Girls gone bad
Author: adminCome to think of it, there are more and more girls nowadays who are taken into custody because they committed violent crimes. It turns out that they are the ones doing the things that men usually do.
Researchers have mapped out 3 distinct reasons behind the rise in arrests for girls due to violent crimes. They are as follows:
1. They are trying to relabel the behavior as criminals. This means that those girls who are involved in scuffles at home with family members for example, are arrested for assault.
2. The media are helping out in discovering the violence that women are engaged into. Policy makers are taking notice as well. Which leads to the third reason.
3. Zero tolerance policies are being created and are in effect.
If we look closer, this is a very troubling behavior. The rise in violence goes to show that the streets will not be as safe as it used to be.
