“…In addition to Daly’s (1994) work, our findings are for the most part consistent with feminist pathways studies conducted with female-only samples in non-Western settings. Troubled lives, familial economic provisioning, offending against the backdrop of romantic relationships, comparatively unjust, and/or corrupt criminal justice processes, including a lack of competent legal representation in court, are all highlighted as drivers of women’s imprisonment including within Thailand (Artz et al, 2012; Berko et al, 2010; Cherukuri et al, 2009; Havanon, Jeradechakul, Wathanotai, Paungsawad, et al, 2012; Havanon, Jeradechakul, Wathanotai, Ratanarojsakul, et al, 2012; Khalid & Khan, 2013; Kim et al, 2007; Maghsoudi et al, 2017; Shechory et al, 2011; Shen, 2015).…”

“…In non-Western contexts, gender-comparative pathways research has never been conducted. However, there are a growing number of studies on women’s pathways to prison (Artz, Hoffman-Wanderer, & Moult, 2012; Berko, Erez, & Globokar, 2010; Cherukuri, Britton, & Subramaniam, 2009; Havanon, Jeradechakul, Wathanotai, Paungsawad, et al, 2012; Havanon, Jeradechakul, Wathanotai, Ratanarojsakul, et al, 2012; Khalid & Khan, 2013; Kim, Gerber, & Kim, 2007; Maghsoudi et al, 2017; Shechory, Perry, & Addad, 2011; Shen, 2015). As in the Western literature, histories of victimization, women’s relationships with men, economic marginalization, and familial economic provisioning present as crucial pathways to women’s imprisonment.…”

In criminology, there is a growing body of research exploring pathways into prison. However, few researchers have concerned themselves with qualitative gender-comparative studies of women's and men's journeys to offending and criminalization. Further, little is known about trajectories into non-Western prison systems. In this article, life course and feminist pathways perspectives are drawn on to describe, examine, and compare women's and men's pathways to prison for drug offending in Thailand. Overall, findings point to both similarities and divergences in experiences by gender. Four common themes or pathways to prison emerged for both women and men: (1) adverse childhood experiences, (2) peer-group association, (3) economic motivation, and (4) male deception and exploitation. However, gendered variance was found within these common pathways.

“…This claim has been supported by other researchers (Guest et al, 2006; Marshall et al, 2013). A research review of recent qualitative studies conducted in prisons shows that, in numerous studies, the number of participants is less than 30 (e.g., Duarte & de Carvalho, 2017; Hau & Azad, 2020; Maghsoudi et al, 2018).…”

Women Decision-Making and Responsibility-Taking of Criminal Lifestyle: The Israeli Case

This study aims to investigate patterns of decision-making and responsibility-taking as opposed to the compulsion process selection of a criminal lifestyle among women in prison. A life story approach and semi-structured interviews sampling 30 Israeli women in prison during their first imprisonment were used. Using a mixed-method, results revealed that most of the participants claimed full or partial self-responsibility for having engaged in a criminal lifestyle or for the offense of which they had been convicted. This figure was consistent when the participants were divided by age of first offense or a history of abuse. The results support the need for an integrated approach explaining women’s criminal paths, including gender-specific as well as gender-neutral factors. The conclusion is that responsibility-taking for a criminal act should be one of the factors in intervention programs for women with delinquent behavior, regardless of whether there is a history of victimization or not.

“…With respect to gender discrimination, previous studies have assumed that when it includes social structures that limit young women’s opportunities, it may increase the likelihood of antisocial and delinquent behaviors (Javdani et al, 2011). For example, in a qualitative study among 23 incarcerated Iranian women, Maghsoudi et al (2018) found that patriarchy played a significant role in explaining deviant behavior (see also Alarid & Cromwell, 2006; Belknap & Holsinger, 2006; Burgess-Proctor, 2006; Chesney-Lind, 2006; Erez & Berko, 2010). Similar results were reported in a study based on in-depth interviews with 10 Palestinian Arab women incarcerated in Israel (Erez & Berko, 2010).…”

This study examined the mediating role of affiliation with delinquent peers (ADP) and the moderating role of closeness to parents in the relationship between impulsivity and perpetration of indirect aggression. Arab female adolescents in Israel (aged 12-21; N = 404) completed a self-report questionnaire. The mediation-moderation model was examined after controlling for intersectional factors related to the females' unique social locations in Arab society. The study found that 66.1% of the girls had perpetrated at least one indirect act of aggression at least once during the past month. Moreover, most reported agreement with at least one item that examined their closeness to their father and mother (75.7% and 77%, respectively). The results also showed that the direct effect of impulsivity on perpetration of indirect aggression against others became significant after including the mediation factor (ADP). Finally, for high closeness to parents, the association between impulsivity and ADP was positive and significant, whereas it was insignificant for medium and low closeness. The findings highlight the importance of operationalized as parent-closeness to parents, child communication skills, boundary setting, and monitoring, which may decrease the tendency of adolescents to perpetrate aggression. Public Policy Relevance StatementThe present study advances the idea that perpetration of indirect aggression among female adolescents and young women might be addressed most effectively by intervention programs informed by family intervention and parent-child communication. These findings are helpful for practitioners working with girls who perpetrate violence. They should be aware that it would be difficult to change their behavior unless peer affiliation and parentchild skill communication are addressed.
