Notes:	This article discusses the role of gender in the involvement with the Australian criminal justice system. A number of studies and data show that gender (in the form of masculinity) is the most frequent variable in offenders. Similarly, males are more likely to be the victims of most crimes; sexual assault and domestic violence are reported as the exceptions. The authors cite Australian theories and studies that approach criminal behaviour from a gender perspective. The importance of race and class is also considered to explain the relationship between gender and offending, and gender and victimisation.
