The National Suicide Research Foundation (2004) recorded that 22.2% of the cases of self-harm that occurred in Irish prisons in 2002 involved females, even though women comprised only 3.1% of the total prison population. This article examines international research and trends to consider why self-harm is so prevalent amongst female prisoners, how self-harm can be prevented and what the best response is to those who self-harm.

The LSI-R is the primary risk/needs assessment instrument used by the Irish Probation Service in assessment. 231 Probation Service clients (131 male and 100 female) were included in this study for comparison purposes. Results showed that male offenders had higher levels of criminogenic needs in the areas of criminal history and substance abuse than females; the latter demonstrated higher levels of need in the areas of accommodation, emotional/personal and family/marital. Implications for effective treatment for female offenders are discussed.

consumed alcohol before offending differed from aggressive offenders who had not
consumed alcohol prior to their index offence or non-aggressive control offenders on
measures of aggression, criminal cognitions, mating effort and personality. We
examined whether alcohol-related aggressive offenders could be postdicted by
individual difference measures. All 72 participants were on probation and completed
the Buss–Perry Aggression Questionnaire; the Psychological Inventory of Criminal
Thinking Styles; the Alcohol-Related Aggression Questionnaire; the NEO–Five Factor
Inventory–Revised; and the Mating Effort Scale. The study found alcohol-related
aggression expectancies predicted by low agreeableness and high neuroticism.
Aggressive offenders who had consumed alcohol prior to their index offence were
more likely to have higher levels of alcohol-related aggressive expectancies, aggression,
callousness, and lower levels of neuroticism and thoughtfulness than non-aggressive
offenders.
