Discuss the development of feminist theories of crime. When did they develop? Why did they develop? What are the three approaches when considering the theoretical issues of women and crime?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers should address the emergence of feminist theories in the 1970s in
response to the lack of attention paid to women and girls who are involved in the
criminal justice system and the lack of policies, programs, and studies that are
developed and centered around females. The three approaches to studying the
theoretical issues of women and crime are as follows. The first approach is the “add
women and stir model” is favored in traditional criminology treating gender merely as a
control variable in statistically analysis testing male-oriented criminological theories. The
second approach is the “theorizing gender model” in which theories are created in which
women are the focal point of examination. The final approach is intersectionality. The
main concern of this approach is the intersection of “systems of power” that result in
differentiation and inequality . . . including gender.
