The Routledge Companion to Gender and Crime offers a comprehensive, intersectional, and global exploration of gender and crime, addressing patterns of offending and victimization, criminal justice system challenges, and the evolving role of gender in criminal justice worldwide.This edited collection will help readers gain an understanding of the intersectional and global dynamics of gender and crime, including offending and victimization patterns, justice system challenges, and professional practices. It examines gendered differences in criminal processing, sentencing, and supervision, and touches upon contemporary issues that practitioners face related to gender and sexuality, such as gender and health in prisons. The book delivers this through chapters written by experts, integrating cutting-edge research, real-world applications, and diverse perspectives to address contemporary issues in criminology and criminal justice. This handbook expands upon existing works to include a background on gender and crime, theories related to gendered victimization and offending, and the importance of intersectionality.The Routledge Companion to Gender and Crime will be of interest to both undergraduate and graduate students in criminology and criminal justice programs, as well as researchers and educators in gender, politics, and sociology.

Recensioner i media

"Much of this handbook's overall value lies in how, by comprehensively addressing issues of gender and power inequalities, it combines internationalism with intersectionality. Its internationalism is displayed in chapters on Africa, Asia, Australia, the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, North America, Oceania, and South America, written by scholars from those regions. Its intersectionality highlights how factors such as race, class, and sexuality (including those facing non-binary and transgender individuals) affect people's realities and identities in the criminal justice system. The handbook is especially attentive to both the variety of relevant theoretical perspectives and to underresearched issues, such as the criminalization of girls, child marriage in Ghana, and pregnancy before and after Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization (2022). It is, quite simply, a landmark volume."- Piers Beirne, Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Legal Studies, University of Southern Maine, USA.
