"Relying on recent work by a virtual who's who in the study of
gender and crime, this book does exactly what is needed to
significantly advance our thinking about the structure of the
gender-crime nexus."
--Valerie Jenness, coauthor of Making Hate a Crime: From Social
Movement to Law Enforcement
"Gender and Crime is an exceptionally strong collection that
focuses on the deep intersection of criminological theory and
gendered violence. Through multiple lenses of sociological inquiry,
this volume gifts us with a wealth of new perspectives on gendered
violence."
--Jeffrey Fagan, co-editor of "The Changing Borders of Juvenile
Justice: Transfer of Adolescents to the Criminal Court "
While rates of violent victimization have declined, women are
still much more likely than men to be attacked by an intimate
partner. Simultaneously, women's involvement in the criminal
justice system, as arrestees and sentenced offenders, is
increasing. Criminologists are struggling to understand these
patterns of offending and victimization and how they can be
prevented. Composed of original contributions by many of the top
scholars in criminology, these essays will help to transform our
understanding of women's relation to crime.
