Crimes of Women
            
             For years studies of women's deviance were limited to
            
             prostitution and other kinds of sexual deviance thought to be
            
             typical female offences. It soon became apparent that not all
            
             women offenders fit this stereotype and that women were involved
            
             in a wide variety of criminal activities. In addition to
            
             prostitution, drug offences and homicide are the most frequent
            
             offences involving women...
            
             Down in history, Asian American, African Americans and Latin
            
             American women met the high demand for prostitution.
            
             This happened around the 1880's through the 1920's for the Black
            
             and Asian because a lot were migrating to the slums from their
            
             native homeland or for blacks deep down in the south.
            
             The sexual demands of white men doubled in Chinatowns and tripled
            
             in Black ghettos across the nation.
            
             Again this is because of the poverty and crime rate because there
            
             were little or no jobs in the area. Most of them were single with
            
             children and had no means of support, but to sell their bodies
            
             for money.
            
             In 1986, the last year for the Uniform Crime Reports included
            
             Hispanic arrest. Blacks and Latinos were the only two races of
            
             color arrested for prostitution,(Young, 1986).
            
             One possible explanation for this unbalanced number for
            
             prostitution of minorities is that their sometimes forced to work
            
             the streets.
            
             Many things such as abandonment, neglect, verbal attacks,
            
             parental problems with alcohol and drugs, physical and sexual
            
             abuse,(Chesney-Lind 1997).
            
             "Streetwalkers" not only increase the possibility of contact
            
             with cops but also introduce police harassment and racial
            
             bias,(Garland,1981).
            
             Streetwalkers are mainly poor living day to day.
            
             On the other there are also call-girls. Call-girls are high class
            
             prostitutes who barely get caught.
            
             Many are white who have college degrees and are from middle class
            
             backgrounds ...
