Abstract
Relationship between gender-role identity and criminal activities for 141 incarcerated adult female offenders was examined. Inmates were classified into three gender-role groups: masculine, feminine, and androgynous. Those with either masculine or feminine gender-role identities were more apt to be serving time for violent offenses such as murder than were the androgynous women. Relatively few feminine offenders serving time for murder had previously been convicted of a felony while the majority of the masculine offenders had. Differences were found in the number of prior felony convictions for the gender-role groups.
