Women Offender, science homework help

The U.S. Department of Justice
indicates that the number of women in the prison system, on parole, and on
probation has increased steadily in the United States since the 1990s (Glaze,
2010). Furthermore, the number of women offenders has increased at a higher
rate than the number of men offenders. Although there is an increase in women
offenders, their crimes tend to be less violent than those committed by men.
