The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship
between the recidivism of adult female offenders and economic
marginalization. Initially, the study proposed to explore why some
female offenders continue to commit crime; for example, the
literature supports the concept that women reoffend to support
themselves and their children. The study seeks to understand if
female offenders continue to commit crime because they suffer from
economic marginalization. Data collection included qualitative
in-depth personal interviews of 20 female offenders at the North
Carolina Correctional Institution for Women in Raleigh, North
Carolina. Applying a qualitative grounded theory methodology, a
theory emerged explaining the impact of economic marginalization
upon adult female recidivism. Traditionally, research of
recidivists primarily focuses on male offenders and male
rehabilitation programs; therefore, this study will make a needed
contribution to the gap in the literature related to female
recidivists.
