虽然定性研究已经为通路理论提供了几十年的信息，但很少有定量研究探索这一理论。本研究采用路径分析方法，从163名男性和103名女性审前被告收集了促进性别平等的需求的措施。结果表明，存在一个途径，预审失败，包括儿童虐待，精神疾病的历史指标，药物滥用的妇女。这项研究的影响可能会告知目前的做法，矫正风险/需求评估和案件规划，并帮助制定更全面，更有效的方案和干预措施，司法参与的妇女。
Although qualitative research has informed Pathways Theory for decades, there are few quantitative studies that have explored this theory. This study utilizes a path analytic approach with measures of gender-responsive needs collected from 163 male and 103 female pretrial defendants. Results indicate the presence of a pathway to pretrial failure that includes childhood abuse, historical indicators of mental illness, and substance abuse for women only. The implications of this study are likely to inform the current practice of correctional risk/needs assessments and case planning, and to aid the development of more comprehensive and effective programs and interventions for justice-involved women.
