  • A Comparative Study of Female Sex Offenders and Female Offenders
    A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF FEMALE SEX OFFENDERS AND FEMALE OFFENDERS: EXPLORING ISSUES OF PERSONALITY, TRAUMA, AND COGNITIVE DISTORTIONS by SUSAN McCARTHY STRICKLAND (Under the Direction of Kevin DeWeaver) ABSTRACT Although crime rates are declining in recent years, crime rates for women are increasing. Incarceration rates have increased for women by 121% in the last 12 years (compared to an 84% rise for men) (Sacks, 2004). In comparison to the general population, female offenders tend to have higher levels of chemical dependency, personality disorders, childhood trauma histories, including sexual abuse (DOJ, 1992; 1994). In the last 10 years, sexual crime committed by women has been identified and adjudicated at higher frequencies. Few studies have investigated the characteristics of female sex offenders, factors and/or causes of female deviance, and how best to rehabilitate them. Research to date has been descriptive in nature, with few comparison studies. Since women share the similar socialization, sexual development, trauma histories, and gender-specific issues, the pathway to female sexual deviance is unclear. This study used a correlational design, comparing two independent groups. Three valid and reliable test instruments, the Multiphasic Sex Inventory – II (female version) (MSI-II), the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory – 3 (SASSI-3), and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), were used to identify differences between female sex offenders and other female offenders in the areas of personality disorders, chemical dependency, childhood trauma, sexual trauma, emotional neediness, cognitive distortions, and social competence. A sample of 130 incarcerated females, 60 sex offenders, and 70 non-sexual offenders, was used. Results indicate few differences exist between female sex offenders and female non-sex offenders.

  • THE DOC EAGLE Summer, 2003 “Soaring to Greater Heights of Excellence”
    Volume 2, Issue 1 THE DOC EAGLE Summer, 2003 “Soaring to Greater Heights of Excellence” Message From the Acting Commissioner... Georgia, its taxpayers, and its state agencies are facing a difficult time due to the economy. Our de- partment, in particular, faces the challenges of providing public safety by ensuring that we do not let even one of the 47,000 prisoners in our custody escape and that we provide effective supervision to the 125,000 probationers on our caseloads. We are doing this in Fiscal Year 2004 with $41 million less than we had last year. We can only perform our important mission, even in the best of times, with good leadership. Leadership is even more important during difficult times. And the kind of leadership we need must exist all the way from the commissioner’s office to the folks doing the front line work in our facilities and on the street. During my military duty in Washington, D.C., this summer, I have had the opportunity to visit some historic sites and many of the memorials in this city, from Mt. Vernon to the Lincoln Memorial. They Joe Ferrero have all reminded me of the leadership that our Founders and those who followed brought to our Acting Commissioner country during its difficult times. I have also had the opportunity to study while stationed here. Dur- ing my studies, I came across a quote from Colonel John Boyd, USAF (retired), who said that leader- ship is “the art of inspiring people to cooperate and enthusiastically take action toward the achieve- ment of uncommon goals.” (Cont.

Elderly inmates are considered the fastest growing group of inmates in most states’ prison systems, and as the general population becomes grayer so too will the prison population. It may seem unusual to think of older women as criminals; however, older incarcerated women are also a distinct reality. While the graying of prisoners in the United States mirrors the growth of an aging population, older inmates suffer from the complications of accelerated aging. Many women arrive in prison after years of unhealthy living, victimization, and drug use, and as they age in place become even more vulnerable to the rigors of incarceration.

  • THE DOC EAGLE April, 2002 “Soaring to Greater Heights of Excellence”
    Volume 1, Issue 2 THE DOC EAGLE April, 2002 “Soaring to Greater Heights of Excellence” A Message from the Commissioner... Welcome to the second issue of our employee newsletter. As you can see, we now have an official title as a result of our contest. We chose DOC Eagle: Soaring to Greater Heights of Excellence because it represents in a powerful image the ultimate goal of the Department and you, our employees. Congratulations to our winner, Kathy Seabolt, and thanks to all of you who submitted an entry. It was clear from each entry that thought and care were put into the message that you wanted this communication to deliver. Jim Wetherington Establishing an employee newsletter was very important to me because I believe it provides Commissioner a special venue for recognizing employees in a very public forum. Also, it’s invaluable as a vehicle for providing relevant information that keeps you an informed part of the entire Corrections family. I’ve been very pleased with the positive feedback from our first newsletter, yet I still want to hear from you if you see a way it can serve you even better. I hope that you’ll have an opportunity to see and hear another message from me in a video that expresses my ap- preciation and recognition of all that you do for the Department. In it, I’m extending my thanks as we recognize Correctional Officers Week, Nurses Week and Georgia Employee Recognition Week during the period May 6th through 12th. You are the heart and soul of Corrections and the reason we’re an exceptional organization.
