As stated, for women and girls, drug addiction is often related to trading sex for drugs (Erickson et al., 2000; Inciardi et al., 1991, 1993; Lichtenstein, 1997; Maher, 1997; Maher et al., 1996; Ratner, 1993; Sterk, 1999), but it is also a risk factor for other types of offending, such as burglary and robbery (S. Decker, Wright, Redfern, & Smith, 1993; Kuhns, Blevins, Bolin, & Cambareri, 2017; J. Miller, 1998; Richie, 2006; Sommers & Baskin, 1994). One study found that drug-using women prisoners reported a greater likelihood than their non-drug-using counterparts of engaging in a wide variety of both property and violent crimes, emphasizing the criminalizing aspect of drug addictions for women (Mullings, Pollock, & Crouch, 2002). A study of women using hard drugs with men reported subsequent “drug-related criminal activities, including check fraud and drug sales, but particularly prostitution” (Ryder & Brisgone, 2013, p. 49).
