最近针对刑事司法系统中的女性的研究强调了监禁率和参与社区惩教的女性的急剧增加。尽管研究表明女性罪犯与男性罪犯相比有独特且不同的需求，但现有文献表明女性通常接受最初为男性罪犯设计的节目和服务。为了确定女性缓刑犯和假释犯群体的普遍需求，我们对 1997 年 1 月至 1997 年 4 月期间在东南部州完成社区矫正刑期的 503 名全州女性样本进行了调查。具体来说，本研究探讨了对成功完成缓刑和假释有显着影响的因素。逻辑回归分析显示，年龄、种族、酗酒和吸毒问题是女性犯罪者成功的最有力预测因素。讨论了这些数据的局限性以及本研究的政策含义。 (C) 2005 年，The Haworth Press, Inc. 保留所有权利。
Recent research focusing on women in the criminal justice system has highlighted dramatic increases in incarceration rates and women involved in community corrections. Despite studies that suggest that female offenders have unique and differing needs than their male counterparts, extant literature suggests females typically receive programming and services that were initially designed for male offenders. In an effort to establish what needs are prevalent among a group of female probationer and parolees, data from a statewide sample of 503 women completing their community correction sentences in a Southeastern state between January 1997 and April 1997 are examined. Specifically, this study examines the factors that significantly contribute to the successful completion of probation and parole. Logistic Regression analysis reveals that age, race, and alcohol and drug usage problemsstrongest predictors of success among female offenders. Limitations of these data and policy implication from this research are discussed. (C) 2005 by The Haworth Press, Inc. All rights reserved.
