The authors answer this question using data for federal prisoners by comparing female & male prison violence rates & by comparing the predictive validity of a risk classification instrument used to predict female & male violence. The authors find women commit less violence & less serious violence than men. However, despite these gender differences, they find the same classification instrument predicts violent behavior equally well for women & men. Taken together, these results lead the authors to argue for correctional policies requiring separate classification systems for women & men. 7 Tables, 2 Figures, 39 References.
