Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the perspectives held by professionals affiliated with an FJC through a cross-sectional survey. The family justice center (FJC) model is expanding rapidly in the USA and internationally. Despite the rapid growth of the FJC movement, there is a need for more research to document the impact of FJCs on victims and survivors, professionals working in FJCs and the broader community. Design/methodology/approach The current paper focuses on perspectives of professionals who serve victims of family and interpersonal violence and it includes the results of a four-year, cross-sectional survey of professionals working in a community that established an FJC. Data analyzes examined differences in perspectives of professionals based on timing (i.e. from before an FJC was established to the time when the center was in operation for three years) and based on whether professionals worked primarily onsite at the FJC location. Findings The findings demonstrated that although some statistically significant differences were identified that suggest a positive impact of an FJC for professionals, more research is needed to further explore how professionals’ perspectives and experiences are impacted through the establishment of an FJC. Originality/value This study is the first-known cross-sectional examination of the perspectives of professionals working within an FJC model over a multi-year period.
专业人士对家庭司法中心影响的看法:一项为期四年的横断面研究
目的本研究的目的是通过横断面调查来探讨FJC下属专业人员的观点。家庭司法中心(FJC)模式在美国和国际上迅速发展。尽管FJC运动发展迅速,但仍需要更多的研究来记录FJC对受害者和幸存者、在FJC工作的专业人员和更广泛的社区的影响。设计/方法/方法当前的论文侧重于为家庭和人际暴力受害者提供服务的专业人员的观点,它包括对在建立了FJC的社区工作的专业人员进行的为期四年的横断面调查的结果。数据分析根据时间(即从FJC建立之前到中心运营三年的时间)和专业人员是否主要在FJC所在地现场工作来检查专业人员观点的差异。研究结果表明,尽管我们发现了一些统计上显著的差异,表明FJC对专业人员有积极的影响,但还需要更多的研究来进一步探讨FJC的建立如何影响专业人员的观点和经验。原创性/价值本研究是首个对在FJC模型中工作多年的专业人士的观点进行横断面检验的研究。
