Document Summary
Sociologies of punishment: in the case of women in. there is a direct line of feminist input. Because of this, we have a process which we have. There are various phases of feminist input: each time one occurs, sometime later, subsequent feminists are critical of it. Often, critical because they feel despite the effort, actually what was happening was reproducing patriarchal ideas. Each generation looks at results of previous input. Start by saying: there are people who dispute the following. Women commit far less crim then men. Make up small percentage of prison pop. Nearly 50% of men in western society have criminal record: only 15% for female, this also true in self-report studies. Not only committing less crimes, but those who do commit, commit less crimes, and less violent in nature (their violence are against family members) its important to recognize women do commit a lot of crime.
