Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gender entrapment theory was developed to understand the unique experiences of African American battered women who are arrested for committing crimes. The theory recognizes the multiple oppressions faced by these women, including racism, sexism, and economic disadvantage, which create a cycle of violence and entrapment that leads them to commit crimes as a form of survival. Life course theory and cycle of violent theory are both broader theories that do not specifically focus on the experiences of African American battered women. Women's liberation/hypothesis theory is a different theory that focuses on the feminist movement and the ways in which women's liberation can change society.
