Female juveniles typically serve longer terms in institutions than male juveniles despite the fact that females generally have committed less serious crimes. Part of the reason for this is that   
A) the longer the youth is locked up, the more likely they are able to reform. 
B) young women are brought to the attention of the courts primarily because of precocious sexuality, which the male-dominated legal system finds much more threatening in girls than in boys. 
C) young females tend to commit crimes of a violent nature. 
D) sexually active young women are locked away with no hope of reforming them while sexually active men are seen as sowing their wild oats. 
E) the sexist image that women are weaker and therefore are less easily  reformed than men.
