Description

Female Offender Research Today, it is not surprising that the literature reported reflects the ongoing need to fully understand the criminal mind, personality dynamics and behavior, as well as how to rehabilitate this individual. This statement is especially true for male offenders. Yet with the recent emergence of the female criminal within the past three decades, a paucity of research has been done and reported on this group in the Criminal Justice System and with the correctional department in particular. A variety of reasons ranging fro sexism to racism have been offered to explain this shortage. French (1978) contends that men suffer from a self-deception concerning women, an attitude which is internalized during the socialization process and is employed to rationalize the subordinate roles females are assigned in our social order; hence, males are hesitant to credit females with such "masculine" action such as crime. Another explanation indicates that female criminality was really Black criminality (Sarri, 1986). Still others suggest that because women have had unequal economic and political status, they have therefore had unequal access to both services and research (Rasche, 1975). The most compelling reason noted is that the preponderance of male criminologists who rail to consider women's criminality as worth serious study (Johnson, 2002; French, 1980; Silverman, 1982). Consequently, this group of offenders and their problems are relegated to secondary and tertiary status within the United States' Criminal Justice System.
