Over the past twenty-five years, our recognition of trauma and its impact has increased dramatically, and we have added significantly to our understanding of justice-involved people. With this increased awareness, criminal justice professionals are considering what this means in their specific settings and becoming trauma informed and responsive. While research and clinical experience indicate a high incidence of trauma and co-occurring disorders in people’s lives, the impact of vicarious trauma is also being documented.
