Citations in the corpus
- The Predictive Validity of a Gender-Responsive Needs Assessment (2009, background): “Finally, many directors felt that the current generation of classification systems failed to address the unique needs of women offenders, particularly those pertaining to mental health, children and parenting, relationships, self-esteem, and abuse (Van Voorhis & Presser, 2001).”
- Actuarial Sentencing: An “Unsettled” Proposition (2013, background): “…ignoring the risk factors and needs that are most relevant to women offenders, and for their lack of regard to the validity of specific risk instruments for women.17 Because these tools are based on male-derived theories of crime, they have a built-in gender problem (Van Voorhis & Presser, 2001).”
- Women Coming Home: Long‐Term Patterns of Recidivism (2010, background): “However, most risk scales are not gender sensitive, have not been validated with female samples, and may over classify female offenders (Bonta, Pang, & Wallace-Capretta, 1995; Hardyman & Van Voorhis, 2004; Reisig, Holtfreter, & Morash, 2006; Van Voorhis & Presser, 2001).”

- Achieving Accurate Pictures of Risk and Identifying Gender Responsive Needs: Two New Assessments for Women Offenders 1 (2008, background): “First, over-classification of women offenders has been observed both by correctional personnel and in research (e.g. Brennan, 1998; Fowler, 1993; Hardyman & Van Voorhis, 2004).”
- Predicting the Prison Misconducts of Women Offenders (2007, background): “For prisons, placement into an appropriate custody level facilitates safety, housing, privileges, movement, and programming (Brennan, 1998; Van Voorhis & Presser, 2001).”
