Abstract
The women’s and civil rights movements had raised multiple issues of the society, and of course criminal justice system is also one of those discussions. Many of feminists have focused or given attention to socioeconomic and political inequalities and differences among men and women, but few feminist criminologists have gained attention toward criminal justice system. The feminists and researchers have criticized traditional criminological approaches which failed to cater women lives and experiences in regard to victimization and crimes. Similarly, the ratio of women’s employment in criminal justice system is lowest because women were traditionally being out of male-dominated economic sectors.
