Confronting Gender Inequality in Criminological Research: Placing the Focus on Female Behaviors and Treatment

Sat, Nov 16, 8:00 to 9:20am, Nob Hill C, Lower B2 Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

The majority of previous research on crime prevention and treatment of conduct problems has focused on males. As a result, we understand far less about the risk factors and behavioral composition that influence treatment for young females. Despite that fact that males and females share some similarities in the type and magnitude of behavior problems, there are also stark differences – these differences need to be taken into account when developing and implementing treatment programs. This panel will present data on behavioral phenotypes of young females, how they might differ from males with conduct problems, and what effect these differences may have for evidence-based treatment programs.
