Discuss the development of interest in female delinquency. Explain your view. As you read through the chapter, did you find that there is a need for a separate interest in female delinquency, that a specific interest in female delinquency will assist in the overall reduction of juvenile delinquency, etc.?
What will be an ideal response?
• Contemporary interest in the association between gender and delinquency has surged, fueled by observations of the struggles young women now face and the fact that they are committing more frequent and serious delinquent acts.
• Although females still commit fewer delinquent acts than males, the types of delinquent acts that young women engage in today also seem quite similar to those of young men.
• Larceny and aggravated assault, the crimes for which most young men are arrested, are also the most common offenses for which females are arrested. There is evidence that girls today get more heavily involved in gangs and gang violence.
• Student views will vary.
