Female Property Crime Offenders: Explanations From Economic Marginalization Perspective, Susan Chih-Wen Su

Theses Digitization Project

This research explores whether women offenders who committed property crimes suffer from feminization of poverty, and social deprivations as asserted by the economic marginalization theory. Social deprivations include being a single parent with dependent children at home, being the main financial supporter of a household and being primary caretaker to minor children.
