Gendered Pathways (2009, background): “…categorical models, as has recently been suggested among leading researchers in the area of assessment (Brennan, 2008; Brennan & Breitenbach, 2008; Reisig et al., 2006), such a distinction might further enhance quantitative understanding of the gendered pathways perspective as initially…”
Women Coming Home: Long‐Term Patterns of Recidivism (2010, background): “Although it is beyond the scope of the current study, these findings highlight the potential inadequacy of risk instruments for predicting recidivism among different groups of offenders, particularly for women who take gendered pathways to crime (Reisig et al., 2006).”
The Predictive Validity of a Gender-Responsive Needs Assessment (2009, background): “Women offenders have increasingly become understood as a unique population, evidencing different pathways to crime in comparison to men (Bloom et al., 2003; Daly, 1992, 1994; Owen, 1998; Reisig et al., 2006; Richie, 1996).”
Understanding Women's Pathways to Jail: Analysing the Lives of Incarcerated Women (2008, background): “Over 30 years of feminist research has produced a substantial body of empirical research on female offenders and their experiences in juvenile and adult justice systems (Reisig, Holtfreter, & Morash, 2006).”
The Relationship Between Matching Service to Criminogenic Need and Recidivism in Male and Female Youth (2012, background): “Finally, Reisig, Holtfreter, and Morash (2006) found that the LSI-R was a robust predictor of reoffense in women classified as following a “typically male” pathway into offending but that it did not predict recidivism in women whose pathway into the justice system was defined as gendered:…”
Women’s Risk Factors and Their Contributions to Existing Risk/Needs Assessment (2010, background): “While the above list of risk and need factors may seem comprehensive, gender-responsive scholars note the absence of assessment scales pertaining to relationships, depression, parental issues, self-esteem, self-efficacy, trauma, and victimization (Blanchette, 2004; Blanchette & Brown, 2006; Bloom et”
Examining the Validity of a Juvenile Offending Risk Assessment Instrument Across Gender and Race/Ethnicity (2013, background): “There is no consensus on whether the same risk assessment instruments (termed gender neutral) should be used to predict male and female offending (Holtfreter, Reisig, & Morash, 2004; Reisig, Holtfreter, and Morash, 2006).”
General Risk and Need, Gender Specificity, and the Recidivism of Female Offenders (2010, background): “Of particular concern is that such risk instruments may overclassify females and thereby subject them to higher-thannecessary security measures (Reisig et al., 2006).”
Risky Lifestyles, Low Self-control, and Violent Victimization Across Gendered Pathways to Crime (2015, background): “criminal behavior (Johansson and Kempf-Leonard 2009; Moffitt and Caspi 2001), desistance from crime (Rumgay 2004), offender recidivism (Reisig et al. 2006), and incarceration (Salisbury and Van Voorhis 2009).”
