Abstract
This Article explores female gang violence. It argues that girls have a biological capacity for aggression. As social conditions worsen and commercial feminism sexualizes female violence, more girls will turn to violent gang activity as they compete with each other for status, resources, and male attention. The criminal justice system should not differentiate between male and female violence, although preventative programs ought to be gender specific. The Article concludes that women academics both compete and cooperate in ways similar to girl gangs. This Article is written with references to popular culture in an attempt to break down the barriers that separate those in the academy from those about whom we write.
