Publisher's Synopsis

This important book offers the first large-scale study of serious delinquent girls over time. More than 100 young women and a comparison group of 100 seriously delinquent boys were interviewed and then re-interviewed 15 years later allowing the authors to find some distinct differences in criminal behavior between men and women.
