A research is conducted to examine gender differences in offenders' ability to negotiate a positive identity once the pejorative labels of criminal, prostitute, drug dealer and incompetent parents are imputed onto them. The result show that males were much more adept than female offenders at juggling with conventional and street norms to justify and resist stigmatizing labels in order to construct a favorable identity.
