I
think that the main difference
between a feminist's theory
on crime compared to anyone
else's, is that a feminist would
give more attention to the motive
of the crime or the reasons
behind it. For instance, was
it in self-defense? Was it a
gender based crime--i.e. was
the person attacked because
she was a woman, or because
she or he was gay, or because
of the color of her skin? Also,
feminists theories on crime
would give attention to those
crimes that do directly relate
to women--rape, batttery, etc...
Feminist
work involves identifying these
crimes, making sure that they
are treated as seriously as
other crimes, and penalties,
too.
