It was a believe that shoplifting was a female crime as most shoppers are women. In Week eight’s note, there were 284 prosecutions for shoplifting between 1890 and 1940.

Are there people that train them and/or plan together to execute this act? During this period, women were viewed as the weak ones. I believe that men were part of the team who plan this act, but, it was the ladies job to execute it. The women can go into the shop to shoplift while the man/men stay in the car to wait for them to come out and quickly drive off. The men can also stay in a corner to collect the goods from the ladies and each party go in a different direction. In the shoplifting case, the goods were not found. What must have happened to it within just few hours after the incident occurred? Probably there was someone else they handed the goods over to after leaving the

Both women pretend, for some time, to be male pirates. The reading does not mention the women having many difficulties living as men. This makes me wonder how the social norms of women and men became so different. If women could do the same tasks as men then why were they treated differently? I also wonder how many other women pretended to be men and for what reasons.
There’s a better and safer alternative to handle that situation for catching an employee stealing clothes from the company. The employee could have told the manager or the boss what was happening.

Harold Shipman, born on January 14, 1946 he was known also as the murder doctor. He was given that nickname because he had killed over 250 patients with lethal injection. They only know the names of 15 people that Dr. Shipman has killed. “He was exercising the ultimate power of controlling life and death, and repeated the act so often he must have found the drama of taking life to his taste.” Harold Shipman, one of the most prolific serial killers in recorded history, is proven by the number of people he killed, his method of operation and his mental instability.
15. What aid was given to Mrs. Hatter by store
“Her husband is torn from her…hang her up bare in these dens of robbery and murder” (Document A). Women were degraded in saloons; saloon-keepers would hang pictures of naked women and strip them of everything they had. There was a group of women called the Women’s Christian Temperance Union; these women chose self-restraint from all alcohol for their life time.

In Susan Glaspell's 1916 play ‘Trifles”, the absent character, Minnie Wright is suspected of killing her husband, though there is no clear-cut motive available to the County Attorney or Sheriff. We are introduced to both the crime and the suspect through the eyes of those present to investigate the crime and the wives there to gather personal items for her. In the statement given by Hale, we are advised that Mrs. Wright seems incoherent or dazed upon his encounter with her. Hale further states, when he inquired of her husband, Mrs, Wright showed no emotion or concern at the notification of her husband’s death.
The story opens with Mrs. Wright imprisoned for strangling her husband. A group, the mostly composed of men, travel to the Wright house in the hopes that they find incriminating evidence against Mrs. Wright. Instead, the two women of the group discover evidence of Mr. Wright’s abuse of his wife. Through the women’s unique perspective, the reader glimpses the reality of the situation and realizes that, though it seemed unreasonable at the time, Mrs. Wright had carefully calculated her actions. When asked about the Wrights, one of the women, Mrs. Hale, replies “I don’t think a place would be a cheerful for John Wright’s being in it” (“A Jury of Her Peers” 7).
