The theory of feminist analyzes asserts that because society tends to place women in more subordinate positions compared to men, they do not have access to the same jobs and opportunities (Macionis. 2015). Men more often occupy positions and jobs of power than women and earn more money, thus leading to the feminization of poverty. In 2014, the poverty rate for women was almost 15%, 5% higher than that for men (Anon. 2015). Additionally, more than half of children living in poverty were headed by single mothers. Feminist theory argues that due to high rates of female poverty and women raising children alone, they are more likely to turn to less violent crimes to earn money (Macionis. 2015). For example, in 2013, women accounted for 41% of fraud arrests. This approach theorizes that society is constructed from all daily interactions between individuals (Macionis. 2015). Therefore, what an individual constantly learns from others, how he communicates with people and reacts to everything around him, is what constitutes society. When studying crime and why it occurs, Symbolic Interaction states that criminal or deviant behavior is usually learned from the people and events around them (Macionis. 2015). It is important to note that this theory mainly applies to less serious and moderate crimes such as drug use, theft, burglary, etc. rather than extremely violent crimes, as in 2015). From the way a person speaks to the way they perceive the world around them, it's all individually constructed, just like crime. Research has proven that there is a strong relationship between whether a child has been abused and their likelihood of criminal behavior at some point in their life. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 15 percent of all male prison inmates experienced some form of abuse as children; this figure rises to a staggering 37% for women in the system (Prather, Walter and Jeannie A. Golden). .2009). This makes a strong argument for criminals who experienced this type of abuse and why they turned to crime (Prather, Walter, and Jeannie A. Golden. 2009). Using interaction theory, for many of these individuals, extreme abuse was one of the first things they experienced in life. They learned it from their parents or other family members, or perhaps from other children and teachers at school. From verbal abuse to physical abuse, this type of interaction has formed and become an essential part of their identity and reality. Abuse that escalated into violence and deviance, whether to earn a living or to vent anger on another person, resulting in abhorrent behavior.
