Pink Collar Crimes

Tweet

I just finished watching a show on CBS, called "Pink Collar Crimes". If you didn't guess, it's about women who commit crimes. They say crimes committed by women are on the rise. This episode featured a woman whom one might call a "soccer mom". She got addicted to a narcotic after she had a Cesarean for her fifth child. To finance that she stole about $4,000 from her job before she got caught. They fired her, but instead of calling the police, they told her she could pay it off monthly. Her husband had no clue about their finances because she always handled them. Long story short, she robbed 3 banks, but used a fake gun in the first robbery. She felt so badly about scaring everyone that she just gave a note to the tellers after that, demanding money. The reaction of the teller in the 3rd heist made me laugh. She rolled her eyes, and put the money in the bag very slowly. That takes guts! She got 3 years and 8 months because she had no history of crimes, and never used violent force. Her husband divorced her while she was in prison, but she has since remarried. Her family was interviewed, and all of them spoke about how shocked they were. At the end of the episode the lady was even able to laugh about it. Did anyone else see this episode? Could you, at any time, laugh about it? I could never laugh, or even think about committing a crime. I would feel way too guilty. She did, in the end, confess as soon as she was stopped after robbing the last bank. What do you think?
