... UNIT TITTLE-SOCIOLOGY- UNIT B 21 JANUARY 2003 MOHAMMED EMAMY DRAFT RESEARCH / GENDER AND CRIME INTRODUCTION As in other areas of sociology, criminological studies have traditionally ignored half the population. An example of this is the account of social order and anomie. Merton (1930), cited by Taylor et al (2000), argued that American society encouraged people to seek 'money success', and as the social structure was unable to provide unlimited opportunities for all, this resulted in a 'strain to anomie', which lead to different types of deviance. Therefore it has been argued by various sociologists that women should figure more prominently in various categories of deviance including crime. The reason as to why their seems to be low crime rate for women is explained by Pollok (1950), cited by Haralambos, M. Holborn, M. Heald, R (2000), and the related chivalry theory to be the result of the higher numbers of men in the police
