collateral consequences of
homelessness. For instance, if a homeless adult is convicted on
a drug charge and
sentenced to treatment, this offense might be expunged after
completion of probation.
Am J Crim Just (2018) 43:158–166 159
Alternatively, re-arrest rates might be reduced if employers and
housing programs were
unable to inquire about status offenses. It is unclear, however,
whether homeless adults’
criminal histories typically include more serious violent
offenses.
This study builds upon the existing literature by describing the
prevalence of
criminal justice system involvement in a sample of racially
diverse homeless adults
in Oklahoma with a substantial proportion of American Indians.
Specifically, we will
identify the specific offenses for which homeless adults report a
history of arrest.
Methods
Data included 610 adults sampled from six homeless shelters in
Oklahoma City. Flyers
describing this study were posted at each shelter between July
and August of 2016.
Participant eligibility criteria included: 1) a score of 4 or
greater on the Rapid Estimate
of Adult Literacy in Medicine-Short Form indicating a 7th grade
or higher English
literacy level; 2) an age of 18 years or older; and 3) status as
currently receiving
services (e.g., food, shelter, counseling) at one of the 6 shelters.
Twenty-nine partici-
pants were screened as eligible but were later excluded from the
current analyses
because they reported having that they were not currently
homeless. Homeless adults
who met the eligibility criteria completed the questionnaire
using tablet computers. The
Office for Human Research Participant Protection at the
University of Oklahoma
Health Sciences Center approved the data collection protocol
for this study.
Measures
Incarceration/Arrest History
Lifetime arrest was determined if the respondent answered
Byes^ to the question BNot
counting minor traffic violations, have you ever been arrested
or booked for breaking
the law? (Booked meant that you were taken into custody and
processed by the police
or someone connected with the courts, even if you were
released).^
Recent incarceration was defined as having been to jail or
prison in the past year or
in the past 5 years. Respondents were also asked to recall the
number of separate times
they had been to jail or prison and the total time they spent in
jail or prison in their
lifetime in years, months, and days. The total time was then
converted into months over
a lifetime.
Arrest Type Participants were asked if they had ever been
arrested and booked for 20
different types of crimes, including drug, violent, property, or
status offenses; or,
driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Intentional arrest was determined if a participant answered
positively to Bduring
your lifetime, how many times have you intentionally gotten
arrested in order to obtain
shelter and/or food in jail, prison, or detention center?^
Currently under Correctional Supervision Participants were
asked if they were
currently under correctional supervision and, if so, to specify
what type (e.g. probation,
parole, pre-trial release, drug treatment court, and other).

Homelessness Characteristics
Respondents were asked to estimate the total amount of time
they had been homeless in
their lifetime and total amount of time they have been currently
homeless in years,
months, and days. Further, participants were asked, Bhow many
separate times they
have been homeless in their lifetime^, which was categorized
into 0, 1, 2, 3+ times.
Demographics
Participants’self-reported age, sex, race and ethnicity, birth
state, and military veteran status.
Analytic Methods
All analyses accounted for the clustered multisite sampling
design and observations
were weighted due to the unequal probability of selection of
each primary sampling
unit. Survey tabulations and other descriptive statistics were
used to explore the
univariate distribution of each variable. Medians and ranges
were used for skewed
continuous variables. All analyses were conducted using Stata
14.0 SE software
(College Station, TX).
Results
Descriptive information about the sample is provided in Table
1. Briefly, participants’
mean age was 43.6 (SD = .05) years and 64% of the sample was
male. Slightly more
than half of participants were White (54%), 20% were Black,
and 18% were Native
American or American Indian. Fifty two percent of the
participants were born in
Oklahoma and 10% were military veterans.
Homelessness
The median time spent homeless over a lifetime was 28 months,
and participants had a
median of 3 separate times being homeless over the course of
their lifetime. Participants
had a median of 12 months spent currently homeless. The
majority of participants
(70%) spent the previous evening in an overnight shelter.
Incarceration/Arrest
More than three-fourths of homeless adults were arrested at
some point during their
lifetime, 52% were incarcerated in the previous 5 years, and
37% were incarcerated in
the past year. Among those who were ever arrested, more than
half had been jailed
three or more times. Notably, 13% of homeless adults had been
arrested intentionally at
least one time. Most homeless adults in this sample reported
being arrested for drug
possession (35%), followed by driving under the influence of
alcohol or drugs (31%)
and disorderly conduct or public drunkenness (27%). One
percent or less were arrested
for prostitution; murder, homicide or manslaughter; or rape.
Overall, 36% of adults
were arrested for a drug offense, 35% were arrested for a status
offense, 34% for a

Discussion
This study described criminal justice involvement history
among a large, diverse
sample of homeless adults. Results suggest that the majority of
homeless adults have
a history of contact with the criminal justice system, have
served time in jail or prison
for multiple offenses, and spent a considerable amount of time
in jails during their
lifetime. This is consistent with past literature, with the point
prevalence of incarcera-
tion among homeless ranges from 21% to 92% in cities (Kushel,
Hahn, Evans,
Bangsberg, & Moss, 2005; Metraux & Culhane, 2006; Weiser et
al., 2009).
This study expanded our knowledge by delineating the types of
crimes committed
by currently homeless adults. Results suggested that substance
use and associated
problems (e.g. disorderly conduct and DUI’s) accounted for the
greatest proportion
of offenses committed by adults who are currently homeless.
This is expected given
that substance use and misuse particularly affects homeless and
incarcerated popula-
tions (Peters, Greenbaum, Edens, Carter, & Ortiz, 1998;
Robertson et al., 1997), and
persons released from jail are rarely provided with the funding
needed to access
substance use treatment services (Brown et al., 2013). More
than one-third of homeless
adults in our sample reported being arrested for a status or
property offense; crimes that

may be prevented if homeless adults have stable housing and
income (Somers et al.,
2013). Violent crimes, like robbery, assaults, and murder, were
the least prevalent types
of crime committed.
Results from this descriptive study were remarkably similar to
those identified
conviction records used in previous studies. Specifically,
homeless adults released from
incarceration were originally arrested for burglary (16.5%),
assault (12.8%), theft
(11.5%), and drug-related charges (11.3%) (Metraux & Culhane,
2004). In the present
study, 13% of the sample reported arrest for theft in the
previous twelve months, 12%
reported arrest for burglary, and 16% reported arrest for assault.
The rate of drug-related
arrests in the present study (35%) was nearly double the rate
previously identified
(Metraux & Culhane, 2004). This variation in drug-related
offenses may be driven by
the Metraux’s use of conviction data compared to arrest data
used in the current study.
The similarly in results suggests that the offending patterns of
homeless adults are largely
stable over time, and offending patterns are stable across large,
United States cities.
It is also important to highlight that 13% of the sample self-
reported intentional
arrest in order to obtain shelter and/or food in a jail, prison, or
detention centers. We
speculate that these effects may be due to homeless adults
having better access to food
and healthcare while in jail or prison, or homeless adults may
have a heightened
perceived safety while incarcerated. Future research should
include additional questions
to gain a better understanding of why homeless adults seek
intentional arrest so that
structural interventions can be developed to address the specific
needs of these home-
less adults. For example, this information could inform how
healthcare programs and
other government services could be integrated into homeless
shelters to divert inten-
tional arrest among those receiving services, or shelter bed
availability might be
expanded if homeless adults are getting intentionally arrested to
avoid sleeping on
the streets. These steps may slow the revolving door of
homeless incarceration seen in
the U.S. (Kushel et al., 2005).
Limitations
Results should be considered in light of several limitations.
First, the sample came from
one city and participants were required to speak English and
have a reading level above
6th grade, which limits the generalizability of the results.
However, the sample was highly
diverse, including 18% American Indians, which is unique to
other studies. Second,
measures were self-reported, which has the potential for
systematic under- or over-
reporting of sensitive behaviors. Finally, our data were cross-
sectional and the timing of
arrests for adults in our sample relative to the timing of their
homelessness was unknown.
We were also unable to determine whether homeless adults were
convicted of the crimes
for which they reported an arrest. To address these limitations,
future research should
include criminal justice records to replicate these findings.
Homeless adults should also be
asked to self-report whether they were homeless at the time of
each arrest.
Implications & Conclusions
These findings have a number of important implications for
public health and criminal
justice practice. Results from this study suggested that three-
fourths of homeless adults
164 Am J Crim Just (2018) 43:158–166
have been arrested in their lifetime. Offenses were largely drug-
related or status
offenses and may be preventable through substance use
treatment and/or increased
availability of housing. Based upon these results, criminal
justice policymakers might
consider decreasing the impact of status offenses for homeless
adults and expunging
drug offenses (with abstinence) to enhance homeless adults’
ability to gain employment
and housing. This may reduce the ‘revolving door’ of homeless
incarceration.
In summary, the criminal justice burden of homelessness is
substantial and requires
innovative, trans-disciplinary solutions. The prevalence of
intentional arrest in this
sample suggests that homeless adults’ needs are not being met
using extant
community-based services, and the re-entry process provides a
unique opportunity to
link homeless adults to treatment, employment assistance

In fact, several studies indicated that typical children in kindergarten and first grade who have special needs peers in their classes are more likely to have behavior issues, problems with social skills, and lower scores in reading and math (2016). The article describes the experience of one education teacher who expressed concern that inclusion of special needs students in the classroom negatively influences the behavior of other students by precipitating and increasing incidents of verbal and/or physical conflict between the students (Constantinescu & Samuels, 2016).

Data were gathered from 581 homeless adults across 6 Oklahoma City shelters. Participants were asked
  • 14. to self-report incarceration history, nights spent in jails and prisons, and the offenses for which they were arrested. Overall, 76% of the sample had ever been arrested. Fifty-seven percent of the sample had been to jail more than 3 times in their lifetime and 13% had ever intentionally been arrested. The most prevalent type of arrest was drug possession (35%), followed by driving under the influence (31%) and disorderly conduct or public drunkenness (28%). Violent arrests, such as assault, robbery, domestic violence, murder, and rape, were the least prevalent type of arrest. In summary, offenses were largely drug and status offenses. These offenses may be prevented through increased substance use treatment accessibility and availability of housing. Policies to increase employment and housing for homeless adults regardless of criminal history should be expanded to reduce the occurrence of justice involvement.

Criminal justice . Arrest Introduction On any given night, more than half a million adults experience homelessness in the United States (U.S.) (American Psychiatric Association, 2013), and 6.2% of adults in the U.S. have been homeless at some point in their lifetime (Toro et al., 2007). Estimates suggest that 17% of homeless adults are under correctional supervision, and approximately 29% had spent at least one night in jail or prison in the past 12 months (Bandiera, Atem, Ma, Businelle, & Kendzor, 2016). Estimates suggest that each homeless person costs the criminal justice system $6520, excluding mental health ($4157) and substance use treatment ($1318) (Spellman, 2010). The absence of a
  • 16. permanent address increases the likelihood that a person will be denied bail; as a result, homeless adults are more likely to spend longer terms in custody than those with a permanent address (Novac, Hermer, Paradis, & Kellen, 2009). Homeless adults are more likely to return to jail after incarceration than domiciled adults (Metraux & Culhane, 2004; Somers, Rezansoff, Moniruzzaman, Palepu, & Patterson, 2013); a cycle commonly referred to as the ‘revolving door’ of homeless incarceration. This ‘revolving door’ of incarceration for homeless adults is not surprising because homeless adults suffer disproportionately from mental health and substance use disorders (Michaels, Zoloth, Alcabes, Braslow, & Safyer, 1992; Robertson, Zlotnick, & Westerfelt, 1997). Connections with mental health and substance use treatment services are not often provided upon release from jail (Brown, Hickey, & Buck, 2013). Thus, it is often difficult for homeless adults released from jail to modify behavior that resulted in incarceration. Previous studies have documented a relationship between homelessness and incar- ceration. Michaels and colleagues found that 20% of New York inmates had been homeless the night prior to arrest (Michaels et al., 1992). Similarly, results from a national study of inmates in United States jails suggested that 15.3% of the population had at least one episode of homelessness in the twelve months prior to incarceration,
  • 17. but only 2.9% were homeless at the time of incarceration (Greenberg & Rosenheck, 2008). Conversely, 23.1% of adults in homeless shelters have histories of incarceration (Metraux & Culhane, 2006), and 11.4% of adults use a homeless shelter within two years after release from incarceration (Metraux & Culhane, 2004). In their study of sheltered homeless adults, Metraux and Culhane (2006) found that jail release was associated with greater repeat shelter stays, indicating chronic homelessness among those released from jails. If homeless adults are primarily arrested for status offenses (e.g., loitering, violating curfew laws, etc.), arrests for future crimes might be prevented if these individuals were able to obtain housing and employment. Despite recent initiatives to hire former offenders (American Psychiatric Association, 2013; Breslau, 2002); employers are permitted to inquire about an applicant’s criminal history, and criminal history is often a disqualifying factor for housing programs (McCarty, Falk, Aussenberg, & Carpenter, 2012). Depending upon the types of offenses for which homeless adults are arrested and convicted, policy changes have the potential to reduce the collateral consequences of homelessness. For instance, if a homeless adult is convicted on a drug charge and sentenced to treatment, this offense might be expunged after completion of probation.
  • 18. Am J Crim Just (2018) 43:158–166 159 Alternatively, re-arrest rates might be reduced if employers and housing programs were unable to inquire about status offenses. It is unclear, however, whether homeless adults’ criminal histories typically include more serious violent offenses. This study builds upon the existing literature by describing the prevalence of criminal justice system involvement in a sample of racially diverse homeless adults in Oklahoma with a substantial proportion of American Indians. Specifically, we will identify the specific offenses for which homeless adults report a history of arrest. Methods Data included 610 adults sampled from six homeless shelters in Oklahoma City. Flyers describing this study were posted at each shelter between July and August of 2016. Participant eligibility criteria included: 1) a score of 4 or greater on the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine-Short Form indicating a 7th grade or higher English literacy level; 2) an age of 18 years or older; and 3) status as currently receiving services (e.g., food, shelter, counseling) at one of the 6 shelters. Twenty-nine partici- pants were screened as eligible but were later excluded from the current analyses

The Office for Human Research Participant Protection at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center approved the data collection protocol for this study. Measures Incarceration/Arrest History Lifetime arrest was determined if the respondent answered Byes^ to the question BNot counting minor traffic violations, have you ever been arrested or booked for breaking the law? (Booked meant that you were taken into custody and processed by the police or someone connected with the courts, even if you were released).^ Recent incarceration was defined as having been to jail or prison in the past year or in the past 5 years. Respondents were also asked to recall the number of separate times they had been to jail or prison and the total time they spent in jail or prison in their lifetime in years, months, and days. The total time was then converted into months over a lifetime. Arrest Type Participants were asked if they had ever been arrested and booked for 20 different types of crimes, including drug, violent, property, or status offenses; or,

Further, participants were asked, Bhow many separate times they have been homeless in their lifetime^, which was categorized into 0, 1, 2, 3+ times. Demographics Participants’self-reported age, sex, race and ethnicity, birth state, and military veteran status. Analytic Methods
  • 21. All analyses accounted for the clustered multisite sampling design and observations were weighted due to the unequal probability of selection of each primary sampling unit. Survey tabulations and other descriptive statistics were used to explore the univariate distribution of each variable. Medians and ranges were used for skewed continuous variables. All analyses were conducted using Stata 14.0 SE software (College Station, TX). Results Descriptive information about the sample is provided in Table 1. Briefly, participants’ mean age was 43.6 (SD = .05) years and 64% of the sample was male. Slightly more than half of participants were White (54%), 20% were Black, and 18% were Native American or American Indian. Fifty two percent of the participants were born in Oklahoma and 10% were military veterans. Homelessness The median time spent homeless over a lifetime was 28 months, and participants had a median of 3 separate times being homeless over the course of their lifetime. Participants had a median of 12 months spent currently homeless. The majority of participants (70%) spent the previous evening in an overnight shelter. Incarceration/Arrest
  • 22. More than three-fourths of homeless adults were arrested at some point during their lifetime, 52% were incarcerated in the previous 5 years, and 37% were incarcerated in the past year. Among those who were ever arrested, more than half had been jailed three or more times. Notably, 13% of homeless adults had been arrested intentionally at least one time. Most homeless adults in this sample reported being arrested for drug possession (35%), followed by driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (31%) and disorderly conduct or public drunkenness (27%). One percent or less were arrested for prostitution; murder, homicide or manslaughter; or rape.

Discussion This study described criminal justice involvement history among a large, diverse sample of homeless adults. Results suggest that the majority of homeless adults have a history of contact with the criminal justice system, have served time in jail or prison for multiple offenses, and spent a considerable amount of time in jails during their lifetime. This is consistent with past literature, with the point prevalence of incarcera- tion among homeless ranges from 21% to 92% in cities (Kushel, Hahn, Evans, Bangsberg, & Moss, 2005; Metraux & Culhane, 2006; Weiser et al., 2009). This study expanded our knowledge by delineating the types of crimes committed by currently homeless adults. Results suggested that substance use and associated
  • 26. problems (e.g. disorderly conduct and DUI’s) accounted for the greatest proportion of offenses committed by adults who are currently homeless. This is expected given that substance use and misuse particularly affects homeless and incarcerated popula- tions (Peters, Greenbaum, Edens, Carter, & Ortiz, 1998; Robertson et al., 1997), and persons released from jail are rarely provided with the funding needed to access substance use treatment services (Brown et al., 2013). More than one-third of homeless adults in our sample reported being arrested for a status or property offense; crimes that Table 1 (continued) N (%) Assault or battery 90 (16) Domestic violence or child abuse 57 (10) Robbery 26 (4) Murder, homicide, or non-negligent manslaughter 7 (1) Forcible rape 2 (0.3) Property Burglary or breaking and entering 71 (12) Forgery or counterfeiting (writing bad checks) 68 (12) Larceny or theft 78 (13)

Violent crimes, like robbery, assaults, and murder, were the least prevalent types of crime committed. Results from this descriptive study were remarkably similar to those identified conviction records used in previous studies. Specifically, homeless adults released from
  • 28. incarceration were originally arrested for burglary (16.5%), assault (12.8%), theft (11.5%), and drug-related charges (11.3%) (Metraux & Culhane, 2004). In the present study, 13% of the sample reported arrest for theft in the previous twelve months, 12% reported arrest for burglary, and 16% reported arrest for assault. The rate of drug-related arrests in the present study (35%) was nearly double the rate previously identified (Metraux & Culhane, 2004). This variation in drug-related offenses may be driven by the Metraux’s use of conviction data compared to arrest data used in the current study. The similarly in results suggests that the offending patterns of homeless adults are largely stable over time, and offending patterns are stable across large, United States cities. It is also important to highlight that 13% of the sample self- reported intentional arrest in order to obtain shelter and/or food in a jail, prison, or detention centers. We speculate that these effects may be due to homeless adults having better access to food and healthcare while in jail or prison, or homeless adults may have a heightened perceived safety while incarcerated. Future research should include additional questions to gain a better understanding of why homeless adults seek intentional arrest so that structural interventions can be developed to address the specific needs of these home- less adults. For example, this information could inform how healthcare programs and other government services could be integrated into homeless
  • 29. shelters to divert inten- tional arrest among those receiving services, or shelter bed availability might be expanded if homeless adults are getting intentionally arrested to avoid sleeping on the streets. These steps may slow the revolving door of homeless incarceration seen in the U.S. (Kushel et al., 2005). Limitations Results should be considered in light of several limitations. First, the sample came from one city and participants were required to speak English and have a reading level above 6th grade, which limits the generalizability of the results. However, the sample was highly diverse, including 18% American Indians, which is unique to other studies. Second, measures were self-reported, which has the potential for systematic under- or over- reporting of sensitive behaviors. Finally, our data were cross- sectional and the timing of arrests for adults in our sample relative to the timing of their homelessness was unknown. We were also unable to determine whether homeless adults were convicted of the crimes for which they reported an arrest. To address these limitations, future research should include criminal justice records to replicate these findings. Homeless adults should also be asked to self-report whether they were homeless at the time of each arrest. Implications & Conclusions
  • 30. These findings have a number of important implications for public health and criminal justice practice. Results from this study suggested that three- fourths of homeless adults 164 Am J Crim Just (2018) 43:158–166 have been arrested in their lifetime. Offenses were largely drug- related or status offenses and may be preventable through substance use treatment and/or increased availability of housing. Based upon these results, criminal justice policymakers might consider decreasing the impact of status offenses for homeless adults and expunging drug offenses (with abstinence) to enhance homeless adults’ ability to gain employment and housing. This may reduce the ‘revolving door’ of homeless incarceration. In summary, the criminal justice burden of homelessness is substantial and requires innovative, trans-disciplinary solutions. The prevalence of intentional arrest in this sample suggests that homeless adults’ needs are not being met using extant community-based services, and the re-entry process provides a unique opportunity to link homeless adults to treatment, employment assistance services, and housing assis- tance. Future research should consider how the re-entry process might be modified to more efficiently reduce the likelihood of future justice involvement for homeless adults.
