Typologies of sexual offending federally-sentenced women : a validation study / Kayla A. Wanamaker, Dena Derkzen and Chelsea De Moor.: PS83-3/417E-PDF
"Fewer than 1% of the federal women offender population in Canada are sex offenders. Very little research has been conducted on this unique group. While their numbers are small, it is important to examine this population to understand the factors underlying women’s sexual offending in order to facilitate the development of gender-informed correctional programming and to enhance reintegration efforts for these women. To assist with addressing this gap in the research and to complement previous research conducted on the profile of women sexual offenders in CSC (WSOs; Allenby, Taylor, Cossette, & Fortin, 2012; Wanamaker, Derkzen, De Moor, & Wardrop, 2018), the current study was conducted to assess the validity of the Descriptive Model of Female Sexual Offending (DMFSO; Gannon, Rose, & Ward, 2008, 2010, 2012) used to classify women sex offenders into one of three typologies. The study also assessed the extent to which women could be classified according to an additional typology proposed by Lutfy and Derkzen (2014)"--Executive Summary, p. iii.
