Gender in crime news: A case study test of the chivalry hypothesis

Article Abstract:

The chivalry hypothesis, which states that female criminals receive more lenient treatment in the criminal justice system and in the news coverage of their crimes than their male counterparts, is analyzed with the data from 6 months of crime reporting in a local newspaper. The study found partial support for the chivalry hypothesis and that news coverage is harsher when men and women collaborate in crime than when men and women commit crimes independently.
