What will be an ideal response?
They are normal/situational female offenders who do not have high-risk factors and engage in minor crime. As the name implies, adolescence-limited female offenders commit minor crimes and stop as they reach adulthood. The history of victimized, socially withdrawn and depressed female offenders includes early abuse and trauma that lead to withdrawn behavior, mistrust of others, hostility, drug use, and eventually crime. Unlike the normal/situational female offenders, the fourth type of offenders--chronic serious female offenders--experienced high-risk factors and had endured early abuse, school and family problems, and battery; they are very similar to Daly’s (1992) harmed and harming offenders. Lastly, Brennan et al.’s review identified socialized/socially marginalized female offenders who are “characterized throughout the literature as poor, marginalized, undereducated women with criminal families and friends.”
