Australian & New Zealand Journal of Criminology, Vol.39(1), pp.34-53
2006
Abstract
Official rates of female delinquency have been rising steadily in countries such as Australia, England, Canada and the United States since the 1960s.They have also generally been rising at a rate faster than that for boys. As yet there is little consensus about the reasons for these rises or even whether such rate rises reflect any real increase in female delinquency at all. Against this backdrop of rising official crimes rates for young women, this article revisits the various criminological explanations for these trends.
