Abstract
This study examines gender differences in the criminal justice processing of defendants in Argentina. The Argentinian charter of rights guarantees a number of criminal procedure rights for individuals accused of crimes.

Women’s treatment may be the result of paternalism or a product of a double-sanction imposed on women who violate traditional gender roles.
