Crime appears to be the price individuals pay for living in a social environment. For centuries, trained researchers and casual observers have endeavored to determine why. One of the most persistent answers is biological. Numerous investigations have focused on whether or not criminal behavior is transmitted from father to son. While results have been inconclusive, one thing has remained constant--only males have been researched. The criminal behavior of fathers and sons has been the subject of intense inquiry; however, females have been largely ignored. This seems problematic since criminal males do not always produce just male offspring. This book represents a case study conducted to determine if female children possess the same degree of probability for criminal behavior as their male counterparts do and whether or not mothers, not fathers, may actually be the primary contributor of influence on criminal activity in a family. It is hoped that this research will open the door for further investigation into the increased delinquent, arrest, and incarceration rates that females have been experiencing over the past twenty years.
