Increased criminal activity among women has prompted greater interest in the mentally ill female offender. An analysis of 72 women forensic inpatients at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, D.C., indicated the typical patient was black, unmarried, in her mid-30s, poorly educated, and diagnosed as schizophrenic. The authors examine some relationships between race, type of crime, drug use, institutional history, and age and the utility of such variables as predictors of adjustment. A comparison of the primary sample with a cohort of 72 patients admitted ten years earlier showed that admissions related to public-order and technical offenses such as prostitution, parole violations, and drug violations decreased from 50 to 12 per cent, while admissions related to crimes of violence rose by 17 per cent.
女性犯罪活动的增加引发了对患有精神疾病的女性罪犯的更大关注。对华盛顿特区圣伊丽莎白医院的72名女性法医住院患者的分析表明，典型患者是黑人、未婚、35岁左右、受教育程度低且被诊断为精神分裂症。作者研究了种族、犯罪类型、药物使用、机构历史、年龄之间的一些关系，以及这些变量作为适应预测指标的效用。将主要样本与十年前入院的72名患者队列进行比较发现，与公共秩序和技术犯罪（如卖淫、假释违规和毒品违规）相关的入院率从50%降至12%，而与暴力犯罪相关的入院率上升了17%。
