Women Crime and Criminal Justice

The numbers of women behind bars continue to grow. The types of crimes they commit differ

compared to men. The three strikes laws are funneling in more women than ever before, and they

are facing longer sentences. There has been little public discussion about the dramatic increase of

women in the prison system.
Using both academically valid internet resources and your textbook as references, briefly discuss

the history of females in prison.
In your paper, consider the following:
• What major differences do you find in the treatment of men versus women while

incarcerated?
• Looking at female incarceration both historically and today, what changes in treatment

do you find?
• Is there still a gap between men’s and women’s treatment while incarcerated? Why or why

not?
