CJ 5920 - Gender and Crime (3) This course focuses on exploring the relationship between gender and crime through four main components: (1) females and offending, (2) females and victimization/survivorship, (3) responses to both, and (4) females as criminal justice practitioners. This course will provide explanations for why women are less likely to commit crimes than their male counterparts, explore motivations for when they do engage in criminal activity, discuss why they are victimized at higher rates for certain offenses, and debate how effective the criminal justice system and other programming has been at addressing both gender-specific offending and victimization. The class will finish with a look at the unique challenges to women as practitioners in the criminal justice system. This course is co-listed with CJ 4920.
