Explain how the pathway into the juvenile justice system for girls is different from that of boys.

What will be an ideal response?


Bloom, Owen, and Covington (2003) suggested that substance abuse, victimization, trauma histories, and mental health conditions lead to female pathways to offending. Owen, Wells, and Pollock (2017) echo this argument in describing the pathways that women travel to crime as related to their multiple marginalization and a social and human capital deficit or their lack of connection to conventional institutions, such as family, school, and work.
