Indeed the under reporting of female crime in a male dominated and orientated criminal justice system is a quite commonly reported phenomenon. For whilst some women suffer disproportionately for minor crimes, normally those who fail to comply with the classic social female stereotype, our classic middle class female mother is treated with considerable leniency in the initial stages of crime , having far more second chances than a male in the same situation. Indeed even on this site we have seen the occasional female who accepts being treated according to the rules i.e. not being treated exceptionally) as worthy of near hero status .whilst we expect the same of a man without question. There are , as I have said, no actions in this world which are not socially mediated by the prevailing ideology.
