Book Description
In this book Kathleen Daly explores whether men and women who are prosecuted for similar crimes are punished differently. Analyzing women`s and men`s cases that are routinely processed in felony courts-cases of homicide, aggravated assault, robbery, larceny, and drug offenses-she challenges the common assumption that women are treated more leniently than men and shows that in fact gender makes little difference in sentencing decisions.
