Related study:

Women are more likely to be perceived as victims than men.

Female victims were perceived as experiencing more suffering than male victims.

When women were depicted as perpetrators, they were still perceived as experiencing more suffering.

Participants wanted lighter punishments for female perpetrators than male perpetrators.

Participants were more likely to forgive female perpetrators.

Female participants perceived greater victim suffering than male participants.

Female participants perceived more intentional harm when women were fired than when men were fired, while the inverse was not true for men.

This was not a jury study, but it does provide tangential evidence for a potential psychological mechanism that may contribute to the trends identified in my previous post: Women are perceived as eternal victims who experience more suffering than men even when inflicting suffering upon others. Thus, female victimization elicits harsher punishment and female perpetration receives greater leniency.
