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increasingly caught up in outdated and harmful practices, including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.
