Abstract
Women (66) referred for forensic evaluation were studied and classified into 2 age groups: 48 women 17-39 yr old composed a young adult group and 18 women 40-54 yr old composed a midlife group. The midlife group included a significantly larger number of 1st-time offenders with a higher frequency of medical and psychiatric disorders. None of the women in the midlife group was diagnosed as having antisocial personality disorder, but this was the most common diagnosis among the younger women. The implications of these findings for treatment of older female offenders, especially those in midlife were discussed.
