Often, research concerning the female offender is scarce. This book
adds to the criminological literature on the topic of reentry for
women, focusing on the barriers women face as they return to
society and adjust to life after incarceration. Each chapter
addresses specific issues, challenges, and obstacles affiliated
with the hindrance of successful reentry processes associated with
female offenders, as well as data-driven empirical studies. While
corrections has often misunderstood or overlooked the needs of
returning offenders, the shortcomings of the institutions have a
greater impact on women than on their male counterparts,
particularly regarding the occurrence of social and medical
problems, especially those related to mental health and substance
abuse. Female Offenders and Reentry helps criminal justice students
and practitioners see the full picture when considering the
challenges faced by female offenders reintegrating into society.
