Sex Differences in Criminal Activity.

Hindelang, Michael J.

Social Problems, v27 n2 p143-56 Dec 1979

National victimization survey data for 1972-76 are examined in order to investigate the extent to which they are in accord with Uniform Crime Report arrest data regarding the offender's sex. Results indicate that proportionate female involvement has been relatively stable except that larceny has shown a slight increase. (Author/GC)
