The purpose of this investigation was to study the relationship between gender and delinquency among inner-city adolescents participating in a court diversion program. Official and self-report records of 64 adolescents were analyzed to determine the influence of gender on program referrals, arrest rates, drug use, delinquency, and gang involvement. Gender differences emerged in both the referral source and behavioral patterns of the adolescents. Overall, males were more likely to be referred to the program for violations of the law, to have been arrested, and to have engaged in aggressive offenses and selling drugs. Females were more likely to be referred because of status offenses. Gang membership had an intensifying effect on the delinquent behaviors of all youths. Male gang members were far more likely than nonmembers to have been arrested, and female gang members were more likely than nonmembers to carry weapons.
本调查的目的是研究参与法庭转处计划的市中心区青少年中性别与犯罪行为之间的关系。分析了64名青少年的官方记录和自我报告记录，以确定性别对计划转介、逮捕率、吸毒、犯罪行为和帮派参与情况的影响。青少年在转介来源和行为模式上均出现了性别差异。总体而言，男性因违法而更有可能被转介到该计划，更有可能被捕，且更有可能实施攻击犯罪和贩卖毒品。女性则更有可能因身份犯罪而被转介。帮派成员身份对所有青少年的犯罪行为都有加剧作用。男性帮派成员比非成员更有可能被捕，女性帮派成员比非成员更有可能携带武器。
