The work of Smart suggested that_____________?
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

Explanation
Smart linked women's criminal behaviour to conventional gender expectations, such as offences arising from roles traditionally assigned to women. Violent-crime rates were not generally similar for men and women, so “all of the above” is incorrect.
