Even as the number of females processed through juvenile courts climbs steadily, an implicit agreement remains among scholars in criminal justice that young males define the delinquency problem in the United States. We suggest two reasons why this view persists. First, young females are accused primarily of victimless crimes, such as truancy, that do not involve clear-cut damage to persons or property. If c0mmitted by adults, these actions are not even considered prosecutable; if committed by young males, they have traditionally been looked on leniently by the courts. Thus, ironically, the difficult conditions of female delinquents receive little attention because they are accused of committing relatively minor offenses. Second, the courts have long justified so-called preventive intervention into the lives of young females viewed as antisocial with the reasoning that women are especially vulnerable. Traditional ideas of women as the weaker and more dependent sex have led to earlier intervention and longer periods of misdirected supervision for female delinquents than for males.
Which of the following best expresses the irony pointed out by the author of the passage?
选项
A、Male delinquents receive more attention than females because males are accused of more serious crimes.
B、Adults are frequently punished less severely than adolescents for committing more serious crimes.
C、The juvenile justice system cannot correct its prejudice because it does not even recognize them.
D、Although the number of female delinquents is steadily increasing, the crimes of which they are accused are not particularly serious.
答案
C
解析
文中谈到虽然女青少年被起诉的人数逐年上升,却由于她们所犯的罪较轻,她们的处境没有引起足够的重视。司法部门对待男女青少年罪犯的标准不一,以采取预防措施保护作为弱者的女性为依据,而且还没有意识到所持的偏见。作者认为,这点是最具讽刺意味的。选项A与事实相符。选项B文中未涉及。选项D与文中所说事实相符。故答案为C。
