Bank robbing no longer a crime only popular with men
Posted on Feb 20, 2009
Bank robbing is traditionally considered a crime associated with men; women bank robbers are rarely heard of. However, with today’s rough economy, that might be changing.
Nationwide, bank robberies by women are up 25% from 2002. These days 6.2% of bank robberies are committed by women. Law enforcement officers claim that the motivations for female bank robbers differ than the motivations for men. Women tend to be more pragmatic, planning their heists with great care and taking extensive notes.
In addition, women tend to resort to bank robbery as a way to pay bills or get a little extra money. Men, on the other hand, tend to rob banks for the thrill, or to get money for a drug or gambling addiction.
Regardless of the reason for robbing banks, it is a risky business. Since the FBI gets involved in bank robberies, about 75% of all bank robbers are eventually caught. Prison sentences for such robberies can be up to 26 years.
