Answer to Question 2

Running away
Many young girls bear a heavy load of emotional problems that lead them to run away from home and enter into a delinquent way of life on the streets. Studies of girls who are chronic runaways document significant levels of sexual and physical victimization although their offense behavior may not appear to be very serious, these girls may be fleeing from serious problems and victimization, some involving illegal behavior by adults, which in turn makes them vulnerable to subsequent victimization and engaging in other behaviors that violate the law such as prostitution, survival sex, and drug use.

Family Breakdown
Some girls suffer family breakdown, a condition that long-term consequences. Some are placed outside the home early in childhood, and institutionalizatio n does little to help matters. Those sent away are much more likely to develop criminal records as adults than similarly troubled girls who manage to stay with their families throughout their childhood.

Trauma, Victimization and Delinquent Paths.
The prevailing research then shows that young girls are more likely to be the target of victimization and abuse than any other group. Recently, Kristin Carbone-Lopez and Jody Miller found that early victimizationinclud ing sexual abuse may help produce a precocious maturity that facilitates a young women's path into drug use and offending.
