问题       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.
It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes traditional stereotypes of women to be ______.
选项 A、persistently inexplicable
B、potentially harmful
C、rapidly changing
D、habitually disregarded
答案B
解析 从文中最后一句看，对女性的传统看法导致对女青少年干预得更早，她们受不当的监督管理的时间更长。因此可推断作者认为这种看法有害。选项A文中无依据。选项C、D与文中所说的事实不符。
