“…Thus, the role of childhood and adult victimization figured prominently in Daly’s pathways theory (PT). Subsequent scholars have underscored the role of childhood trauma and adult victimization in propelling women into the justice system (Holtfreter et al, 2022; ten Bensel et al, 2019; Van Voorhis, 2022). Notably, traumatic stress, abuse history, and childhood abuse have predicted institutional misconduct in justice-impacted women (Davidson et al, 2016).…”

The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) uses the Custody Rating Scale (CRS) for initial security classification; it is gender-neutral. Gender-informed scholars contend that gender-neutral assessments are problematic for use with justice-impacted women, as they exclude factors (e.g., victimization) deemed more relevant for women. Using an archival database with 1,555 federally sentenced women in Canada, we examined the extent that gender-informed indicators could yield incremental predictive validity (predicting institutional misconduct) beyond the CRS. Specifically, gender-informed variables from these domains were tested: mental health, substance misuse, relationship dysfunction, personal/emotional difficulties, parental/family issues, and victimization. Results revealed at least one gender-informed variable from each domain significantly predicted institutional misconducts. Composite gender-informed scales were created from the set of significant gender-informed predictors. Area under the curve (AUC) and hierarchical Cox regression analyses revealed the composite gender-informed scales contributed incremental predictive validity above and beyond the CRS. Although the CRS was predictive, it can be improved by including gender-informed variables.

“…Jų nusikalstamo elgesio priežastys -dezorganizuota šeima, netinkamas auklėjimas, socializacija įvairiose subkultūrinėse grupėse (Felice, Offord, 1972;Widom, 1978). Nors gausūs mokslininkų darbai pagrindžia, kad visos išskirtos trajektorijos gali būti pritaikomos analizuojant moterų gyvenimų istorijas, vis dėlto tai nereiškia, jog kiekvienai nusikaltusiai moteriai galima priskirti tam tikrą nusikaltimo link vedančią trajektoriją (Holtfreter et al, 2022). Nes kiekviena istorija, kaip ir ją išgyvenusi moteris, yra unikali.…”

Life-course criminology endeavors to comprehend the intricate interplay between individual traits, societal surroundings, and life occurrences that shape patterns of criminal behavior. Within this framework, the concept of life trajectories leading to criminality has emerged, underscoring the importance of scrutinizing women‘s narratives. This entails examining their childhood experiences, and adult challenges, and identifying circumstances that foster recidivism. The present publication unveils condensed accounts of female inmates at Panevėžys (Lithuania) women‘s prison, categorized into four trajectories: the typical woman or random offender, the victimized woman, the chronic offender, and the woman belonging to a marginalized cohort.

Quasi-Experimental Evaluation of Women's Re-Entry in New Jersey - Through a Black Intersectional Lens

Justice-impacted women are understudied and in the state of New Jersey, Black people are overrepresented in the justice system (Nellis, 2021). This outcome evaluation examined if Residential Community Release Programs (RCRPs) are effective at reducing returns to prison compared to women who were released directly from prison with race as a key study variable. A total of 885 women's technical violation data using a three-year fixed follow-up period was retrieved from the New Jersey's Department of Corrections. The RCRP released women were compared to the prison released women and were matched on several covariates using a coarsened exact matching (CEM) procedure. RCRPs reduced technical violation returns but only reached significance for White women, potentially due to the Black women sample being statistically underpowered. This study calls to invest more into gender responsive re-entry programs in New Jersey and to investigate further how Black women can be better served during re-entry.
