- Description
- This paper examines the construction of the female offender's image through an analysis of reports published in one major Israeli newspaper over the period 1987-1989 and in another during 1994. The numerous stereotypical descriptions minimize her role as a criminal, so that her master status is of womanhood rather than criminality.
