Eye-opening perspectives on antisemitism trends, history, research, and solutions Antisemitism and Jew Hatred: Psychological Perspectives helps readers understand the underlying factors and motivations that contribute to the perpetuation of antisemitism and its contemporary manifestations through an examination of individual and group dynamics, cognitive and affective processes, social influences, and organizational practices. Synthesizing empirical research, theoretical approaches, historical analysis, current trends, and lived experiences, this book provides an understanding of the psychological drivers of antisemitism and helps tailor interventions to target specific attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors associated with anti-Jewish prejudice and discrimination. Written by leading scholars, many of whom are also clinicians, the book methodically navigates the multifaceted nature of antisemitism and its diverse forms and impacts. Each chapter includes empirical research, relevant theoretical frameworks, and implications for education, research, training, and clinical practice. Antisemitism and Jew Hatred serves as a valuable resource for scholars, educators, students, and practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of antisemitism and engage with discourse on prejudice, hate, and diversity.

Reveals how gender intersects with race, class, and sexual orientation in ways that impact the legal status and well-being of women and girls in the justice system. Women and girls' contact with the justice system is often influenced by gender-related assumptions and stereotypes. The justice practices of the past 40 years have been largely based on conceptual principles and assumptions—including personal theories about gender—more than scientific evidence about what works to address the specific needs of women and girls in the justice system. Because of this, women and girls have limited access to equitable justice and are increasingly caught up in outdated and harmful practices, including the net of the criminal justice system. Gender, Psychology, and Justice uses psychological research to examine the experiences of women and girls involved in the justice system. Their experiences, from initial contact with justice and court officials, demonstrate how gender intersects with race, class, and sexual orientation to impact legal status and well-being. The volume also explains the role psychology can play in shaping legal policy, ranging from the areas of corrections to family court and drug court. Gender, Psychology, and Justice provides a critical analysis of girls' and women's experiences in the justice system. It reveals the practical implications of training and interventions grounded in psychological research, and suggests new principles for working with women and girls in legal settings.
