'"It's worse than we're willing to admit," said Carl Taylor, a Michigan State University sociology professor and principal investigator for the Michigan Gang Research Project.

In Wayne County, 16-year-old Ciara Hill is awaiting trial on charges that she ordered a cousin to shoot a carjacking victim with an AK47 because he'd seen her face.
...
Taylor said the age and gender don't surprise him. He said more females seem willing to become physically aggressive.

"We have girls jumping guys -- something you really didn't see before," he said.

It is part of "a total breakdown" of accepted rules of conduct and behavior, Taylor said.
...
Veteran Detroit criminal lawyer David Cripps said he sees female youths as a part of "the absolutely tremendous surge" of youngsters charged with armed violence. "It's more than murders. It's armed robberies, carjackings, assaults. You see it in court every day," he said.'

All it took was a few cultural changes over the last twenty years or so, and this is what has resulted- what happens when the girls start getting as many violent role models as the boys? Anarchy plain and simple.
