  • Title: Forensic psychiatry: female offenders.
    Author: Herjanic M, Henn FA, Vanderpearl RH.
    Journal: Am J Psychiatry; 1977 May; 134(5):556-8. PubMed ID: 557905.
    Abstract:
    The authors examined the records of 127 female and 1,068 male offenders referred by the courts to a forensic service over a 22-year-period. Female offenders were less likely than male offenders to be referred for psychiatric evaluations when they were charged with criminal behavior. They were more likely to be charged with homicide, arson, forgery, or fraud and more frequently received diagnoses of affective disorder and neurosis.
