Types of criminal acts women are likely to commit.
In their article, Trice and Lamb misrepresented my 1975 work on women and crime by suggesting that I predicted that there would be a big increase in violent crime among young women as they become more "masculinized." In fact, what was predicted was that as more women entered the labor force, there would be a significant increase in property offenses, mostly white collar and financial crimes on the part of women.
