    Examined are the cases of the 162 women sentenced to death from 1977 to 2023. White women comprise the majority of death-sentenced women; as such, women of color are hidden in descriptions of female death-sentencing in the U. S. Data were collected on the women and the circumstances of their murders and compared by race and ethnicity. Analyses of the data by time period revealed substantial changes in the victims and circumstances of the murders …

  • Defeminizing and Dehumanizing Female Murderers

    K Farr, KATHRYN ANN FARRARTICLEWomen & Criminal Justice2000

    Case studies of the 35 women on death row in 1993 suggest that hetero-feminine image is important in engendering chivalry and thus leniency toward female offenders. Lesbians in particular were over-represented in atypical death sentence cases. Featured are media and prosecutorial representations of the cases of five lesbians on death row. These offenders were depicted as manly and man-hating women who occupy additional marginalized statuses, and …

  • Patterns in Gender-Related Perceptions

    Open AccessRobert W Shotola, K Farr et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1990

    Perceptions of mothers' work history (temporal patterns, reasons why mothers worked or did not work outside the home) were examined in relation to 153 male and 188 female college students' self-reported personal attributes and feminist orientation. Men, more than women, reported their mothers had not worked and had wanted to be full-time homemakers. Women more frequently recalled that then-mothers had worked full time and were more likely to attr…

    Although the existence of plea negotiation as an operative mode of disposition in most criminal court systems has been firmly established, its role in the administration of justice remains a topic of considerable debate. It has been claimed that plea negotiation subverts ideal principles of justice while attending to administrative needs for speedy case settlement. More recent research indicates that disposition by guilty plea is a complex proces…
