dc.description.abstract |
This study explored the possibility of a link between
female criminal activity and dependent romantic
relationships with men. First, the files of 100 women were
examined at a probation office to look for those with a
history of dependent, abusive, or dysfunctional
relationships with men. In the files where such a pattern
was discovered, it was noted whether or not the woman's
criminal activity had a connection to the relationship. The
second research method used was a voluntary survey
administered to 30 female offenders. Third, three criminal
justice professionals who work with female offenders were
interviewed.
The results of the information gathered from the files
indicated that 30 of the 100 women had a tendency toward
dependent romantic relationships; of these 30 cases, 21
demonstrated a connection between the criminal behavior and
romantic relationships. The survey results posted a 36.6%
to 66.6% incidence of a predilection for dependent
relationships. Estimates given by the professionals were
higher.
The final part of the study consisted of a discussion
of possible therapy for female offenders who have a pattern
of dependent relationships and preventive measures that
could be utilized to lessen cultural norms that foster
dependency in all women. |
