Abstract

Analyzing the Link between Gender and Crime

Mahima Singh Kanwar*

Into the field of criminal justice, there exists much discussion and curiosity in the connection among gender and criminality. Many hypotheses were proposed throughout centuries in an attempt to clarify why illicit conduct differs among genders. Men are clearly prominent in criminal statistics as opposed to women, but a more in-depth analysis of interpersonal, genetic and psychological factors is necessary to uncover the root causes of such phenomena. In broad terms, an offence is any conduct or behaviour which is against lawful conduct and subject to official punishment. It covers an array of actions perceived injurious or destructive to people or the public in its entirety.
