Exposure to trauma among women offenders : a review of the literature / Katie Tam & Dena Derkzen.: PS83-3/333E-PDF
Given the high rates of exposure to possibly traumatizing experiences within the women offender population, the potential impact of such exposure on the women, and the maladaptive coping strategies adopted by women offenders, the correlational link between trauma and later crime are reviewed in greater depth. This literature review also examines trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) assessment tools as well as related treatment programs.
