Male vs. Female Offenders: Should They Receive the Same Punishment?

All sexes commit a criminal act, and according to the characteristics of gender there are general crimes related to men and women. Most of the violent crimes committed by men are murder, genocide, rape, violent assault, robbery (LaMance, 2011). Crimes often committed by female offenders are prostitution, murder, theft, arson. Not all violent crimes are committed by men, many women commit the same crime. Nonviolent crimes such as gambling, prostitution, arson, fraud and bribery also occur frequently (LaMance, 2011).

The hudood (punishment) stipulated by the Islamic law is the same for men and women, the female thief is punished like a male thief, the adultery is punished like a traitor, the female bartender is punished like a male bartender I will. Women who fought war with God and the prophets are punished just like men. In qisas (retaliation), the soul of a woman is the same as the soul of a man. The murderer is like a murderer and the murdered woman is like a murdered man. Qisas was obtained from a man, and if he killed a woman, it is like killing a man. Blood money rule does not distinguish between men and women

Punishment is based on punishment by desert. Criminals should be punished according to the severity of their criminal activity. Retaliation philosophy is based on the familiar biblical ban "teeth for eyes and teeth for the eyes". Punishment assumes that we all know good and evil, have moral responsibility for our actions, and be accountable. The problem is what kind of punishment is "worthy": imprisonment, fines, or imprisonment? How do you decide the length of the appropriate prison sentence and the type of institution that should be subject to that sentence? This is not necessarily clear. Because individuals "worthy" may be subject to criminal circumstances, victim's background, and criminal's personal history.

Violence in criminal criminal records does not seem to explain the demographic differences in judgment. The average sentence of a black male offender is 20.4% longer than that of a white male offender, which is the criminal past violence in 2016, the only year such data is available. Unless you consider past violence, this number is almost the same as the difference of 20.7%. Therefore, criminal criminal history violence seems not to give rise to any degree judgment imposed beyond the contribution of criminals' criminal record scores determined by the judgment guide.
