No criminological research has yet examined how embodied interaction in a particular local in school, gendered milieu, may be related to engaging in sexual offenses by adolescent girls outside school boundaries. Additionally, studies of adolescent sexual offending by girls are appallingly gender and sexuality blind; no research considers the impact of both gender and sexuality on such girls. This work seeks to remedy these two crucial oversights by scrutinizing the movement from having been bullied to engaging specifically in outside-school sexual offenses, and how this social process is related specifically to embodied heterofemininities by adolescent girls.
