“…Longitudinal research has identified adolescence as a developmental period in which individuals are particularly susceptible to experiencing trauma and, in turn, developing PTSD 7 . Many studies confirm that PTS symptoms are quite prevalent among youth and are associated with health problems 9,10,23 . Our study supported this idea, as the associations between all the investigated health complaints and PTS symptoms were significant (p < 0.001).…”

“…Furthermore, findings indicate that there may be gender differences in the types of trauma experienced by youth. For example, girls are more likely than boys to report that they were the direct victims of trauma, whereas boys were more likely to report witnessing violence [6,31]. Additionally, girls are more likely to experience trauma involving sexual abuse or rape than boys [24].…”

Purpose While violent crime among females has nearly doubled, research on crime still tends to focus on male offending. To better understand the developmental patterns of female crime, this study identifies the trajectories of female offending from ages 14-25 years and examines the risk factors for persistent offending. Female trajectories and risk factors for offending are compared to those from a matched sample of males. Methods Participants include 172 serious (largely felony level) offending females and a matched sample of 172 males from the Pathways to Desistance study. Group-based trajectory modeling was used to identify patterns of female and male offending behavior (assessed via self-report) across 7 years. Results Findings indicate that there is great heterogeneity in criminal behavior among serious female offenders with roughly 7 % of females' criminal careers persisting into adulthood. Notable differences in the risk factors for male and female offending trajectories were found. Females who persist in their criminal careers tend to be exposed to more violence in their lives, have more mental health problems, and experience more adversarial interpersonal relationships compared to those who desist. Conclusion Although the pathways of male and female offending may follow remarkably similar patterns, the underlying factors that distinguish among these trajectories are often different for females than for males. As such, there is great need for a more nuanced understanding of the most common precursors to persistent female offending.Keywords Female . Antisocial behavior . DesistanceThe age-crime curve indicates that criminal behavior typically increases during adolescence, peaks in late adolescence to young adulthood, and is followed by desistance from crime J Dev Life Course Criminology (2015) 1:236-268
