Answer to Question 1

 With the publication in 1895 of The Female Offender, Lombroso extended his work on criminality to females.
 Lombroso maintained that women were lower on the evolutionary scale than men, more childlike and less intelligent.
 Women who committed crimes could be distinguished from normal women by physical characteristics: for example, excessive body hair, wrinkles, and an abnormal cranium.
 In appearance, delinquent females appeared closer to men than to other women. The masculinity hypothesis suggested that delinquent girls had excessive male characteristics.
 In 1925, Cyril Burt linked female delinquency to menstruation.
 Healy and Bronner's research suggested that males' physical superiority enhanced their criminality. Their research showed that about 70 of the delinquent girls they studied had abnormal weight and size, a finding that supported the masculinity hypothesis..
 Student views will vary.
