Girl follows a
juvenile delinquent in Stockholm in 1976, as she falls into a circle of bad
girls who introduce to her a notorious madam.
Research within clinical populations consistently finds that
girls are more often abused than boys, although research focused on the broader population of community youth has not shown such gender differences in rates of physical maltreatment.72 Female offenders typically are abused before their first offense.73 Among
girls in the California
juvenile justice system, 92 percent report some form of emotional, physical, or sexual abuse.74 Self - reported victimization rates among boys in the
juvenile justice system are considerably lower, though boys may be more likely than
girls to underreport certain forms of abuse.75 Some studies report abuse rates for males between 25 percent and 31 percent, while others report rates of 10 percent for sexual abuse and 47 percent for physical abuse.76 Closer comparison reveals that
delinquent males and females tend to report different types of traumas as well.
