Gender can play a vital part in predicting criminal patterns. In the case of most crimes‚ the gender of the criminal could generally be bypassed completely‚ especially in the case of male perpetrators; or could become the sole focus of a case‚ especially in cases in which the perpetrator is a woman.

Gender Neutral Bathrooms Subjecting others to labels‚ whether accurate or not‚ is a criminal practice that happens daily.

In spite of many legal‚ cultural‚ and intellectual challenges that have called it into question‚ gender-stereotyping remains rooted in society. “Instead of looking at other things and trying to aspire to be something else‚ we should just be comfortable in who we are and just try to be our best selves” (Upworthy.com‚ n.d.). How we perceive each other can be determined through assumptions based on race‚ sex‚ age‚ etc. Stereotypes exist in all societies and are often cultural or religious in nature
