Prior research has consistently found disproportionate rates of traumatization and psychopathology in criminal justice-involved women. The current study aimed to characterize rates of traumatization, psychopathology, and diagnostic comorbidity in women involved with the justice system. Furthermore, this study examined the role of posttraumatic stress symptoms in the association between traumatic events and levels of self-esteem. Participants were 185 women from the Chicagoland area with current or previous (past 2 years) involvement with the criminal justice system. Results confirmed disproportionate rates of trauma experiences and psychopathology in this population, and logistic regression analyses indicated that rates of traumatization predicted diagnostic comorbidity. Analyses indicated an indirect effect of posttraumatic stress in the association between traumatic experiences and self-esteem. Findings highlight the importance of assessing and targeting both trauma experiences and posttraumatic stress in justice-involved women to optimize prevention and intervention efforts.
先前的研究一直发现，涉及刑事司法系统的女性遭受创伤和出现精神病理学问题的比例过高。当前的研究旨在描述涉及司法系统的女性的创伤发生率、精神病理学状况以及诊断合并症情况。此外，本研究考察了创伤后应激症状在创伤事件与自尊水平之间的关联中所起的作用。参与者为来自芝加哥地区的185名女性，她们目前或过去（过去两年内）涉及刑事司法系统。结果证实了该人群中创伤经历和精神病理学问题的比例过高，逻辑回归分析表明，创伤发生率可预测诊断合并症。分析表明，创伤后应激在创伤经历与自尊之间的关联中具有间接效应。研究结果凸显了评估和针对涉及司法系统女性的创伤经历及创伤后应激的重要性，以便优化预防和干预措施。
