What will be an ideal response?


Liberal feminists believe that the problem for girls and women involved in crime lies more with the social structure around them (e.g., poverty and lack of sufficient schooling or training, along with patriarchal beliefs), and that the solution lies in preparing them for an alternate existence so that they do not turn to crime. There were those moralists, who were sometimes social feminists, who believed that women and girls involved in the criminal justice system were in effect morally impaired and therefore in need of religious and social remedies. Women were crudely classified by these moralists as either “good,” and thus acting in conformance with societal expectations for their gender role (labeled the madonna), or as “bad” and thus acting in opposition to their expected gender role (labeled the whore).
