Groups of female criminals were studied by drawing samples of prostitutes and property offenders and then further stratifying them according to race (white versus black) and juvenile economic status (low versus middle class). The eight groups were then compared on six juvenile variables: bonding/ integration, criminal activities, criminal labelling, sexual labelling, and ages of first departure from home and first criminal activity. While prostitutes were significantly more deviant than property offenders on five of these six variables, fewer differences occurred for race and economic status.
