Abstract

Žene čine mali dio zatvoreničke populacije diljem svijeta. To se navodi kao legitiman razlog radi
kojeg se tretman žena dugo vremena temeljio na spoznajama dobivenim kroz istraživanja s
muškom zatvoreničkom populacijom. Navedeno je rezultiralo intervencijama krojenim po
principu „jedna mjera za sve“. Istraživanja potvrđuju da se počiniteljice značajno razlikuju od
muških počinitelja u pogledu osobne povijesti i puteva ulaska u kriminalitet.
Priznanje da „spol čini razliku“ bio je prvi korak prema učinkovitijem odgovoru na njihove
jedinstvene, rodno specifične potrebe.
Postoje mnogi principi učinkovite rehabilitacije počinitelja, ali su programi rehabilitacije
prijestupnika, utemeljeni na široko prihvaćenom Modelu kriminogenih rizika i potreba (eng.
Risk-Need-Responsivity Model, RNR), pokazali najbolje rezultate. Stoga se ovaj rad temelji na
prikazu specifičnosti tretmana žena kroz prizmu RNR pristupa procjeni i tretmanu počiniteljica.
Integrativna perspektiva tretmana ženskih počiniteljica korištena je kao orijentir te čini okosnicu
ovog rada. Bit će prikazani i rezultati drugih relevantnih istraživanja koja su svom fokusu imala
žene.
S obzirom na nedjeljivost teorije i prakse, u radu je prikazana specifičnost tretmana žena kroz
problematiku vezanu uz teoriju, procjenu i elemente učinkovitog odgovora na tretman.
Specifičnost tretmana žena u penalnom sustavu ogleda se u potrebi za integriranim holističkim
pristupom. Stoga i ovaj rad nudi sveobuhvatnu perspektivu ovog problema. Povećana
senzibilnost za specifiĉne potrebe žena potrebna je za kreiranje učinkovitih održivih programa.
Prema tome, procjena i tretman ženskih požiniteljica moraju biti osjetljivi na važne čimbenike
njihova života (primjerice iskustva traume, probleme mentalnog zdravlja, zlouporabu sredstava
ovisnosti) i iskoristiti njihove snage kako bi pomogli ženama da se rehabilitiraju i odustanu od
kriminala.

Abstract (english)

Women offenders represent a small minority in correctional systems worldwide. This is stated as a
legitimate reason why the treatment of women has long been based on knowledge gained
through research with the male offenders population. The result were interventions based on
principle “one-size-fits-all”. Research confirms that women offenders differ significantly from
their male counterparts in terms of their personal histories and their pathways to crime. The
acknowledgement that „gender makes a difference“ was the foremost step to respond
appropriately to their unique, „gender specific“ needs.
There are many principles of effective rehabilitation for offenders, but programs based on the
widely accepted Risk-Need-Responsivity model of rehabilitation (RNR) have shown the best
results. Therefore, this work will present the specifics of women's treatment through the prism of
the RNR approach to the assessment and treatment of women offenders. An integrative
perspective of women offenders treatment is used as a landmark text, which forms the backbone
of this work. Additionally, the results of other relevant research that focused on women will be
presented.
Given the indivisibility of theory and practice, this work presents the specificity of women's
treatment through issues related to theory, assessment and elements of effective response to
treatment. The specificity of women's treatment in penal system is reflected in the need for an
integrated holistic approach. Therefore this work offers a comprehensive perspective on this
issue. Increased sensitivity to specific women's needs is necessary in order to design effective
programs over the long term. According to that, the assessment and treatment of women
offenders should attend to important contextual factors of their lives (e.g., experiences of trauma,
mental health problems, substance abuse) and leverage women‟s strengths to promote healing
and desistence from crime
