The Use of Less-Lethal Force by Law Enforcement: A Legal Analysis of Civil Liability Cases in the Use of Bean Bags and Rubber Bullets in Policing
No full textThe use of less-lethal weapons such as bean bag rounds and rubber bullets has become a prominent and controversial mark of contemporary policing. Although these munitions are designed to incapacitate without resorting to deadly force, their deployment has resulted in serious injuries, fatalities, and a growing body of litigation. This article examines how federal appellate courts have addressed such cases through a systematic legal content analysis of 16 decisions issued between 1999 and 2025. Each case involved a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging excessive force in violation of the Fourth Amendment. The analysis considers judicial reasoning, liability outcomes, and the influence of key precedents, including Tennessee v. Garner (1985) and Graham v. Connor (1989). Results show that courts are particularly discerning when less-lethal force is used against peaceful protesters or vulnerable individuals, that liability often turns on whether the level of force was proportionate to the threat, and that the application of qualified immunity remains inconsistent across jurisdictions. These findings highlight the persistent tension between protecting officer safety, maintaining public order, and safeguarding constitutional rights. The article concludes with policy recommendations aimed at strengthening deployment standards, a call for further deescalation training, and improving accountability for the use of less-lethal weapons

Applying Supervision to Animal Assisted Therapy: Using the Integrative Development Model
Full text linkA study conducted by Hartwig and Smelser (2018) reported 91.7% of clinicians being aware of animal assisted therapy (AAT) who agree it is a legitimate treatment model. However, 57% of respondents expressed interest in receiving AAT training. Although published standards and competencies published by ACA and IAHAIO indicate the requirement for clinical supervision when implementing AAT, research does not address supervision protocols for AAT. This manuscript suggests a protocol for supervising the implementation of AAT. The consequence of untrained supervisors is the potential harm to the well-being of the client as well as the clinician and the animal. As such, the purpose of this manuscript is to propose the application of the Integrative Developmental Model (IDM) to AAT supervision. The creation of the IDM-AAT supervision model provides an overview for supervisors who work with clinicians new to the utilization of animals in clinical sessions. Scenarios are provided to demonstrate considerations and suggestions to implement this model
Preparing Counselors for Practice with Immigrant Clients in Court Proceedings: Framing Required Knowledge, Attitudes, and Skills within the MSJCC
Full text linkThe Multicultural Social Justice Counseling Competencies (MSJCC; Ratts et al., 2016) provide a framework for defining the attitudes and beliefs, knowledge, skills, and action that counselors must develop to effectively work with clients across identities and social and cultural contexts. In this paper, we apply the MSJCC to counselors’ practice with immigrant clients within a specific context: immigration court proceedings. Evidence suggests that counselors may be hesitant to practice within forensic settings in general, and that training and education enhances their self-efficacy, effectiveness, and willingness to practice within these settings. Drawing on the MSJCC, we contribute to counselors’ knowledge end education regarding the necessary awareness and beliefs, knowledge, and skills and actions required for effective practice with immigrant clients in immigration court proceedings. Specifically, we summarize required attitudes of reflexivity, cultural humility, and trauma-informed care; knowledge of immigration status and avenues to regularize status, as well as the intersections of trauma, culture, and memory; and skills to conduct an evaluation and provide expert testimony while exercising objectivity, ethical practice, and cultural humility
Intersection of Shame and Trauma in Survivors of Child Sex Trafficking
Full text linkDomestic minor sex trafficking leaves survivors with long lasting physical and mental health needs. Due to its insidious nature, sex trafficking is often invisible. Consequently the needs of survivors, who have experienced complex trauma, are little understood. The outcome of complex trauma is trauma-related shame. Understanding the impact of shame specifically on trafficking survivors\u27 identity formation, interpersonal relathionships, perception of self, and overall ability to heal are necessary to understand. It is documented in current researh that mental health resources for sruvivors are minimal, difficult to access, and inadequate in truly making an impact on survivors\u27 capacity for healing. In this study, the purpose was to explore the impact of shame through the voices of the survivors. Individual interviews were completed in addition to a quantitative survey related to shame and trauma. The findings of this research revealed that shame was at the core of survivors\u27 identity and was present before, during, and after trafficking. The findings also highlighted the importance of genuine relationships between social workers and survivors. The suvivors expressed the impact of community and belonging on their healing. Shame resilience can be fostered through compassion-focused therapy interventions. Frameworks such as shame resilience are addressed with implications to social work practice, research, and education
