Power-Control Theory Proposes That

Power-control theory proposes that:

A) the subjugation of women by men produces "learned helplessness" among women that results in aggression turned inward (mental illness, depression) rather than acting-out behavior
B) patriarchal family structures produce large gender differences in delinquent behavior
C) the subjugation of others through "power" is far less effective in preventing deviance than is the "control" of others through legitimate authority
D) the criminality of women and of men both can be understood as a result of their powerlessness
E) sexual, physical, and emotional abuse of young girls leads them to run away from home and engage in crime in order to survive on the streets
