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. . Evans and Jamiesons powerful concluding
chapter clearly sets out the achievements and the challenges that
the gender and crime question has posed for criminology. They argue
that unless the question of gender remains at the forefront of
criminological endeavours, criminology will fail to offer an agenda
informed by an understanding of social justice that strives to be
attentive to both victims and offenders, whether they be male or
female.
. . "Gender and Crime" is key reading for students of
criminology, criminal justice and gender studies.
