Abstract:

This study examines a population of 136 juvenile males and females charged with attempted homicide or homicide. The purpose of this study is to explore the differences between non-direct file male and female juvenile homicide offenders regarding individual, family and crime circumstances. Findings suggest that compared to male juvenile offenders, female juvenile homicide offenders have more serious substance abuse and mental health problems including suicidal ideations, depression, anxiety, anger, and irritability. Male juvenile homicide offenders reported higher rates of substance use than their female counterparts but the females had more serious substance abuse problems. Females were found to have a higher rate of reported childhood abuse and neglect than males. Male homicide offenders were found to more often kill strangers, use firearms and have multiple victims than female homicide offenders. These findings suggest strongly that male and female juvenile homicide offenders are dissimilar enough to require unique assessment and treatment.
