Abstract

Drawing on findings from a prospective cohort design study that followed abused and neglected children and demographically matched controls into adulthood, this paper focuses on these abused and neglected girls and one important consequence—the extent to which these victims become offenders themselves. We ask four questions: Is criminal behavior among abused and neglected girls and women rare? Are abused and neglected girls at increased risk for becoming violent offenders? Does childhood maltreatment affect criminal career trajectories for girls? Do maltreated girls grow up to maltreat their own children? We conclude with discussion, suggestions for future research, and implications.
暴力的循环:被虐待和忽视的女孩到成年女性罪犯
根据一项前瞻性队列设计研究的结果,该研究跟踪了受虐待和被忽视的儿童以及人口统计学上匹配的对照组,直到成年,本文将重点放在这些受虐待和被忽视的女孩以及一个重要的后果上——这些受害者自己成为犯罪者的程度。我们提出了四个问题:被虐待和被忽视的女孩和妇女的犯罪行为罕见吗?被虐待和被忽视的女孩成为暴力罪犯的风险增加了吗?童年虐待是否会影响女孩的犯罪生涯轨迹?被虐待的女孩长大后会虐待自己的孩子吗?最后,我们讨论了未来研究的建议和启示。

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.
