Gender differences in criminal sentencing

In the article I read by Fernando Rodriguez, he discusses that females have an advantage with gender when it comes to sentencing. He talked about a study where they found that females will either get less or no prison time for smaller crimes compared to males who most likely do receive prison time. For larger crimes like murder females still receiciebed less prison time than men.
