“…Based on this research, we would anticipate that overall, female victims would be more likely to report to the police than male victims (H1). This hypothesis would also be consistent with prior research on crime reporting (Bachman ; Bachman and Coker ; Miller ; Potter ; Stanko and Hobdell ; Weiss ).…”

“…Some empirical research provides evidence to support theoretical arguments that racial and ethnic minorities and lower social-class victims may be less likely to report to the police (Anderson 1999;Baumer Eric 2002;Carr et al 2007;Miller 2008;Slocum et al 2010;Sokoloff and Dupont 2005). For example, in his ethnography of a Philadelphia community, Anderson (1999) argues that economically disadvantaged African Americans only call the police in a dire emergency, although he did not specify what this would include.…”

“…In a study of lower-income African-American women in one of the poorest sections of St. Louis, participants asserted that calling the police would not help them if they were victimized, police would be slow to respond or not show up at all, and in general, calling for help could just make the situation worse. Neighborhood norms emphasized minding one's own business and to avoid snitching to the police (Miller 2008). Other research has suggested that women of color, particularly African-American women, may be reluctant to report to the police because they do not want their intimate partners to be mistreated by the police and because doing so would contribute to stereotypes about race and crime (Collins 1998;Sokoloff and Dupont 2005).…”

“…Some scholars have argued that society considers affluent white women to be "ideal victims" because they engender the greatest public concern and political support (Christie 1986;Kulig and Cullen 2017;Madriz 1997;Neely 2015;Ritchie 2017). This is despite the reality that Hispanic women have similar victimization rates compared to white women (Rennison 2002;Rennison and Welchans 2000) and black women, particularly those who are economically disadvantaged, have significantly higher rates of victimization (Crenshaw 1991;Harrell 2007;Miller 2008;Potter 2008). Research also suggests that women of color themselves imagine a "typical" victim as a female who is white and middle class (Madriz 1997) and are less likely to label themselves as "victims" (Collins 1998;Potter 2008).…”

This study uses an intersectional approach to examine the “paradox” that disadvantaged victims often mobilize the police, despite their distrust and lack of confidence in the law. Data from the National Crime Victimization Survey (1994–2016) were analyzed using logistic regression to model the predicted probabilities of police notification by victims of crime. Economic disadvantage, as measured by family poverty and lack of a high school education, increased the probability that females reported their victimization to the police, but decreased the likelihood that males did so. Economically disadvantaged black females had the highest probability of reporting, while economically disadvantaged black and Hispanic males had the lowest. Examining the intersectional differences across social groups shows that reporting behavior is not just a function of one attribute but rather is a function of multiple identities and structural inequalities.

“…For this reason, we are unable to examine the full range of gender-based violence. Other scholars have provided a much more detailed examination of sexual harassment and other forms of gender-based violence, including both individual and environmental correlates of such experiences (e.g., Fineran & Bolen, 2006;Miller, 2008;Shute et al, 2008). 9.…”

Research on school-based violence and bullying suggests that males are more likely to be both perpetrators and victims of bullying. Because of this, until recently, the experiences of females have been somewhat overlooked. Evidence suggests, however, that definition and measurement issues may be at play; girls, for instance, are more likely than boys to experience indirect forms of bullying such as teasing. To what extent have the correlates and consequences of bullying victimization been misspecified due to an emphasis on direct forms of bullying, such as physical violence, which disproportionately affects boys? The authors use data from two waves of a longitudinal panel study of 1,222 youths in 15 schools across the United States to address this question by examining the correlates and consequences for both boys and girls of two forms of bullying. Findings suggest a number of important gender similarities and differences in indirect and direct bullying victimization.

Going home to the gangsters: a preliminary study on the potential link between reintegration support and recidivism amongst female offenders

Purpose As the subject of female criminology in South Africa has only recently been dealt with in a qualitative manner, this paper aims to explore if there is a potential link between rehabilitation, reintegration support and recidivism as females are often placed back into the environment which prompted their criminal behaviour, further excluding them from rehabilitative reform, which might lead them to recidivate. Design/methodology/approach The research adopted a qualitative approach using in-depth, semi-structured interviews with six participants that were chosen purposively. Findings The paper notes a potential link between rehabilitation, reintegration support and recidivism as the female prisoners are imprinted with criminal dispositions since rehabilitation within the correctional facility has no implementation process to ensure that restoration can continue after they have been released. Research limitations/implications Due to the limited number of the incarcerated female population and the scope of the preliminary study, the sample comprised of only six female offenders. As such, it contributes to the larger discourse of female criminality, but does not offer any recommendations. Practical implications Provides an understanding of the conditions in which the females are released. Allows for the inclusion of the female’s voice on, and reflection of, rehabilitation and recidivism. Notes a link between rehabilitation, reintegration and recidivism. Creates a pathway for further research in the exploration of a gendered reform approach. Originality/value While the subject of female criminology in South Africa has only recently been dealt with in a qualitative manner, this study offers an insight into how females who offend are often placed back into the environment which prompted their criminal behaviour.
