Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Female offenders are one of the fastest growing segments in the juvenile justice system, and likewise, have become a focal issue for researchers and policy makers alike. Although the majority of juvenile arrestees has always been male, the proportion of females has been increasing. In 1975, girls represented 15% of juvenile arrests. In 1990, they represented 19% and fifteen years later, they were nearly a third. Additionally, juvenile court and custody data show a similar trend. Girls comprise over one quarter of all delinquency cases, up 92% since 1985. By the turn of the century, girls constituted nearly one-fifth of detention populations. Through an examination of 271 case files of juvenile probationers, this study explores social predictors of detention, as it examines gender differences in offense histories as well as family, abuse, drug use, academic, and mental health backgrounds. Overall, it investigates three primary questions: 1) What risk factors differentiate female juvenile probationers who have never been to detention from girls who have had at least one detention home stay? 2) Similarly, what risk factors separate the boys? 3) And lastly, what gender differences exist in the profile of the juvenile detainee? The paper concludes with case file stories that illustrate the major findings.
