This informative book is an update of The Report of the LEAA [Law
Enforcement Assistance Administration] Task Force on Women,
published in October 1975. It evaluates the 1975 recommendations
made on issues that the criminal justice field should examine to
ensure that women and girls are treated fairly in the criminal
justice system. Female offenders, female crime victims, and female
criminal justice professionals remain substantially neglected
populations in the criminal and juvenile justice systems. Despite
the gains made by women since 1975, current evidence shows that:
Although the nature and composition of female offenders have
changed, the special needs of the burgeoning adult and juvenile
offender populations often remain overlooked; Although assistance
to crime victims has improved, the need remains for a firm
commitment from the criminal justice and juvenile justice systems
to change the way these systems respond to women and girls who have
been, or potentially could be, victims of crime; Although
opportunities for female criminal justice professionals have
improved, gender bias and inequality still exist within the
criminal justice field and women's progress through the ranks
continues to be slow.
