Stupid Bitches, Criminal Justice is for Men!

              Another fallacy of the already decrepit criminal justice system is the sexism involved with it.  Not only is the system mostly run by males, the criminals and victims of crime are very gender biased as well.  Yet again, the justice and fairness that the practitioners claim to be engaging in is not exhibited.  Using statistics from the Federal Bureau of Justice Statistics makes the aforementioned sexism validated, and with the amount of men who are law enforcers, criminals, and victims why does the criminal justice system claim to be operating on some fair and impartial proclivity?  It could be that not many women apply or seek training for policing, courtroom, and correctional professions, but this does not seem to be the case as other statistics demonstrate that women have more formal education and higher intelligence when compared to men, or is it that the Equal Opportunity Laws are another element of insidious and pretentious propaganda that the criminal justice system (and civil justice) uses to circumvent the public? Or is it that women realize how many dumb asses are invloved with the system and choose not to work in it?  You decide. 

               As for the criminals, most of the arrests, convictions, and inmates in jails or prisons are males.  Although there are women who commit crime and in turn enter the system, the ratio of men who are criminally involved with the system to women with the same attachments is very disproportionate.  The fact remains that women have always been discriminated against in the United States (apparently when it comes to criminality too), but for some unexplained reason the tendency of the criminal justice system has been to focus on men, this is not to say that the crimes that are responded to are gender mutual, however the idea that not as many women as men who are arrested, brought to court, and sentenced is a bit questionable. 

               Female victims of crime seem to be getting shafted as well, when you look into the types of crimes that are committed against women it is noticeable that a lot (not all) are victims of horrific violent crimes (rapes, assaults, stalking, and criminal coercions). With this information being presented it brings my attention to the fact that the criminal justice professionals may be focusing too much on silly street-level crime, and not the heinous acts that most people think should be punished more, but it is fair to suggest that the amount of violent crime is not as prevalent as petty street-crime, or that petty crimes should not be taken care of.   

               Since this topic is new (new to me) I intend on expanding it more, so please refrain from huffing and puffing about the content, the fact (notice the word “fact”) remains that the information that is posited can be validated by putting a little effort into finding it, research is what is being proposed.  Lastly, as gender discrimination continues in all of the components of the criminal justice system I cannot help but remember that the symbol of the system is a blind-folded women…what the hell is going on?  Are the professionals in the system always going to be corrupt, sexist, racist, and prejudice?  Is there such a thing as justice anymore?
