However, given recent trends, a fresh focus is being placed on female offenders. To reduce women’s re-offending, Corrections is seeking to ensure that women have equitable access to services and interventions to meet their offending needs, and that women’s management is trauma informed, relational and empowering (Bevan & Wehipeihana, 2015). Key to our approach is effective responses to women’s mental health issues, substance dependence and experiences of trauma. All of these are likely to be intertwined for women; substance dependence and mental health challenges are often linked to historic trauma. (From the article).
