Abstract
Sensationalised attention to women’s crime and violence is a recurring feature in popular media. While skyrocketing rates of arrest and imprisonment (Lawston 110) seem to reflect the popular perception that women’s crime is on the increase, research evidence points to shifting criminal justice and welfare practices as the primary causes rather than significant changes in crime itself (Malloch and McIvor 3).
