Description

A comprehensive introduction places the gathered material in its historical and intellectual context. Volume I traces the emergence and development of the gender agenda within criminology, identifying its strengths and weaknesses, while Volume II brings together the best thinking on the various ways in which different crimes—and experiences of crime—might be informed by a gendered perspective. Volume III, meanwhile, focuses on the criminal-justice system and the professionals engaged within it. Does the question of gender help to make better sense of how it does its work? The final volume collection collects the key literature on the extent to which prisons, community penalties, and restorative justice reflect gendered presumptions.
