Women commit less crime than men, but the gap is closing. Women tend to commit different types of crimes like shoplifting, receiving stolen goods, and prostitution, while men more commonly commit violent crimes, sex crimes, and burglary. Statistics show men are far more likely to be convicted of crimes and to be repeat offenders. However, some argue female crimes may be less likely to be reported or prosecuted compared to male crimes. Sociological explanations for differences in male and female criminality include socialization into different gender roles, the effects of patriarchal control over women, and theories that women's crime rates may increase as patriarchal control diminishes.

How do criminals decide to commit a crime? Do they even think about the risks and benefits? Why do some commit crimes regardless of the consequences? These are some questions we often ask for ourselves because of the growing number of crimes happening in the society today.
Until recently, it was possible to condemn criminologists both for their near silence on women and criminal law, and for their sexism when they did speak. The most recent wave of feminism has witnessed two seemingly contradictory developments in theories of women and crime. First, femi-nism has kindled interest in women's studies in various academic disci-plines. Criminology has been no exception: the sexist treatment of women victims and offenders by police and other criminal justice officials, the sex-ism of traditional theories of crime, and the concept of victimless crimes have all been under attack.' But, there have also been arguments that women's crime has increased as a result of the women's liberation movement. This belief has been called "the most powerful and widely held ... concerning the topic of female criminality," and its impact has been felt by women offenders being pun-ished for their supposed acts of liberation.' Feminist criminologists now must do more than denounce mainstream criminology for its failure to ac-knowledge the significance of female crime. It is not enough simply to resurrect the neglected female offender. We must transcend the traditional boundaries of criminology and examine the role of the state and the law in reinforcing the position of women in contemporary society.

Although both women and men may be victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking, women are the victims of the vast majority of these crimes. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, more than 85% of violent victimizations by intimate partners between 1993 and 1998 were perpetrated against women. Women are between 13 and 14 times more likely than men to be raped or sexually assaulted; for instance, in 1994, 93% of sexual assaults were perpetrated against women. Four of five stalking victims are women.

Every two minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted. One out of every six American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime. Only one in 50 women who have been raped reports the crime to the police.
Although both women and men may be victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking, women are the victims of the vast majority of these crimes. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, more than 85% of violent victimizations by intimate partners between 1993 and 1998 were perpetrated against women. Women are between 13 and 14 times more likely than men to be raped or sexually assaulted; for instance, in 1994, 93% of sexual assaults were perpetrated against women. Four of five stalking victims are women. Data on male victimization do not show that males experience comparable victimizations and injury levels, do not account for women who act in self defense, and do not measure financial control, intimidation, and isolation used by perpetrators of domestic violence against women.
The gender issue is foremost in sexual assault issues, and is usually background in general victimization. The unique cultural bias and shaming that accompanies rape cases needs its own focused opposition. The history of rape law is a history of the law used as a tool to protect rapists, rather than the raped. The anti-rape movement confronts, as it must, the cultural myths that uniquely exist in the context of rape. Manipulation of these myths, along with humiliation and victim blaming, are typical informal defenses to rape charges. Blaming victims in rape cases may be an effective means to secure acquittal. In contrast, blaming a robbery victim is typically ineffective because robbery is unaccompanied by the same pernicious cultural myths. The nature of stigma and abuse in rape cases is profound and unique, a criminal process that mistreats and excludes other types of victims also inflicts secondary victimization.
In 2002, there were 247,730 victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual assault. One out of every six American women have been the victims of an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime (14.8% completed rape; 2.8% attempted rape). A total of 17.7 million women have been victims of these crimes. In 2002, one in every eight rape victims were male. 93% of juvenile sexual assault victims knew their attacker; 34.2% were family members and 58.7% acquaintances. Only seven percent of the perpetrators were strangers to the victim.
One of the most startling aspects of sex crimes is how many go unreported. The most common reasons given by victims for not reporting these crimes are the belief that it is a private or personal matter and that they fear reprisal from the assailant.
• In 2001, only 39% of rapes and sexual assaults were reported to law enforcement officials — about one in every three. [1999 NCVS]
• Approximately 66% of rape victims know their assailant.
• Approximately 48% of victims are raped by a friend or acquaintance; 30% by a stranger; 16% by an intimate; 2% by another relative; and in 4% of cases the relationship is unknown.
• About four out of ten sexual assaults take place at the victim’s own home. More than half of all rape/sexual assault incidents were reported by victims to have occurred within one mile of their home or at their home.
• In one study, 98% of males who raped boys reported that they were heterosexual.
• Rapists are more likely to be serial criminals than serial rapists. In one study, 46% of rapists who were released from prison were rearrested within 3 years of their release for another crime -- 18.6% for a violent offense, 14.8% for a property offense, 11.2% for a drug offense and 20.5% for a public-order offense.
• 61% of rapes/sexual assaults are not reported to the police. Those rapists, of course, never serve a day in prison.
So, even in the 39% of attacks that are reported to police, there is onl
Gender & Sexual Violence
Sexual Objectification
Sexual objectification is the reduction of a person to his or her sex appeal.
Both men and women are objectified in popular culture.
Gay men are objectified more than heterosexual men.
Women overall are objectified much more than men.
There’s now so much competition for attention that media content has learned that more is better. This has extended to more sex in the media, and women are conventionally portrayed as sex objects and sexually objectified.
Can you think of examples of sexual objectification in any shows or films you’ve recently watched? Who was sexually objectified? After hearing the responses, do the students’ examples confirm the book’s findings (i.e., that women are objectified more than men and that gay men are objectified more than heterosexual men)? Why or why not?
2
The Heterosexual Male Gaze
Media privileges male desire and assumes a heterosexual male gaze.
Content is designed to appeal to a hypothetical heterosexual man.
Men undergo a process of sexual subjectification.
They are told what their internal thoughts and feelings should be.
This privilege of male desire leads to a heterosexual male gaze. Can you think of how this gaze can negatively impact men?
3
Self-Objectifying
The heterosexual male gaze means that women are regularly exposed to idealized images of female bodies.
Many women self-objectify.
They internalize the idea that their physical attractiveness determines their worth.
During sex, worrying about how you look can translate into a process called spectating.
Instructor Note: You can build from the previous slide by now discussing how the heterosexual male gaze can negatively impact women. You should also discuss how gay and bisexual men in same-sex encounters can be positioned as the objectifier, the objectified, or both. Heterosexual men are less likely to be sexually objectified than others are.
How can the heterosexual male gaze impact women? How can it impact men? Do you think there are negative consequences to the heterosexual male gaze for men? For women? If yes, how so?
4
Sexual Scripts
A sexual script refers to the social rules that guide sexual interaction.
The scripts of both mixed-sex and same-sex couples have a somewhat rigid ascending order of intimacy.
Sexual scripts are also gendered.
The masculine role is assertive.
The feminine role is responsive.
This creates a push-and-resist dynamic, whereby it’s normal for men to push for sexual activity and for women to stop or slow it down.
Instructor Note: Here you can discuss how our views on gender also shape how our sexual interactions are expected to go.
Can you develop a sexual script for a mixed-sex couple? Are there any gendered dynamics within the script? If yes, how so?

Sexual Violence
In the United States, one in three women and one in sex men have experienced sexual violence.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
8. USEFUL STATS ON GENDER AND CRIME
• 4 out of 5 are convicted offenders in England and Wales are
male
• By the age of forty 9% of females had a criminal
conviction, it was 32% for males
• A higher proportion of women are convicted of property
crime (except burglary)
• A higher proportion of men are convicted of violence and
sexual offences
• Males are more likely to be repeat offenders and to be
convicted of serious crimes
• Men are 15 times more likely to be convicted of murder, 5
times as likely for robbery and 8 times as likely for criminal
damage
• Similar patterns are repeated in other countries
9. First big question in the study of Gender and
Crime – do women really commit fewer
crimes, or are the statistics misleading?
1 Typical female crimes like shoplifting or
prostitution are less likely to be reported and
noticed. Typical male crimes like violence, sex
crimes and burglary are much more visible
and therefore more likely to be reported
2 Even when women’s crimes are detected or
reported they are less likely to be prosecuted
or, if prosecuted more likely to be let off
relatively lightly
10. Debate
Women get away with crime
Versus
Women get a raw deal from the Criminal
Justice System
How do women fare once they are processed
by the Criminal Justice System? Is it biased
towards or against women?
11. Non-Sociological
explanations for
women’s crime have
included:-
a)Lombroso &Ferrari:
criminality is inborn
(see picture)
b)Moir & Jessel -
violent crime can be
linked to pre-
menstrual tension.
c)Eysenck – women
criminals are
extroverts
12. There are 3 main SOCIOLOGICAL EXPLANATIONS for
female criminality:
1 Sex Role Theory
Boys and girls are socialised into different gender scripts
2 Patriarchal Control Theory /Feminism
Women are more controlled in all aspects of life which reduces
their capacity to offend. Also Carlen’s notion that when the reward
system for female conformity fails (class and gender deal) females
are likely to offend
3 Liberation Thesis
As patriarchy diminishes women’s participation in crime will
increase and women adopt ‘male’ patterns of offending
