I am just looking at your question asking 'why women commit crime'...This would vary depending on the type of crime: Kill, sexually assault, petty theft, criminal damage, fraud etc  The explanations are so interesting!!

Hi ladies, I am new to this forum & hope you are all well. However, the topic of female offenders is of great interest to me esp when considering domestic abuse (not just the physical aspect).  I have just started to explore the concept of social history re gender expectations and social norms.  I do however agree that the criminal justice system is blind to gender which can have a positive or negative impact on the outcome....What are your thoughts regarding IPV manipulation / coercion within a relationship/ex...have you come across this perhaps with female friends or female family members  :-) ?

I don't know how far your boarders lie with how broad you're going with your topic but maybe consider how women are treated differently in court and how they face double jeopardy

I think with female offenders there are a wider variety of mitigating factors that need to be taken into account for when they are found guilty of committing crime. Its proven that women commit less violent crime than men and are very likely to be caught shop lifting, whether it be to feed a habit or their children. Women are more likely to do the wrong thing for the right reason.
