Description
This course is about a relatively small portion of the criminals in America, the woman criminal. While women constitute about six percent of our prison population, the differences in their criminality and how we treat it as a society proves to be well worth studying. As we study the female criminal, we learn important factors that help us understand male criminals and criminals from minority groups within our society. When we discover how women "learn" to be criminals, we will also learn how the different learning process involved with males in our society affects them. Since women have been subject to many of the some restrictions that ethnic minorities face in our society, the study of the female criminal should help us understand minority criminality.
