Talk:Feminist school of criminology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hmm interesting article. I can not see how this has come to be on Wiki? It is not what one could call balanced in any way and the majority of sources referenced are from the early 1980's (is this because they matched the authors bias perhaps?)

Agreed, this is totally biased towards positivism.Nightside eclipse 21:51, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

This article certainly has the potential to be expanded. What about the impact of the feminist school of jurispruence? For example its impact on the criminal justice system? ~~ Seaflat

I read through the Victimology at the bottom, and there is a distinct lack of references. Some of the claims appear to be self-evidently absurd: "Assault is the largest cause of injury to women in the US." (More than traffic accidents?) "Three out of four women will be victims of violent crimes during their lives" (If 75% of my circle of female acquaintances have been victims of violent crime, wouldn't I have noticed by now?) "Feminists have introduced the possibility that females suffer equally when men are imprisoned." (Odd. When females are imprisoned, I don't recall anyone ever suggesting that their male partners suffer just as much.)

Clearly, this stuff doesn't fit into Wikipedia's quality standards? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yamantaka (talk • contribs) 03:06, August 29, 2007 (UTC)
