The nature of crimes committed by women is much less dangerous than what men do and, as a result, there is huge difference in the number of women who get convicted and eventually jailed.

Therefore some people argue that there needs a separate justice system for cases involving women.

• How far can support this view?
• Try to identify certain factors that make women less dangerous than men when it comes to crimes.

Crimes and their corresponding punishments are part of any society, and there is great disparity in the number of female criminals. However, a separate justice system for women is unfair though the things that make women turn to crimes vary.

The first argument that opposes the view is that every nation takes its citizens equals. There is no one who is more or less equal than any other. Secondly, in a world of increasing gender parity and participation, it is not fair to take women more considerately than men. However, the fact remains that women commit much less number of crimes, and the severity of such crimes is much less as well. This does not make them any superior to the opposite gender. Criminal justice is just for all, though the factors that make women less dangerous differ from that of men’s.

Let me look at some of the factors that keep women from being as dangerous as men. First of all, women are much less aggressive genetically. For example, women are physically less exerting than men, and they are much worried about the consequences of their actions. Secondly, in all societies, it is women who take care of child rearing and family upkeep. Naturally, they are much more conscious of the after effects of crimes. Thirdly, almost all criminal deeds affect women and children.

In short, no society can do without crimes and punishments. So is the case with a uniform justice system. Therefore, it is right to conclude that separate justice for women is discriminatory. However, it is really encouraging that women are less inclined to crimes.
