Policy Brief: Managing the Release of American ISIS Arrestees
Published by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), this document discusses the need to implement disengagement and reintegration programming for ISIS arrestees in the U.S. penal system. The brief examines six case studies of recently released ISIS arrestees to highlight the lack of disengagement from extremist ideology. The report explores deradicalization frameworks, existing programs, and limitations and provides policy recommendations to improve reintegration. The suggested policies are built to mitigate the risk of recidivism and are needed for the dozens of ISIS convicts who are scheduled to be released in the coming 3–5 years.

Reducing Crime and Recidivism Through Sheriff-Led Deflection: A Spotlight on Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion in Marion County, Oregon
Hosted by the Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Use Program (COSSUP), this webinar highlights the Marion County, Oregon, Sheriff's Office's (MCSO) Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) program and how its unique approach sets it apart. The MCSO uses a treatment-based model focused on accountability to achieve behavioral change. With an immediate, street-based, case management services approach, the MCSO targets the root of the problem instead of the symptoms. Results have included success in reducing criminal behavior and substance use, with many participants achieving sobriety through the supports provided.
NIJ Article

Released by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), this article examines prison staff members’ motivations for smuggling contraband into their facilities and discusses the implications of its findings for future research, policy, and practice. This research explores how key measures related to a specific type of boundary violations—staff involvement in introducing contraband—affects the level of contraband in 301 prisons across six states.
PERF Report
How Law Enforcement Can Better Engage Immigrant Communities
Written by the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), this report is designed to explore the relationship between law enforcement and immigrant communities and how that relationship, in tandem with the variation between state laws, affects public safety outcomes. The reports found that intentionally bettering the relationship between law enforcement and immigrant communities could lead to increased communication between the two, which would have positive impacts on crime reporting and participation in investigations. According to the report, this is especially important considering the current trends in migrant management policy that would effectively blur the lines between local law enforcement and what has historically been a federal government responsibility.
