Preferred term

female offenders and special needs  

Definition

  • While female offenders represent only a fraction of the crime perpetrated in society, the numbers of female offenders appear to be growing. In considering female offenders, it is important to examine the extent to which they are arrested and the nature of female offenders in community corrections and institutions, as well as the special needs or challenges they face in their communities.
