Abstract: This study presents a multiyear empirical examination of gender bias in the handling of juvenile court cases in Hawaii. Based on prior qualitative and quantitative data, it is hypothesized that once female juvenile offenders are found delinquent, they will be sanctioned more severely than male offenders by the juvenile court, holding other factors constant. Results from a series of analyses indicate significant differences between male and female juvenile justice outcomes, particularly for youth of color. Fema… Show more

“…The gender-responsive group has emphasized the need to understand how gender, race, and class intersect to create worldviews that influence girls' relationships with others (MacDonald & Chesney-Lind, 2001). Research on counseling and psychotherapy has demonstrated that a failure to understand and value cultural differences can impede the development of rapport and strong alliances that are needed for effective helping relationships (Sue & Sue, 1999).…”

“…In contrast, boys are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD or other disruptive behavioral disorders (U.S. Public Health Services 1999;Zimmerman 2005). In addition, research suggests that girls are more likely to be referred to health or mental health services while boys are more often referred to the juvenile justice system, especially during adolescence (Kendall and Ness 1999;Lott et al 1999;MacDonald and Chesney-Lind 2001;Maschi et al 2009;Puzzanchera 2009).…”

“…Previous studies are useful for understanding juvenile offending and justice system efforts to control it. Often researched is the relationship between offending behavior and demographic characteristics such as age (Morse, 1997;O'Mahoney, 2000;Steinberg & Cauffman, 1999), gender (Federle, 2000;MacDonald & Chesney, 2001;Mazerolle, Brame, Paternoster, Piquero, & Dean, 2000;Sarri, 1983), and ethnicity (Bishop & Frazier, 1996;Feld, 1999;Kurtz, Giddings, & Sutphen, 1993;Markowitz & Jones-Brown, 2000;Pinderhughes, 1997 (Bazemore & Dicker, 1996;Levitt, 1998;Rossner, 1988), and others (Eddy, Reid, & Fetrow, 2000;Schwartz, Jackson-Beeck, & Anderson, 1984;Terry-McElrath, McBride, Vanderwaal, & Ruel, 2002). Additionally, many theoretical explanations for offending are noted such as environmental, social, and mental health causes (Agnew, Brezina, Wright, & Cullen, 2002;Bazemore, 2001;Gibson, Wright, & Tibbetts, 2000;Lexcen & Redding, 2000;Redding, 2000;Shelton, 2002;Van-Voorhis, Mathers, & Garner, 1988;Wright, Cullen, & Miller, 2001).…”
