However, towards the turn of the century and with the disproportionate rise in female incarceration, literature caught up to the fact that women and men do not experience the same socialization, standards, or reality and, therefore, have different reasons for and ways of offending. This research explores those reasons for women in the U.S. and Mexico and paints the picture …

Crossing The Line: Juvenile Transfer And Prison Violence, Jessica M. Huffman
Sociology & Criminal Justice Theses & Dissertations
The juvenile court has long held caring and rehabilitation as it's objective for those persons who commit crimes while under age 18.

This thesis examines the use of the juvenile transfer and the effects it has with respect to prison violence using states in the U.S. as the unit of analysis. It was hypothesized that prison violence would increase with an …
