Results of the study showed that poor parenta rearing, i iteracy, street begging and hawking were some of the factors promoting aberrant behaviour among females while age and height are not the promoting factors of aberrant behaviour among females and that religion has significant influence on aberrant behaviour among female inmates in the study area.
