According to Comack and Brickey's (2007) research on gender differences and crime perception,women who commit violent acts are generally constructed as either

A) "victims," "sad," or "mad."
B) "victims," "bad," or "manipulative."
C) "victims," "bad," or "mad."
D) "bad," "mad," or "sad."

According to the research, women who commit violent acts are generally constructed as "victims," "bad," or "mad." This means that they are often seen as having some level of victimization or vulnerability, yet also being responsible for their violent behavior and potentially unstable or mentally ill. The option of "sad" is not included in the research findings.
