ABSTRACT Female juveniles with sexual offences (FJSOs) are an understudied population. The current study compares FJSOs with their male counterparts and evaluates whether male and female juveniles with sexual offences from different family types have similar charges and court outcomes. Data were obtained from a statewide court dataset in Alabama from 2004 to 2014 (n = 205 females, 2816 males). Participants were categorised by offence category, family type, and court outcome. Chi-square tests and hierarchical logistic regressions were conducted to test for differences in offence patterns and court outcomes by gender and family type, respectively. Females committed less severe offences and received less severe punishments for a given offence compared with males. Family type and two-way interactions between family type, gender, and offence severity played limited roles in offence patterns and in court sentencing. Disposition patterns in females point towards the feasibility of providing more services for all juveniles with sexual offences.

有性犯罪的女性少年的法庭结果

摘要遭受性犯罪的女性青少年（FJSO）是一个被忽视的人群。当前的研究将FJSO与他们的男性同龄人进行比较，并评估了来自不同家庭类型的性犯罪的男女少年是否有相似的指控和法庭结果。数据从2004年至2014年在阿拉巴马州的州级法院数据集中获得（n = 205名女性，2816名男性）。参与者按犯罪类别，家庭类型和法院结果进行分类。进行卡方检验和分层逻辑回归分析，以分别测试性别和家庭类型在犯罪模式和法院结果上的差异。与男性相比，女性犯下的罪行更少，对特定罪行所受的惩罚也更少。家庭类型以及家庭类型，性别，犯罪严重程度在犯罪模式和法院判决中的作用有限。女性的处事方式表明向所有有性犯罪的少年提供更多服务的可行性。
