A New York based dispatch notes 1970 FBI data showing women in crime rising across major categories. Women accounted for 17 percent of serious crimes and 10 percent of violent crimes, with increases in fraud, embezzlement, forgery, and larceny. Young female offenders also climbed sharply.
A brutal personal narrative contrasts obesity with insurance denial and stigma. The writer recalls a 267 pound husband’s death, public scorn, rising medical costs, and the cruelty of fat shaming. The piece then surveys women’s crime trends, citing FBI data on murder, larceny, and robbery, plus sociological insights on female offenders, prostitution, and mental health.
