Bonnie Parker However, DCI Andy Hebb, the second-in-command on the inquiry team, was unimpressed by Carr’s tearful performance in the witness box, and remained convinced that she must have had her suspicions about what Huntley had done. “Rather cynically is how I view it,” he told the Observer in December 2003. His view, so publicly expressed, fed into the general vilification of Carr in the press.

This is undeniably still present to this day. The evolution of society has begun to attempt to fracture the seemingly undetachable inherently negative characteristics from the female being. This liberation is far from complete and still continues to silence women. Portraying any deviation from the perfect subordinate being as other and villainous. Social oppression through forms such as stereotypes, social activities and instinctual responses to situations dehumanises many women across the world but is also allows males to use this as a reason behind their controlling behaviour (Smart & Smart, 1978). They control these women under the pretence that they are fulfilling their right and duty to ensure that standards imposed upon women are being met. It’s not only controlling manipulative men that are imposing these standards. The court of law may not be physically beating these women into submission but they are restricting their agency. The legal system specifically holds a stereotypical view of the family, this belief seeps into other institutions within the country (Eaton, 1986). They impose sanctions on the basis of conformity and expose and exploit any deviation from the submissive female model. These institutions homogenise the female eradicating any sense of diversity.

Rutter, N. and Barr, U. (2021). ‘Being a ‘good woman’: Stigma, relationships and desistance’, Probation Journal, 68(2), pp. 166-185. Men enter the pantheon of monsters more often than women; but convicted killers who do not belong to the dominant culture are more likely to be mythologised. The imprisonment of Myra Hindley came to stand for more than simple punishment for an abhorrent crime; her long incarceration symbolised our fear of returning to a more primitive past. In an increasingly secular world, a woman like Hindley is the vessel into which society pours its dark secrets; like a war criminal, such a “she-devil” is a reminder of what is horribly possible. Elizabeth Ellis didn't have a full licence or insurance, which attracted the attention of a motor patrol officer at Moor Farm, Cramlington, when she drove past on Sunday, January 30.

This is an edited extract from Eve Was Shamed: How British Justice Is Failing Women by Helena Kennedy, published by Chatto & Windus on 11 October and available at guardianbookshop.com Qualitative researchers have access to special cases that they can use. This could result in well chosen examples being used to prove a specific theory (Silverman,2013). Taking this into account is highly important as each researcher has an underline bias that may compromise their findings. To gain full understanding of why these women kill interviews would be exceptionally helpful.

The 1970s and 80s saw many politically active women coming before the courts, due to their involvement in anti-nuclear campaigns such as the women’s peace camp at Greenham Common, or feminist demonstrations such as Reclaim the Night and Women’s Right to Choose on abortion. These public campaigns echoed the suffragette campaigns of the beginning of the century. The response of the court had changed remarkably little, and many of these women voiced criticisms of the patronising and paternalistic nature of the system very similar to those of the suffragettes. New research concludes that the differences in sentencing for men and women are due to gender stereotyping of defendants in court. Protective, paternalistic attitudes of male judges towards female defendants seem to be a key reason for the more lenient punishments handed to women.
