In this dissertation, current approaches to the study of Gender1 as a social science construct are assessed. Specifically, data is collected through a content analysis of peer reviewed journals in three social science disciplines. This content analysis focuses on the conceptual and operational definitions of Gender currently being used in the social sciences. Data from this content analysis are then used to develop a more inclusivestrategy for studying Gender, as well as its relationship to important criminological constructs such as crime and delinquency. Gender is one of the most fundamental constructs in human existence (Williams, 1999). Gender has influenced every culture, at every level of social organization,throughout history. It is nearly impossible for any individual to navigate their waymthrough any modern society without taking Gender into consideration. Most of us experience the pervasiveness of Gender throughout our lives.
