女性性犯罪者在文献中的代表性明显不足。很大程度上，由于我们的社会未能将女性视为罪犯，我们允许她们逃避侦查、起诉和跟踪、登记或强制治疗等干预措施。这可能部分是由于她们在犯罪行为、受害者档案和个人特征上存在的差异，这些差异使她们与男性罪犯区别开来，而我们的系统已经变得更加适应男性罪犯。这篇文章的特点是审查几乎每一个证实儿童性虐待案件报告给儿童保护服务在2010年在美国。研究结果详细观察了男性和女性性犯罪者在多个领域的差异，并确认女性性犯罪者与男性性犯罪者存在明显差异。
Female sexual offenders are significantly underrepresented in the literature. Largely due to a failure of our society to recognize women as offenders, we allow them to avoid detection, prosecution, and interventions like tracking, registration, or mandated treatment. This could be partially due to differences that exist in their offending behaviors, victim profiles, and personal characteristics that set them apart from male offenders, to whom our systems have become more attuned. This article features an examination of virtually every substantiated child sexual abuse case reported to child protective services in the United States for 2010. Findings detail observed differences between male and female offenders on multiple domains and affirm female sexual offenders to be distinctly different from their male counterparts.
