The effect of gender on violent and nonviolent recidivism: A meta-analysis

Reoffending among serious juvenile offenders: A developmental perspective

“…In adult samples, unlike males, while violent criminal history may have a null effect on violent recidivism for females. Also, receiving longer sentences may be positively associated with violent reoffending among females (Collins, 2010).…”

“…In another study of boot camp graduates in the South (572 males and 120 females), Benda, Harm, and Toombs (2005) found that survival curves were significantly different for males and females. In addition, Collins (2010) identified that violent criminal history was associated with violent recidivism for males (not for females), whereas longer sentences were predictive of violent reoffending for females (not for males). In adult samples, unlike males, while violent criminal history may have a null effect on violent recidivism for females.…”

“…For instance, a previous conduct disorder diagnosis, a suicide attempt, and a diagnosis for previous attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder could have an influence on reoffending among youth (Mallett, Fukushima, Stoddard-dare, & Quinn, 2013). For example, psychopathy (Edens, Campbell, & Weir, 2007;Tengström, Grann, Långström, & Kullgren, 2000), violent criminal history, and antisocial personality traits (Collins, 2010) were among the important predictors of violent reoffending patterns in a series of prior studies.…”

New frontiers in criminal careers research, 2000–2011: A state-of-the-art review

“…Although there is evidence of severe female criminality and offending careers (Collins, 2010;Fitzgerald et al, in press;Gunnison & McCartan, 2005;Kjelsberg & Friestad, 2009), it is dwarfed by that of males. Prior research has indicated a sex ratio of 12:1 (Soothill, Ackerley, & Francis, 2003), 12:1 (Van De Rakt, Nieuwbeerta, & De Graaf, 2008, 10:1 (Block et al, 2010), 9:1 (DeLisi, 2002 in terms of the ratio of male to female career offenders, and the modal research study uses male-only samples when studying the extremes of violent offending (e.g., Dobash et al, 2007;Lussier, Tzoumakis, Cale, & Amirault, 2010;Smallbone & Wortley, 2004).…”

Women Reentering the Community: Understanding Addiction and Trauma-Related Characteristics of Recidivism

“…From a person-in-environment perspective, addressing risk factors in the community is critical because alcohol and drug use is predictive of recidivism for both men and women (Collins, 2010). Despite growing knowledge about risk factors associated with recidivism, little is known about the characteristics of women who recidivate and those who do not.…”
