- W3124999142 abstract "Latasha, the child of an alcoholic father and herself an alcohol abuser by thirteen, was arrested at nineteen after she hit a police officer with a baseball bat. (1) The officer was attempting to arrest her when she tried to take her child back from her boyfriend and his new girlfriend and instead ended up assaulting the girlfriend's mother. (2) It was Latasha's second assault arrest. (3) Latasha's mother, who separated from her father at ten, described Latasha as incorrigible; she said Latasha's father screwed up Latasha by using her to get back at me. (4) Chris, a twenty-two-year-old woman, was arrested for permitting her husband to sexually abuse her five and nine-year-old nieces. (5) Chris's father was an alcoholic and was abusive to his wife and children. Once he pushed Chris's mother down the stairs, breaking her arm, while another time, he beat her brother so badly that his eardrums were broken. (6) In addition, he hit Chris so hard that it caused her speech to be unintelligible, and as a result, she was described as 'nervous' and slightly retarded. (7) She was placed in special education classes after the second grade, and was easily led. (8) When she was twenty-one, she married a thirty-five-year-old trucker. In accounting for her failure to stop her husband's abuse of the children, Chris suggested that she acted to please her husband, so he would love her. (9) Betsey, a twenty-three-year-old woman, was a drug abuser whose face was scarred from injuries she received when she was pushed out of a moving car while turning a trick. (10) Betsey burned her scalp when she improperly applied a delousing salve to kill the imaginary vermin that she thought were crawling in her hair during a drug overdose. (11) She was arrested for possession of drugs, carrying a concealed weapon, check-forgery, fencing stolen goods--crimes she admitted to but was never charged for--as well as a robbery she claims she did not commit. (12) Betsey's mother left her abusive father, who had taunted her by saying that Betsey would have ninety-nine kids before she got out of school. (13) As a result, she forced Betsey to wear unattractive clothes, attend church twice on Sundays, and stay home at night. (14) After Betsey dropped out of school, her live-in boyfriend's mother, Marlene, encouraged her to work in prostitution in the streets near a naval base. (15) Marlene's (who prostituted her) introduced Betsey to her man, and Betsey and her man's two wives-in-law (other prostitutes with relationships with the same man) worked together in Milwaukee, Memphis, Nashville, and Florida. (16) She went through many men in her descent into drugs, and she was particularly touched by one man who tried to help her get off drugs without asking anything in return; however, he was ultimately imprisoned for forgery. (17) The steep rise in female offenders since the 1960s (18) has finally caused criminologists, lawyers, judges, and others to consider why they have not learned more about women offenders' lives, in order to better understand and explain why they enter, and how they proceed through the criminal system. (19) The rise in women's crime is particularly confounding because the overall crime rate has dropped. (20) Between 1990 and 1996, the state court convictions of women increased forty-two percent for felonies, thirty-seven percent for drug offenses, and thirty percent for violent felonies, while the overall crime rates in the same courts have dropped significantly. (21) There also has been an explosion in the number of incarcerated women. Prior to the war on drugs, about two-thirds of the women were put on probation and they represented less than five percent of the inmate population; however, by 1998, seven-and-a-half percent of all federal inmates were women, and seventy-two percent of them were drug offenders. (22) The study of these disturbing statistics has resulted in a number of theories that try to explain the recent increase in the number of women in prison. …" @default.
