20-SPG Criminal Justice Just. 4 (Spring, 2005) |
Despite the increasing influx of women into the criminal justice system, their numbers still pale in comparison to males. Thus, it is still easy to overlook gender-related differences that may play a role in evaluating why a woman commits a crime, what is important to her once arrested, and the collateral consequences of her incarceration.
