responses displayed considerable variation. The deans tended to express positive opinions that the use of both full-time and part-time NTTF led to positive outcomes. The deans also thought that NTTF should, ideally, constitute 27 percent of the faculty in order to meet the needs of their institutions, even though the NTTF actually were 45 percent of the faculty employed at their institutions. Hierarchical regression analysis demonstrated that both economic and expansion pressures, positive values toward the use of NTTF, and having more time for a hiring decision were positively associated with the increase in the proportion of NTTF. Pressures from the external environment had the strongest effect on the decision to recruit more NTTF, especially at public institutions.

Although the number of girls served by the juvenile justice system has grown dramatically, little is known about the adult offending patterns of delinquent girls and the factors associated with their persistence and desistance from adult crime. To address this gap, we prospectively track 499 girls (62% Black, 16% Hispanic) discharged from juvenile justice facilities in the early 1990s and document their adult arrests, convictions, and incarcerations between the ages of 16-28. Trajectory analysis reveals four distinct early adult offending paths: Rare/Non-Offending (RN), Low Chronic (LC), Low-Rising (LR), and High Chronic (HC). Girls assigned to the LR and LC path are responsible for a disproportionate amount of adult arrests and are more likely than girls on the RN and LC path to come from homes characterized by high levels of family dysfunction and child maltreatment. Adoption of a therapeutic, trauma-sensitive and family-centered approach to female delinquency programming is recommended.
