In this book, Kerry Carrington takes a bold, critical and
reflexive approach to understanding the global divisions and
inequalities that shape distinctive patterns of gender and
crime.
The book argues that for feminism to enhance its conceptual and
political relevance in the 21st century requires bold new
directions in feminist thinking about gender, crime and global
justice, which take into account global divisions and inequalities.
Issues explored in the book include the forced marriage of child
brides, female genital mutilation, feminicide, honour crimes, rape
and domestic violence, and the systemic denial of female rights
justified by religion, custom or culture. It also explores rising
rates of violence recorded for women offenders globally, and their
increasing participation in terrorism, as well as troubling
male-on-male violence in anomic spaces cultivated by globalising
forces.
"
Feminism and Global Justice" argues that the world needs
feminism more than ever to address systemic culturally shaped and
diverse forms of injustice experienced by females across the globe,
many of them children. It will be essential reading for
international and national human rights organisations, as well as
academics and students engaged in the study of criminology,
development studies, sociology, politics, and gender studies.
