Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Feminist theorists argue that women who violate the law are often constructed as deviant or abnormal, rather than being seen as individuals who have committed a criminal act. They argue that the criminal justice system treats women differently than men, and that women are often criminalized for behavior that would be considered non-criminal or even celebrated in men.
