The criminologist Lauritsen stated that “Men commit crime at higher rates than women” furthermore they are “involved in more serious and violent offending, and are more prone to recidivism” (Lauritsen et at 2009). He believed that this is one of the few undisputed ‘facts’ of criminology. Criminologists look at a range of issues in relation to gendered crime, this includes analysing actual patterns of behaviours and attitudes associated with crime and gender. Furthermore criminology looks at modern
emotional crime to report on and is a prevalent crime in which many are victimizing. When comparing to this to other crimes, the victims typically have a chance to defend themselves, however with children, this is not the case.

This paper will explain the reasoning behind why people abuse children using the criminological theory General Strain Theory. General Strain Theory has four functions to it which are, 1. Strain, 2.

Noel ‘Razor’ Smith’s autobiography ‘A few kind words and a loaded gun’ shows us a first person perspective of the life of a criminal and the trials and tribulations faced throughout it. We are shown how he got caught up in petty crimes such as stealing milk and gradually throughout the book escalated to offences such
