Young Cites Sentencing Bias in Criminal Courts

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]
