Feminists used to claim that the criminal justice system was biased against women. Research shows that the reverse is true.

Men are discriminated against at every state of the criminal justice process.

All else being equal men are more likely than women to

• Men are more likely to be a suspect
• Men are more likely to be arrested
• Men are more likely to be charged
• Men are more likely to be convicted
• Men are more likely to receive a custodial sentence
• Men receive longer custodial sentences than women for similar crimes
