Chesney-Lind Reports That Girls Are More Likely Than Boys to Be

Chesney-Lind reports that girls are more likely than boys to be referred to juvenile court and incarcerated for running away from home. Choose one of the following interpretations, and show how it does or does not fit into her feminist perspective.
A. Girls are more likely than boys to run away from home because parents exert greater controls over daughters than sons, illustrating the subjugation of females in a patriarchal society.
B. Adolescent girls are motivated to run away from home to achieve the same level of independence as their male counterparts.
C. This finding provides another demonstration of how male-dominated society maintains control over women. Girls who run away from home have departed from traditional sex role expectations. Consequently, they are punished more harshly than boys who engage in the same behavior.
D. This finding reflects paternalistic attitudes toward females. The justice system steps in to "protect defenseless females" in situations in which their male counterparts are not perceived to need protection.
E. Police, court, and corrections officials all tend to be male in a justice system in a patriarchal society that is biased against females. They overreact to deviance among females because they do not understand the nature of the female experience. Thus, females receive harsher treatment than males receive for all varieties of illegal behavior.
