“…Scholars have been researching delinquent and criminal behaviour for well over a century. However, these constructs have traditionally been studied in boys and men rather than in girls and women (Brown & Gelsthorpe, 2022;Hubbard & Pratt, 2002). Nevertheless, it is imperative to determine whether traditional measures used in correctional settings encapsulated within the Risk-Need-Responsivity rehabilitation framework originally proposed by Andrews et al (1990) are relevant for justiceimpacted girls and women, as the rate at which girls and women are encountering the criminal justice system has significantly increased since the year 2000 (Blanchette & Brown, 2019).…”

The relationship between gender, self-esteem, narcissistic traits, and aggression was evaluated in a sample of justice-impacted youth (JIY). Forty-two audio-recorded interviews ( n = 21 boys; n = 21 girls) with equal representation of low, moderate, and high self-esteem scoring JIY were selected. Narcissistic features could be reliably coded retrospectively; common features included: arrogance, interpersonal exploitation, and lack of empathy or shame. No gender differences emerged in feature frequency or type. Correlational analyses revealed that narcissistic traits were significantly correlated with self-report measures of aggression; only girls evidenced this relationship. A potential gendered relationship between narcissistic features and aggression merits further investigation.
