How does Meda Chesney-Lind explain her research, which shows that a higher percentage of females were institutionalized for similar delinquent acts than males?
A) Females are more sexual and often seduced the males into performing acts, so their actions were seen as instigations.
B) Because female adolescents have a much narrower range of acceptable behaviour, any sign of misbehaviour is seen as potentially devastating.
C) Males are expected to want sex, but females should always be passive; when they are not, they deserve to be punished.
D) Since they are not punished as often as males for other crimes, this was one area where the law could "prove its point" that illegal behaviour for females was just as intolerable as it was for males.
