This research isolates correlates of gender-based bias against female offenders and shows the significance that gender plays in sentencing female sexual perpetrators. Survey data, in addition to vignettes, include stigma scales adapted from Kruis and Choi (2020) and the Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale from Payne et al. (1999). The scales were adapted to capture individual bias, rape myth beliefs, and gender-based stereotypes that influence the acceptance of sex offenders, specifically those with underage victims.
