Compare and contrast masculinization hypothesis and emancipation hypothesis.

Both looked at the effects of the women’s liberation movement. Both hypotheses accepted the traditional sociological notion that gender differences are mostly products of differential socialization, namely, men are socialized to be assertive, ambitious, and dominant, and women are socialized to be nurturing, passive, and home and family oriented. In Adler’s view, as females increasingly adopt “male” roles, they will increasingly masculinize their attitudes and behavior and will thus become as crime-prone as men. Simon’s view was that increased participation in the workforce affords women greater opportunities to commit job-related crime and that there was no reason for them to first undergo Adler’s masculinization. Neither hypothesis proved useful in explaining the gender crime ratio.
