• femminst : who agree with crime increase?


  • sex role theory
  • chivary theory
  •  social conformity
• sex role theory ?


  • argues that because boys and girls are socialised differently boys are more likely to become criminal than girls.
  • e.g. traditional role in nuclear family = women are at home domestic work
  • unlike to commit crimes as they socialised as innocence and caring
  • = increased of symmetrical fammiles = lead to women having the same opportunities as men = more equality more likey to commit crime
• chivalry theory ?


  •  when comparing the sentencing of men and women – found men were more likely to be given custodial sentences
  • why = men are socialised to not protect women
  • therefore women would get less punished and rather get probitiation
  • double deviance theory = believe CJS would punished those harshly if there not the traditional women
