Making Women Mad: Women, Crime and Madness
Abstract
Sexist assumptions pervade the areas of psychiatry and criminology, and they have an important influence in reinforcing sex-role stereotypes in general. These sexist assumptions also speak specifically to the women's movement when feminists are braded as irrational, and as responsible for the increase in the type and amount of crimes committed by women.
