1. A case in point is Felson's (1996, 2002) recent analyses of female violence and victimization. He reduces gender differences in victimization rates to biologically based issues of size and strength. Simply, women are small and weak, so they do not fi ght and are likely to be attacked. Such analyses are reductionistic and do not offer insight into the complex nature of violence.
