本文探讨逮捕轨迹的成年男子和妇女，从一个样本的客户承认药物滥用治疗。生长混合模型被用来确定18至45岁之间男性和女性逮捕的独特轨迹。此外，通过性别、逮捕轨迹以及性别与逮捕轨迹的交互作用，比较了每个轨迹组中男性和女性的特征。研究结果表明，虽然男性和女性的五种轨迹的形状相似，但高轨迹组中男性的百分比高于女性（12.5% vs. 8.5%），中度组（27.9%对20.9%）和缓慢增加组（25.5%对20.6%），低水平组中女性多于男性（34.1%对27.1%）。虽然被捕人数随着男女年龄的增长而下降，但似乎没有多少人在45岁之前结束了犯罪生涯。总体而言，在不同轨迹的男性和女性特征中观察到的相似性大于差异性。更多的研究应审查影响逮捕轨迹的因果因素是否因性别而异。
This paper examines the arrest trajectories of adult men and women, drawn from a sample of clients admitted to substance abuse treatment. Growth mixture modeling was used to identify distinctive trajectories in arrests for men and women between ages 18 and 45. In addition, the characteristics of men and women in each of the trajectory groups were compared by gender, arrest trajectory, and the interaction of gender and arrest trajectory. Findings indicated that while the shape of the five trajectories was similar for men and women, higher percentages of men than women were in the High trajectory group (12.5% vs. 8.5%), the Moderate group (27.9% vs. 20.9%), and Slow Increase group (25.5% vs. 20.6%), with more women than men being in the Low group (34.1% vs. 27.1%). Although arrests declined as men and women aged, there did not appear to be many individuals who had terminated their criminal career by age 45. Overall, more similarities than differences were observed in the characteristics of men and women across trajectories. Additional research should examine whether the causal factors influencing arrest trajectories differ by gender.
