Answer to Question 1

 Contemporary interest in the association between gender and delinquency has surged, fueled by observations of the struggles young women now face.
 While female delinquency is still lower than the male delinquency, girls are now getting involved in serious delinquent acts. Young women represent the fastest growing population within juvenile justice systems around the world.
 The types of delinquent acts that young women engage in today also seem quite similar to those of young men.
 Larceny and aggravated assault, the crimes for which most young men are arrested, are also the most common offenses for which females are arrested. There is evidence that girls get more heavily involved in gangs and gang violence.
 Another reason for the interest in gender studies is that conceptions of gender differences have changed. A feminist approach to understanding crime is now firmly established.
 The result has been an increased effort to conduct research that would adequately explain differences and similarities in male and female offending patterns.
