Women and girls contact with the justice system is often influenced by gender-related assumptions and stereotypes. The justice practices of the past 40 years have been largely based on conceptual principles and assumptions including personal theories about gender more than scientific evidence about what works to address the specific needs of women and girls in the justice system.
