In a landscape where women's involvement in the criminal justice system still tends to be ignored or lost in discussions about men, contributors place special emphasis on women as both victims and offenders. The chapters cover a wide range of topics relating to women and crime, including: violent and sexual victimisation, violent offending, sentencing and punishment, and rape myths. Since the peak of feminist criminal justice scholarship in the 1990s, the place of women in the criminal justice system has arguably slipped down the agenda and the authors of this collection draw on original research to make the compelling case for a swift remedy to this. Drawing on recent academic studies and professional experience to set an agenda for future research - as well as legal and policy reform - this book injects new life into the dialogue surrounding women and the criminal justice system. Innovative and timely, this collection of essays holds broad appeal to academics and practitioners, as well as students of criminology, criminal justice and law, and all those with an interest in feminism, justice, and inequality--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Female offenders. 650 0 $a Women prisoners. 650 0 $a Women $x Crimes against. 650 0 $a Sex discrimination in criminal justice administration. 650 7 $a Female offenders. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922629 650 7 $a Sex discrimination in criminal justice administration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114396 650 7 $a Women $x Crimes against. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176618 650 7 $a Women prisoners. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178398 700 1 $a Milne, Emma, $e editor. 700 1 $a Brennan, Karen, $e editor. 700 1 $a South, Nigel, $e editor. 700 1 $a Turton, Jackie, $e editor. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9783319767741 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214014444.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=74D9FF04462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
