Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

 Some experts favor the chivalry hypothesis, which holds that police are likely to act paternally toward young girls and not arrest them.
 Others believe that police may be more likely to arrest female offenders because their actions violate officers' stereotypes of the female.
 There is some research support for various forms of gender bias. The nature of this bias may vary according to the seriousness of the offense and the age of the offender.
 Studies offer a variety of conclusions, but there seems to be general agreement that police are less likely to process females for delinquent acts and that they discriminate against them by arresting them for status offenses.
 Police tend to be more lenient toward females than males with regard to acts of delinquency.
 Merry Morash found that boys who engage in typical male delinquent activities are much more likely to develop police records than females.
 Student examples will vary.
