Beskrivning

Gender, Crime, and Justice is a unique core textbook that introduces key concepts through case studies. Each chapter opens with a compelling case study that illustrates key concepts, followed by a narrative chapter that builds on the case study to introduce essential elements. Each chapter features pedagogical elements—learning objectives, key terms, review and study questions, and suggestions for further learning and exploration.In addition to the unique case study approach, this book is distinctive in its inclusion of LGBTQ experiences in crime, victimization, processing, and punishment. Gender, Crime, and Justice also addresses masculinity and the role it plays in defining offenders and victims, as well as challenges posed by the gender gap in offending.

Recensioner i media

This book is an innovative pedagogical tool that will definitely enhance students' knowledge of the ways in which gender shapes criminal justice responses to crime and how the justice system shapes people's understandings of gender. There is no other book like it and the authors should be commended for writing this much-needed text.
