Female Crime, first published in 1987, surveys the major schools of
criminology in order to explore the images of the female offender
which underpin many contemporary crime theories. In reveals the
ways in which male-centred norms dominated much analysis, and how
crude stereotypes of women were a common attribute to the armoury
of criminological research. Although feminists and other
researchers are directing increasing attention to criminology, this
was one of the first attempts to deploy feminist analyses developed
within other disciplines to examine critically the range of modern
criminological theories on women. Its findings demonstrate the
importance of a program to create a new feminist criminology which
recognises the female offender as a reasoning, purposeful subject.
This title will be of interest to students of criminology.
