Freda Adler’s liberation thesis seems to conclude well the pattern and explanation of female criminality. She argues that as women have become more free through their liberation and increased rights, their crime rates have increased. The liberation of women correlates directly to their crime rates, which would therefore indicate some accuracy in the statement, as men become less lenient and more open-minded towards women and their crimes, female crime rates rise. Despite this, Adler has also been criticized as female crime rates have been rising since the 1950s, prior to the women’s liberation movement, and most female crime is committed by the working-class who are least likely to be influences by said movement.
