Abstract

This study quantitatively summarizes existing empirical research on the relationship between specific mental disorders and recidivism among justice-impacted women using meta-analysis. Eighteen studies were included following a comprehensive literature search. Results indicated that depression, PTSD, psychiatric history, and presence of any mental disorder (relative to no mental disorder) were independently and significantly associated with small increases in recidivism rates. Anxiety, psychosis-related and unspecified personality disorders, and self-harm/suicidality were not significantly related to recidivism. Findings support the gender-responsive position that some mental disorders are criminogenic and correctional practice should be guided by holistic, mental health- and trauma-informed approaches.

精神障碍与女性再犯:一项元分析

本研究运用meta分析方法，定量总结了已有的关于司法影响女性特定精神障碍与再犯关系的实证研究。通过全面的文献检索，纳入了18项研究。结果表明，抑郁、创伤后应激障碍、精神病史和任何精神障碍(相对于无精神障碍)的存在与累犯率的小幅增加独立且显著相关。焦虑、精神病相关和未指明的人格障碍、自残/自杀与再犯无显著相关。调查结果支持注重性别平等的立场，即一些精神障碍是犯罪的，惩教做法应以全面、心理健康和了解创伤的方法为指导。

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.
