Understanding Gender, Crime and Justice

Criminal justice refers to the system of practices and organizations, which are used for maintaining social control, discouraging and controlling crime, and punishing those who break the laws. Gender is considered to be an important factor which affects not only the rate of crime but also the manner in which it is dealt with, in a criminal justice system. The proportion of crime committed by a particular gender has a significant impact on criminological thinking as well as the criminal justice policies. The degree to which this impact is visible in a society varies with time, and has been observed to shift with changes in gender roles.
