Correct answer: C. women's criminal behavior tended to reflect traditional gender roles

  • A. the rates of violent crime were similar for men and women
  • B. women's sexual delinquency was more likely to be normalized than men's
  • C. women's criminal behavior tended to reflect traditional gender roles
