Gender Entrapment Theory in relation to Crime and Race

Gender Entrapment Theory is included in the Encyclopedia of Race and Crime (1), beginning with: Gender entrapment theory is a specific micro-level theory that attempts to explain the involvement of battered African American women in crime. Gender entrapment directly refers to the process that African American women who commit illegal activities undergo in response to the threat of violence they receive from their intimate male partners. According to this theory, throughout the gender entrapment process, the African American woman experiences an identity shift (from one of privilege that stems from her household of origin to one of an absence of privilege in her intimate relationship). This identity shift is accelerated because of the violence she is threatened with and/or experiences at the hands of her male partner, ultimately resulting in her participation in illegal activities (such as prostitution, arson or property damage, drug use, or, in the most extreme cases, the killing of one’s own intimate partner or children).
