Adler says the female crime rate is rising due to increased what?

Expert Solution
INTRODUCTION

Sociology of crime defines crime as seen as a deviant behavior from the normal state of being adhering to the existing, legitimate norms and values in society. Society consists of the social norms and the legitimate norms that the individual has to follow as being part of society. These norms are pre-existed to control the influence of one over the other and make the social interactions happen smoothly.

EXPLANATION

Adler was a female criminologist who propounded many theories in criminology. She was also contributed to feminist scholarship. She says that there is an existent relationship between the feminist liberalization movement and criminality. The second wave of the liberation movement embarked the increased opportunities for women in the economic spectrum. Due to a rapid increase in women's opportunities, there is also a rise in female criminality and deviance drastically. The open access to economic transactions for females made them entitled to pressures, temptations, and challenges earlier only experienced by men. Due to this increased workforce, Adler predicted that there is a rise in female offenders and criminality. She argues that increased opportunities lead to increased legal opportunities, which results in women's criminality. The male in the workforce who are entitled to pressures, psychological disorders led to becoming criminals. In the same, the women who got an opportunity to enter the workforce through feminist liberalization are also exposed to the same conditions, which made them perform criminal activities on par with men. Due to this, the female's crime rate is reaching the same position as the same as the men. Feminism, as a recent development, is also making people become criminals.
