Addresses female offenders (why is the behaviour of female offenders considered to be derivative of men?), female victims, control of women and girls, masculinity and crime and international perspectives.
Focusing explicitly on questions of gender and crime, Evans and Jamieson guide the reader through a range of classic and groundbreaking studies, highlighting key contributions and debates and providing an indication of the new directions an engendered criminology may take us in coming years.
This engaging reader is divided into five sections, mapping the theoretical, empirical, and practical developments that have endeavoured to identify the ways in which gender informs criminology. Issues addressed by the readings include:
- Female offending
- Gendered patterns of victimisation
- The gendered nature of social control
- Masculinity and crime
- Placing gender in an international context
Gender and Crime is key reading for students of criminology, criminal justice and gender studies.
