This fourth edition of the essential volume Gender, Crime and Criminal Justice interrogates the relationship between sex, gender, crime and criminal justice as seen through the eyes of feminist perspectives and masculinity studies.
Centring critical concerns about the dominance of Northern theorising in criminology and victimology, this edition examines implications for both men and women in criminal justice within a global context. Bringing together a range of key issues including theories and concepts in feminist criminology and masculinity studies, it explores what risk, security, safety and fear might look like when seen through these eyes, the empirical data on sexual violences and the policy responses designed to tackle this issue especially within the law and policing. This volume also offers new material concerning:
- Risk, security and safety in the digital world
- Police officer involvement in gender-based violence
- Women only police stations
- Lived experience, criminology and victimology
- Anti-carceral feminism and alternative approaches to justice
- The saliency of gender informed by intersectionality and decolonisation
Brought fully up-to-date and revised throughout, Gender, Crime and Criminal Justice remains the keystone text for anyone studying Criminology, Gender Studies and Law.
This fourth edition of the essential volume Gender, Crime and Criminal Justice interrogates the relationship between sex, gender, crime and criminal justice as seen through the eyes of feminist perspectives and masculinity studies.
