In ths examination of women on the wrong side of the law, you'll meet wives who profit, nures who deliberately sent their patients to untimely ends, and mothers who did the unthinkable. You'll also see how many women take advantage of public perception and claim they're victims to receive lighter punishment than men--or no punishment at all!
Authors Betty Alt and Sandra Wells also examine the growing threat of violent female gang members and the often unprosecuted "pink-collar" crimes of embezzlement, shoplifting and fraud. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in modern crime.
