Bringing together the most current research on the relationship
between crime and gender in the West between 1600 and 1914, this
authoritative volume places female criminality within its everyday
context. It reveals how their socio-economic and cultural contexts
provided women with 'agency' against a range of European backdrops,
despite a fundamentally patriarchal criminal justice system, and
includes in-depth analysis of original sources to show how changing
living standards, employment, schooling and welfare arrangements
had a direct impact on the quality of life of working class women,
their risk of becoming involved in crime, and the likelihood of
being prosecuted for it. Rather than treating women's criminality
as always exceptional, this study draws out the similarities
between female and male criminality, demonstrating how an
understanding of specific cultural and socio-economic contexts is
essential to explain female criminality, both why their criminal
patterns changed, and how their crimes were represented by
contemporaries.
