reddington

critical and suggests that there is “perhaps no better example of male hegemonic control over popular cultural history than the rewrite of punks to exclude the very large and productive presence of young women”

women were actually actively involved in punk culture

male sociologists failed to identify their importance and so reduced girl punks to a sub-subculture, or a subculture within a subculture

reflects the patriarchy across society

official statistics

in 2022, 85% of arrests made in the UK were male

this compares from 548,000 men to 96,000 women

explanations for it is the ‘control theory’ which suggests that young women carry out less deviance because they are more monitored than young men

women who deviate the most tend to be the most oppressed

over 80% of the female prison population have suffered child abuse, SA or lived in care

these women are most likely to deviate from societies norms

direct link to social class, poverty and deviance but not liberation

radical feminists/pussy riots

promote radical ideas for example ‘woman, life, freedom’ movement

protesters were imprisoned for performing a punk song in a russian cathedral , some female subcultures are at the front of this rebellious behaviour

adler

suggested that these groups are emerging as a response to the liberation of women

as gender convergence and equality occurs women will naturally become more assertive, independent and powerful

traits that can lead people to deviance and crime, as seen with male subcultures.
