Winner of the 2016 Book Award from the American Society of
Criminology, Division of Critical Criminology. In this book, Carrie
L. Buist and Emily Lenning reflect on the origins of Queer
Criminology, survey the foundational research and scholarship in
this emerging field, and offer suggestions for the future. Covering
topics such as the criminalization of queerness; the policing of
Queer communities; Queer experiences in the courtroom; and the
correctional control of Queer people, Queer Criminology synthesizes
the work of criminologists, journalists, legal scholars,
non-governmental organizations, and others to illuminate the
historical and contemporary context of the Queer experience. Queer
Criminology offers examples of the grave injustices that Queer
people face around the world, particularly in places such as
Russia, Kyrgyzstan, England, India, Thailand, Nigeria, and the
United States. These injustices include, but are not limited to,
selective enforcement, coerced confessions, disproportionate
sentencing, rape, extortion, denial of due process, forced
isolation, corporal punishment, and death. By highlighting a
pattern of discriminatory, disproportionate, and abusive treatment
of Queer people by the criminal legal system, this book
demonstrates the importance of developing a criminology that
critiques the heteronormative systems that serve to oppress Queer
people around the world. Buist and Lenning argue that criminology
is incomplete without a thorough recognition and understanding of
these Queer experiences. Therefore, Queer Criminology is a vital
contribution to the growing body of literature exploring the Queer
experience, and should be considered a necessary tool for students,
scholars, and practitioners alike who are seeking a more just
criminal legal system.
