Gender stereotypes are reinforced and challenged through criminal behavior from "summary" of Gender and Criminality in Bangla Crime Narratives by Shampa Roy
Gender stereotypes play a significant role in shaping beliefs and expectations about individuals based on their gender. In the context of criminal behavior, these stereotypes can both reinforce and challenge societal norms and perceptions. Through the lens of Bangla crime narratives, we can see how criminal behavior is often linked to traditional gender roles and expectations. In many crime narratives, male characters are often portrayed as aggressive, dominant, and violent, reinforcing the stereotype of men as inherently more prone to criminal behavior. This portrayal not only reflects societal beliefs about masculinity but also perpetuates the idea that men are naturally predisposed to committing crimes. On the other hand, female characters are often depicted as passive, nurturing, and submissive, challenging the stereotype that women are incapable of engaging in criminal activities.
