A Consideration of Sex Role and Motivations for Crime.
McCord, Joan; Otten, Laura
Criminal Justice and Behavior, v10 n1 p3-12 Mar 1983
Assessed the relationship between the women's movement and crime. Responses to questionnaires measured aggressiveness, criminal behavior, and attitudes toward sex roles in people (N=577) aged 15 to 60. Males showed greater aggression and more criminality. For both sexes, attitudes toward women's rights were unrelated to criminality. (Author/JAC)
