- Authors
Bagaric, Mirko; Bagaric, Brienna
- Abstract
The article discusses the authors' claim that reforms are needed to address the over-imprisonment of women in America as of 2017, and it mentions criminal sentencing involving female criminals, the differences between male and female offenders, and the impact of imprisonment on a woman's right to procreate. Incarceration trends and recidivism among female criminals are examined, along with women who were victims of sexual abuse as children.
