There are a lot of gender differences in patterns of crime, from which gender commit more crime to which crimes each gender commits more of. In this essay I will be giving explanations on why this different patterns in crime for gender happen. Men have a higher crime rate than women but the gap in this crime rate is slowly closing in recent years. Some Sociobiologists have the explanation that it is biological for the reason women are less likely to commit crimes than men. They argue that women have a more natural desire to be caring and this does not correspond to the values of crime, so they are less likely to offend due to them not having the nature to commit the crime.
Women have always been thought of as the weaker sex and Sociologists such as Heidensohn argue that men see the need to protect women. Police are more likely to caution a woman for shop lifting than they are a man. Flood-Page et al found that one in eleven female offenders had been cautioned and prosecuted in comparison to one in seven males. Women are also less likely to be prosecuted for an offence and found guilty of offences by juries. This is because women (especially when they have children) are seen first and foremost in the expressive role (mothering and caring).
Females have lower arrest rates than males for virtually all crime categories except prostitution. Females have even lower representation than males do in serious crime categories. Trends in female crime relative to male crime are more complex. Some writers claim that female crime has been increasing faster than male crime, as measured by the percentage of female arrests. This has clearly been true in the case of minor property crimes, where the percentage of female arrests had about doubled between 1960 and 1975 from around 15 to 30 percent or more, with slight additional increases since then.
There is not a clear definition on what is equal pay for men and women but that’s when the Equal Pay Act comes into action. “Occupational earnings survey conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics almost invariably report substantially higher average rates pay for men than for women performing the same general type of work” (McNulty,1967, p.40) Assuming when women entered the workforce men have been dominating the pay charts for doing the same job and sometimes lessor work. The study of two literature reviews entitled “Differences in pay between men and women workers” by Donald J. McNulty and “Pay differences between men and women in the same jobs” by John E. Buckley will hopefully shed some insight to what “We” have known to be true for a long time… Men are paid more. Findings/Results In the research article titled “Differences in pay between men and women workers” by McNulty (1967), the study was based on surveys that were conducted in 84 metropolitan areas by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) concerning occupational earnings and related practices. The study was conducted on eight offices, three plants and men and women from each.
Firm B – Warehouse shopping club Main reasons: • This company has a high level of inventory (17.3%) and a high level of inventory turnover (11.0). • Compared to the supermarket chain, this company has a higher percentage of net, plant and equipment (65.4% vs. 46.5%) and higher margins, since generally they have more value aggregated products. The warehouse-shopping club also has a similar number for days of receivables, characteristics of the payments in cash and payment cards. Firm C – Express delivery firm Main reasons: • Among all firms, we realize that firm C has the highest percentage for long-term debt (32.9%), characteristic of this type of companies that need long term debt to finance many of their assets. • In terms of days of receivable, this firm has an average number (41.2) as generally they give credit to some of its costumers.
Believing sexism will go away without putting major changes in place, is not a reality. Sexism blatantly exists in the work place. Obvious (and most common) examples of this would be: women are often paid less than their male counterparts for the same position, men often receive rapid job promotions in comparison to women and women are usually the targets of gender based harassment. Women frequently struggle with the lack of pay they receive, in comparison to their male counterparts. A woman working in the same job as a man will usually earn less, despite the fact that she may have the same or better training, education, and skills required for the job ("Study Shows Female Managers in Britain Earn Less than Men, and Equality Could Be 57 Years Away."
But we go back to the gender inequality because taller men make more than taller women. Education plays a
For example, “The main reason the United States if richer is because...they work about 20% more hours per year than Europeans (newfederalist).” Based off of this study, we see that while Americans are wealthier, they are working a lot more strenuously to make this money. Stress levels among citizens living in the United States are much higher than in France. Americans are stressed with deadlines and work while in France the work is not as strenuous.

Good-looking raters didn't seem to care one way or the other how handsome or beautiful an applicant was, but average-looking raters did - they penalized better-looking same-sex applicants.
