- Description
- This paper examines the construction of the female offender's image through an analysis of reports published in one major Israeli newspaper over the period 1987-1989 and in another during 1994. The numerous stereotypical descriptions minimize her role as a criminal, so that her master status is of womanhood rather than criminality.

- Description
- Recent corrections research indicates that programs and community services providing assistance and training for women offenders are lacking. Using a sample of 402 female felony offenders, women's needs, including those thought to be criminogenic (i.e., characteristics and circumstances that heighten an individual's recidivism risk), are examined to determine whether certain groups of women possess similar sets of needs. Cluster analysis is used to identify combinations of needs shared within subgroups of female felons. Identification of common and co-occurring needs, particularly those associated with high risk for recidivism, can assist program staff, advocates for women offenders, and correctional administrators in determining what combination of program elements should be available to women, and the degree to which programming must address multiple domains.

- Description
- The extant literature suggests that habitual criminality among women is rare and that female career criminals are ostensibly nonexistent. Using the criminal records of 500 male and female adult recidivists, this study applies the concept of career criminality to women and describes how this application has specific gendered elements. Like their male peers, women are chronic, versatile offenders engaged in violent, property, and public-order offending. Women are disproportionately engaged in forgery, fraud, and prostitution whereas men are disproportionately engaged in rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. No gender differences existed for a variety of additional offenses and criminal justice system statuses. However, significant gender differences exist for social demographic characteristics, such as age and timing of onset, and criminal career parameter indicators, such as span of criminal career. These data and analyses indicate that the career criminal classification has important implications for criminal career research and gender-based criminology.

- Description
- Descriptive history of the first black woman executed in North Carolina in the twentieth century. Anthropological and criminological discussions of Negro primitivism and gender parity are offered as viable explanations for the paucity of literature that specifically focuses on the manner in which violent black females have been socially constructed as to legitimize their oftentimes harsh punishments in the historic southern justice system.

- Description
- This paper explores new approaches in theorizing about delinquent girls that overcome the shortcomings of traditional theories. Organized under the broad framework of feminist perspectives, recent research is reviewed for its contribution to a better understanding of delinquent girls. This review suggests that acknowledging the sexism, victimization, and racism experienced by female offenders is crucial in attempts io theorize about and respond to girls' delinquency.

- Description
- Description of criminal histories, substance use and mental health of two samples of female offenders in the community: drug court and probationers. Findings suggest differences between the groups on measures of lifetime and recent substance use. Logistic regression models indicated that membership in these two groups could be predicted by drug use and mental health. The authors argue that a 'one size fits all' approach for working with community substance using female offenders may not be appropriate.

- Description
- Analysis of data from a sample of 503 women completing their community correction sentences in a Southeastern state in the US between January 1997 and April 1997. This study examines the factors that significantly contribute to the successful completion of probation and parole. Logistic Regression analysis reveals that age, race and alcohol and drug usage problems were the strongest predictors of success among female offenders. Limitations of these data and policy implications from this research are discussed.
