abstract="There have been periodic &quot;discoveries&quot; of the violent female offender as well as dire predictions of an increase in violence committed by women. The authors examine the pattern of violent crime by women over a long period of time to determine whether or not the &quot;problem&quot; of increasing violence is a myth. The authors conclude that women's contribution to violent crime has been and continues to make up a small percentage, except for crime categories that are highly vulnerable to changes in system responses.<p />",
