Abstract

Drawing upon research on women in crime and justice, this study examines patterns of female crime and processing of female offenders in Israel over five decades. The data indicate that crime patterns of Israeli women and the criminal justice response to their transgressions show remarkable stability and are similar to those discemed in other Western countries. The article concludes that findings about women in crime and justice in Israel are congruent with feminist insights and explanatory mechanisms offered to explain female crime.
