Offenders convicted of these crimes can be subjected to sexual offender\u2013specific social control policies such as registration, as well as be included in sexual offender research such as recidivism studies. No studies, however, have systematically examined differences and similarities between this new class of sexual offenders and more traditional sexual offenders. The current study used a sample of 94 women convicted of sexual offenses to investigate whether women convicted of promoting prostitution of a minor differed on demographic and criminogenic features from those convicted of more traditional sexual offenses. Results show that women convicted of promoting prostitution offenses have criminal histories more consistent with general criminality and exhibit more general antisocial features than women convicted of traditional sexual offenses. These results support the notion that the inclusion of legally defined sexual offenders with traditional ones obscures important differences in criminogenic features among these women.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1079063214554959","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,21]],"date-time":"2014-10-21T23:45:24Z","timestamp":1413935124000},"page":"324-334","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Women Convicted of Promoting Prostitution of a Minor Are Different From Women Convicted of Traditional Sexual Offenses"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Franca","family":"Cortoni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, Quebec, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey C.","family":"Sandler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New York State Office of Mental Health, Albany, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naomi J.","family":"Freeman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New York State Office of Mental Health, Albany, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1079063214554959","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4135\/9781483387567"},{"key":"bibr2-1079063214554959","first-page":"319","author":"Cortoni F.","year":"2009","journal-title":"Revue internationale de criminologie et de police technique et scientifique, LXII"},{"key":"bibr3-1079063214554959","volume-title":"2012 uniform crime reports","author":"Federal Bureau of Investigation","year":"2013"},{"key":"bibr4-1079063214554959","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0887403409338565"},{"key":"bibr5-1079063214554959","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1079063208322495"},{"key":"bibr6-1079063214554959","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1079063213486835"},{"key":"bibr7-1079063214554959","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-006X.73.6.1154"},{"key":"bibr8-1079063214554959","unstructured":"Harris A.
