The study provides empirical data for two consecutive cohorts of women admitted to one medium secure hospital over the course of thirty years. Women admitted to single-sex services had more criminological and adverse trauma histories than women admitted to the earlier mixed-sex service. Further research is required to establish the long-term outcomes of women admitted to specialised single-sex medium secure care
