Abstract

Little research exists about PTSD and traumatic experiences among justice-involved individuals with mental illnesses and how those experiences differ by race and gender. We examined traumatic experiences and PTSD among 187 individuals with serious mental illnesses on probation in the United States: 94% of participants experienced a traumatic event, rates of PTSD were highest among Black women (p < .001), and rates of sexual assault were highest among White women (p < .001). Justice-involved individuals with mental illnesses have complex needs and an elevated risk of PTSD and exposure to traumatic events, which has implications for probation policy and practice.

缓刑期精神疾病患者：创伤、种族和性别的交叉

很少有研究涉及患有精神疾病的司法人员的创伤后应激障碍和创伤经历，以及这些经历如何因种族和性别而不同。我们调查了美国187名缓刑期严重精神疾病患者的创伤经历和创伤后应激障碍：94%的参与者经历过创伤事件，黑人女性的创伤后应激功能障碍发生率最高（p<.001），白人女性的性侵犯率最高（p＜0.001）。涉及司法的精神疾病患者有复杂的需求，患创伤后应激障碍和暴露于创伤事件的风险较高，这对缓刑政策和实践有影响。

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.
