TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Sex trading among hazardously drinking jailed women JO - Women and criminal justice A1 - Schonbrun, Yael Chatav A1 - Johnson, Jennifer A1 - Anderson, Bradley J. A1 - Stein, Michael D. SP - 165 EP - 179 VL - 26 IS - 3 N2 - For women involved in sex trading, both alcohol problems and passage through the criminal justice system are highly prevalent. This study is the first to conduct a focused examination of factors associated with sex trading among hazardously drinking, pretrial, jailed women. Cocaine use, social support for alcohol abstinence, and more days incarcerated in the 90 days leading up to the index incarceration were significantly associated with sex trading involvement among alcoholic women. Helping incarcerated alcoholic women reduce cocaine use and improve sober support networks during and following an incarceration may minimize sex trading after release.
