Justice-involved women experience significantly higher rates of victimization and psychological distress, and these experiences place women at greater risk of initial and ongoing involvement in the criminal justice system. This research explored the relationship between victimization, the hypothesized mediators (social support and coping), and psychological distress among a sample of 406 victimized women on probation/parole. Results of the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were significant and indicated a partial mediation model (74%) with both direct and indirect effects. Based upon the results of this research, implications and future research are explored regarding gender-responsive practices for this population.
涉及司法程序的女性经历着更高的受害率和心理困扰,这些经历使她们更容易初次或持续卷入刑事司法系统。本研究以 406 名缓刑/假释中的受害女性为样本,探讨了受害经历与假设中介因素(社会支持和应对方式)以及心理困扰之间的关系。结构方程模型(SEM)的结果具有统计学意义,表明存在部分中介模型(74%),具有直接和间接效应。基于这项研究的结果,探讨了针对这一群体的性别响应实践的意义和未来研究方向。
