This special issue of The American Journal of Community Psychology originated from the Society for Community Research and Action Criminal Justice interest group, with a goal of exploring the work of community psychologists intersecting with criminal justice research, practice, and policy and shaped by our shared values-equity, collaboration, creative maladjustment, social justice, and social science in the service of social justice. In this introduction, we discuss the socio-historical context of the special issue, followed by an outline of the special issue organization, and brief summary of the included papers. Across 13 papers and an invited commentary, we see the ways in which community psychologists are: (1) delivering and evaluating services, programming, or other supports to address the needs of system-involved people; and (2) working to improve the systems, structures, and interactions with units of criminal justice systems. Across these two sections, authors highlight the guiding role of our values to influence change within and outside of criminal-legal systems.
《美国社区心理学杂志》的这一特刊源自社区研究与行动协会刑事司法兴趣小组，其目标是探讨社区心理学家与刑事司法研究、实践和政策交叉的工作，并受我们共同的价值观——公平、协作、创造性适应不良、社会正义以及服务于社会正义的社会科学——所塑造。在本引言中，我们将讨论该特刊的社会历史背景，接着概述特刊的组织架构，并简要总结所收录的论文。在13篇论文和一篇特邀评论中，我们看到社区心理学家的工作方式包括：（1）提供和评估服务、项目或其他支持，以满足涉入系统人员的需求；（2）努力改善刑事司法系统各单位的系统、结构和互动。在这两个部分中，作者们强调了我们的价值观在影响刑事法律系统内外变革方面的指导作用。
