This paper discusses the problem of female delinquency. The problem is identified in the way that female delinquency is seen, rather than in the way it actually exists. The problem centres around how society defines delinquency and deviancy. Females are often judged by the same value system as men, despite the fact that they exist in a completely different reality. In other words, females are criminalized by a system of social control. 5 pgs. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
