Gender, Crime, and Punishment

By Kathleen Daly

Book Overview

In this book Kathleen Daly explores whether men and women who are convicted of similar crimes are punished differently. Analyzing cases of homicide, aggravated assault, robbery, larceny, and drug offfenses, she challenges the common assumption that women are treated more leniently than men and shows that in fact gender disparaties in sentencing are negligible and are not always advantageous to women.
