ALCOHOL ABUSE & CRIMINALITY IN WOMEN

鉴于对女囚犯的研究很少，而她们的人数却在不断增加，有必要更好地了解她们被监禁的风险因素。 拟议的研究试图澄清酒精使用障碍（AUDs），认知缺陷和发育风险因素的作用，考虑其单独的和相互作用的预测监禁妇女。 将在有和没有AUDs的女囚犯样本以及从治疗中心招募的女酗酒者样本之间进行比较。 依赖性指标包括人口统计学、酒精和其他物质使用史、认知功能和发育风险因素，如物质滥用和监禁家族史、儿童期虐待和儿童期精神病理学。

Given the paucity of research with female inmates, yet their increasing numbers, there is a need to better understand risk factors for their incarceration. The proposed research attempts to clarify the roles of alcohol use disorders (AUDs), cognitive deficits, and developmental risk factors by considering their separate and interactive roles in predicting incarceration in women. Comparisons will be made between samples of female inmates, with and without AUDs, and female alcoholics recruited from treatment centers. Dependent measures include demographics, alcohol and other substance use histories, cognitive functioning, and developmental risk factors such as family histories of substance abuse and incarceration, childhood abuse, and childhood psychopathology.
