Young Cites Sentencing Bias in Criminal Courts
Submitted by Scott on Sun, 2002-07-07 22:01
Cathy Young's column in the July issue of Reason magazine examines the issue of gender bias in criminal sentencing, particularly for murder. Young's analysis, as always, attempts to achieve a balance - she criticizes some of Warren Farrell's outline of women-only defenses in criminal cases - but she clearly agrees that there is a substantial bias in courts which obtains more lenient sentences for women. It's definitely a must-read article. Source: Reason [magazine]
