探讨枪支暴力风险因素的研究有限，特别是涉及妇女作为暴力行为实施者的研究。然而，妇女占被定罪的暴力犯罪的18-21%。本研究旨在测试精神病是否与过去对枪支暴力，一般形式的暴力和非暴力犯罪的定罪有关。在206名女性罪犯的样本中，多项逻辑回归评估了人际关系，情感和行为精神病特征如何增加女性属于枪支暴力组，暴力犯罪组和非暴力犯罪组的可能性。结果显示，与暴力和非暴力犯罪群体相比，人际关系和情感方面增加了妇女属于枪支暴力群体的可能性。与枪支暴力和非暴力犯罪群体相比，行为方面增加了妇女属于暴力犯罪群体的可能性。这些结果表明，枪支暴力与暴力和非暴力犯罪有不同的风险因素。这一系列调查表明，现有的暴力预防战略可能需要修改，以解决枪支暴力问题。
Research exploring risk factors of gun violence is limited, especially research involving women as perpetrators of violence. Yet, women account for 18–21% of convicted violent crime. The present study aimed to test if psychopathy, a notable risk factor for violence, was related to past convictions of gun violence, general forms of violence, and non-violent crime. In a sample of 206 female offenders, multinomial logistic regressions assessed how interpersonal, affective, and behavioral psychopathic traits increased the likelihood of women belonging to the gun violence group, a violent crime group, and a non-violent crime group. Results showed the interpersonal and affective facets increased the likelihood of women belonging to the gun violence group compared to both the violent and non-violent crime groups. The behavioral facet increased the likelihood of women belonging to the violent crime group when compared to the gun violence and non-violent crime groups. These results suggest that gun violence has different risk factors than violent and non-violent crime. This line of inquiry indicates that existing violence prevention strategies may need to be modified to address gun violence.
