Women who commit violent crime 13 August 2008
What needs to be done?

A recent Ministry of Justice report shows that more women in England and Wales are being arrested for committing violent attacks than ever before. An estimated 240 women are arrested daily for violent crime, double the number from 2004. Jenni is joined by Susan Batchelor, lecturer in criminology from the University of Glasgow and Juliet Lyon, director of the Prison Reform Trust, to discuss the causes for this and what needs to be done about it.
