Abstract

This research project explores the Risk/Need intake scores, recidivism, and completion rates for men and women probationers assigned to a seriously mental ill (SMI) caseload in the fourth largest county in the United States. The project will consider gender as a primary predictor of admission onto a SMI caseload as well as successful completion of SMI probation. Bivariate and multivariate statistical analyses will reveal the role that gender plays as a predictor variable for 5,000 individuals who were on the caseload between the years of 2009 and 2013 in Maricopa County (Phoenix metro region). Policy considerations for offenders with mental illness on specialty probation caseloads and gendered concerns regarding specialty probation will be discussed.
