Male Offenders Vs Female Offenders

The findings on the website show how female offenders have been perceived as less violent offender compared to males (NCJRS). Although, in the past females were perceived to commit minor offenses, but there has been a rise in females committing violent offense (NCJRS). There has also been a rise in the percentage of female offender overall, which younger girls represent a larger proportion of juvenile arrest (NCJRS). The reason for this could be many younger girls are experiencing trauma, abuse, violence, and poverty issues at home. For example, if a younger female leaves in a home and all she sees is her mother and father fight, which could lead her to think that it’s okay. She also gets beaten by her father and her mother never say anything so she might think it’s a way of life. This cause for whenever this younger female gets into a confrontation at school, she automatically leads to violence. The reason why is that’s all she seen growing up. The victimization that the female offender go through cause them to have different needs compared to male offenders. The findings on NCJRS states how due to the different victimization females go through they are more likely to be addicted to drugs and have mental

In order to answer the research question it is necessary to survey women offenders who are in one type of program or the other. That can help to determine their thoughts about the issue and encourage further research that will allow women offenders to get into the right kind of program that will benefit them properly and allow them to have success in the future. These women will be surveyed at their place of incarceration within the next month, and this will be done through

Whenever people go to the movies or read a book, they long for an interesting story to be entertained by. Whether it is action filled or suspenseful, they want a stimulating plot that makes them feel good. In 1952, Carl Foreman wrote the screenplay for a movie called High Noon; a classic tale of when the hunter becomes the hunted. Then in 1924, Richard Connell wrote another classic, called "The Most Dangerous Game". Although both stories demonstrate similar examples of the setting and conflict, the main characters react very differently to the unusual situations they find themselves stuck in.

As the article mentions it seems that women who are incarcerated are more likely than men to have neurological, biological or psychological abnormalities (Schwartz J. et al., Pg 16). This means that women who are committing similar offenses as men tend to be at a greater risk of suffering from some sort of mental illness. Another important point in the article that was mention is that many women who become addicted to illegal substance tend to be at a higher risk of committing burglary, and theft in order to continue to gather money for drugs.

According to the American Medical Association (1996), physician-assisted suicide (PAS) occurs when a physician facilitates a patient’s death by providing either the means or the information necessary to aid in the patient performing the life-ending act. PAS has had a long and controversial history dating back to the ancient Greeks and Romans. They believed that there was no reason to prolong life if continued pain and suffering was the only prognosis. The term euthanasia, in fact, stems from the Greek meaning "a good death". It was not until Hippocrates and his Hippocratic Oath, cautioning against deadly medicine towards patients, that a different view was seen.

Male and female offenders alike are incarcerated every day for various reasons. Some commit violent crimes while others are arrested for drug use or public-order offenses. The difference between the two are the rates at which they are incarcerated, the length or harshness of their sentences, for the same or similar crimes committed, patterns of drug use, and previous correctional history. While men still lead in violent crime rates, 54.3 percent male verse 36.6 percent female, women are more likely than men to serve sentences due to drug-related offenses and other nonviolent property crimes (American Corrections, 2016).

After visiting www.womenandprison.org a website created by incarcerated women, I learn the ins and outs of what are some of the leading factors for women and prisons now. Most of the women interviewed have a brutal past with drug addiction, prostitution or abuse. These are the main reasons women today still are being incarcerated. However gender experience in prison expressed by women is very painful. Unlike men women suffer from the state of mind where they are home sick. Those who tend to have made families back home it begins to be tougher for women to be separate from her child. Also it is said to be all mind games a lot of women loose a sense of social control where they are no longer accepting to the reasoning which has brought them to

The population for this three-year study are adult male and female felony level offenders. My sample frame are all adult male and female felony level offenders being released from Ohio prisons to transitional living. My sample will be 100 male and female felony level offenders being released from a prison during the periods of January 1st, 2017-July 31st 2017 that complete a survey at every check in totaling 600 offenders in all (300 male and 300 female offenders).

Joby Gardner, in an April 2010 study of incarcerated young men published in Youth and Society, stated that working – class Brown and Black young men face very difficult transitions, as they are overrepresented in the justice system, in poverty statistics, in foster care, special education; and, among victims of violence . In spite of the scarcity of documented research or other information concerning mothers of incarcerated children, perhaps the design for a plan of support for mothers should draw on information and research presented in examining the challenges mothers and children experience from the incarceration of mothers or fathers. Any design to support and meet the needs of a mother who is experiencing the incarceration of a child should definitely seek to meet the needs of not only the mother, but also the incarcerated child as well as the other siblings; and, the father if he is present.

In my research, I read an academic journal, articles and watched two documentaries that support my claim. Which is that women go through many obstacles like mental health, sexual harassment, and inequality in and out of prison. In the Documentary 20/20 “A Nation of Women Behind Bars,” by Diane Sawyer. She visits four prisons and interviews women on the crimes they committed and if they changed in the time they were incarcerated. Nicole Koester is from Maryland Correctional Institution for Women in Jessup. She is married

Recidivism rates are much higher in men than in women. Seventy-eight percent of men are rearrested for the same crime or a different one within five years of their first offense. The rates for women are much lower, ten percent lower as a matter of fact. This means that only sixty-eight percent of women are rearrested within five years. This is because women have less violent tendencies than men. Women are also better at expressing themselves than men. When women get angry they usually cry or find some

It has already been established that the prison population for female offenders is growing, but the complexity of the population is changing as well. Special populations make up the group of female offenders, specifically including middle-aged inmates, physically ill inmates, and of course mentally ill inmates (Lewis, 200). The pathology of these women vary, many struggle or previously struggled with substance abuse, psychosis,

The number of women incarcerated is growing at a rapid pace. This calls for a reevaluation of our correction institutions to deal with women’s involvement in crime. Increasing numbers of arrests for property crime and public order offenses are outpacing that of men. The “War on Drugs” has a big influence on why our prisons have become overcrowded in the last 25 years. Women are impacted more than ever because they are being convicted equally for drug and other offenses. Female criminal behavior has always been identified as minor compared to Male’s criminal behavior. Over the years women have made up only small part of the offender populations. There is still only a small

In viewing the information contained in the aforementioned articles, one can immediately understand the underlying reasons that women are committing more crimes than men. Through the mid-1990s, the arrest rates of both genders has increased steadily, with the male rate far exceeding that of females (Gross, 2009, pp. 84). However, in recent years, a shift has been seen, with the numbers of female offenders rising significantly, especially at the juvenile level, which significantly raises the likelihood of re-offending later in life. As such, an understanding of the differences between the sexes in terms of the reasoning behind their offenses has long been researched.

Conflict is a key them in countless stories, but the way it is used in Macbeth is particularly striking. There are three main conflicts in Macbeth, that both act as catalysts for plot, but also demonstrate ideas of value as Macbeth is performed is performed to an audience. First, Macbeth struggles against his ambition and greed for power when faced with the killing the king to take the position for himself, then he fights a losing battle against his own demons. Lastly, the final battle between dark and light as Macduff takes matters into his own hands and kills Macbeth.
