女性是刑事司法人口中增长最快的部分，但大多数关于刑事司法人口的研究都集中在男性。迫切需要制定计划和采取干预措施，减少妇女对刑事司法系统的参与，并减轻与刑事司法参与相关的负面后果。本文的总体目标是提供一个综合框架，用于制定基于证据的、针对特定性别的规划和干预措施，以减少刑事司法系统中妇女的刑事司法参与及其相关后果。文件第一部分从概念上回顾了促进妇女参与刑事司法系统并使之复杂化的三个主要因素：受害；精神障碍；和物质使用。在本文的第二部分中，针对缓刑或假释妇女进行的焦点小组研究结果确定了让这一人群参与社会心理干预的策略。本文的第三部分也是最后一部分为刑事司法系统中的妇女设计规划和干预措施提供了全面的建议。
Women are the fastest growing segment of the criminal justice population, yet the majority of research on criminal justice populations has been focused on men. Programming and interventions that reduce women's involvement in the criminal justice system and ameliorate the negative consequences associated with criminal justice involvement are urgently needed. The overall aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive framework for developing evidence-based, gender-specific programming and interventions to reduce criminal justice involvement and its associated consequences among women in the criminal justice system. The first section of the paper offers a conceptually guided review of the three primary factors that facilitate and complicate women's involvement in the criminal justice system: victimization; mental disorders; and substance use. In the second section of the paper, findings from focus groups conducted with women on probation or parole identify strategies to engage this population in psychosocial interventions. The third and final section of the paper provides comprehensive recommendations for designing programming and interventions for women in the criminal justice system.
