Abstract
This study examines how risk and strength factors inform treatment typologies over time and how these typologies relate to reoffending outcomes for 1,684 women on community supervision in Alberta, Canada. Latent transition analysis was conducted using three assessment timepoints. Three profiles consistently emerged across timepoints: a Low need/low strength profile, a Low need/high strength profile with adversity and mental health concerns, and an Aggressive, high need/low strength profile, which had the highest rate of reoffending. Results underscore the utility of incorporating gender-neutral and gender-responsive needs and strengths in typological development. Treatment typologies help inform effective service delivery, programming, and supervision practices.
期刊介绍:
The main aim of Feminist Criminology is to focus on research related to women, girls and crime. The scope includes research on women working in the criminal justice profession, women as offenders and how they are dealt with in the criminal justice system, women as victims, and theories and tests of theories related to women and crime. The feminist critique of criminology incorporates a perspective that the paths to crime differ for males and females, thus research that uses sex as a control variable often fails to illuminate the factors that predict female criminality. This journal will highlight research that takes a perspective designed to demonstrate the gendered nature of crime and responses to crime.
