A PILOT STUDY OF AN ALCOHOL EDUCATION COURSE FOR YOUNG WOMEN OFFENDERS: WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE?

JANE MACMILLAN* and STEVE BALDWIN{dagger}

Received 10 September 1992; first review notified 16 December 1992; accepted 7 January 1993

Although the provision of Alcohol Education Courses (AECs) for male offenders has increased steadily in the last 10 years, treatment interventions for women have continued to be neglected and under-researched. An Alcohol Education Course designed for women offenders was piloted in a prison. This report outlines the content of the course and the rationale for its development. Facilitatory and oppositional factors experienced in conducting work in this setting are discussed. Application of this work is limited to female offenders aged 17–24 with drink-related offending. This pilot study awaits replication in non-institutional settings.
