Abstract
ABSTRACT Using data from the Probation/Parole Officer Interactions with Women Offenders Project (N = 402), we explored how trauma exposure and perceptions of neighborhood crime intersect to impact substance use among women under community supervision (i.e. probation, parole). Perceptions of neighborhood crime were found to significantly moderate the relationship between lifetime sexual abuse and substance use, suggesting that the impact of lifetime sexual abuse on substance use intensifies when community-supervised women perceive their neighborhoods as unsafe. However, no significant interaction was observed between neighborhood crime and child physical/emotional abuse or adult physical abuse. Implications for research, practice, and policy are discussed.
