Abstract

This study explores profiles of individuals in community service, focussing on gender differences and women’s social vulnerability. Surveys from 503 participants undergoing community service via the Spanish Red Cross unveiled significant gender-related distinctions. Women faced more family responsibilities and lower incomes than men, with heightened economic challenges and engagement in informal work. Property ownership was less frequent among women, who also grappled with more outstanding mortgage payments and single parenthood. A larger share of women relied on institutional support and joined the Extreme Vulnerability Programme. These findings resonate with global research advocating holistic intervention for women offenders. However, this demands a broader array of community service tailored to women’s needs, especially concerning dependent children. Addressing core necessities such as housing, healthcare, and employment, along with enhancing self-worth and recognition, proves pivotal in deterring women from criminal behaviour. A gender-oriented approach to alternative sentencing can enhance effectiveness and compliance.
被判接受社区服务的男性和女性的概况:风险因素和社会脆弱性
本研究探讨了社区服务人员的概况,重点关注性别差异和女性的社会脆弱性。通过西班牙红十字会对 503 名参加社区服务的人员进行的调查揭示了与性别有关的显著差异。与男性相比,女性面临的家庭责任更多,收入更低,经济挑战更大,从事非正式工作的机会更多。女性拥有财产的比例较低,她们还面临着更多未偿还的抵押贷款和单亲问题。更多的妇女依赖于机构支持,并参加了 "极端脆弱性计划"。这些研究结果与倡导对女性罪犯进行整体干预的全球研究结果不谋而合。然而,这就要求针对女性的需求,特别是受抚养子女的需求,提供更广泛的社区服务。事实证明,解决住房、医疗保健和就业等核心必需品,同时提高自我价值和认可度,对于阻止女性犯罪行为至关重要。以性别为导向的替代性判刑方法可以提高有效性和合规性。
