One of the responses to deal with female criminality was to argue about that female accused past victimization and it was relevant in determining if they acted in self defence. An attempt to make dp work in respect to women criminality but this did not change much in the court systems. Most of them did not qualify for the battered women and self-defence. !2: phase 2: where there was acute and unpredictable battering that involved lack of control, phase 3: kindness; loving behaviour from the spouse who was battering.
