Teaching about gender, race, social class and sexuality in
criminal justice and criminology classrooms can be challenging.
Professors may face resistance when they ask students to examine
how gender impacts victimization, how race affects interactions
with the police, how socioeconomic status shapes experiences in
court or how sexuality influences treatment in the criminal justice
system. "Teaching Criminology at the Intersection "is an
instructional guide to support faculty as they navigate teaching
these topics.
Bringing together the experience and knowledge of expert
scholars, this book provides time-strapped academics with an
accessible how-to guide for the classroom, where the dynamics and
discrimination of gender, race, class and sexuality demographics
intersect and permeate criminal justice concerns. In the book, the
authors of each chapter discuss how they teach a particular
contemporary criminal justice issue and provide their suggestions
for best practice, while grounding their ideas in pedagogical
theory. Chapters end with a toolkit of recommended activities,
assignments, films, readings or websites.
As a teaching handbook, "Teaching Criminology at the
Intersection" is appropriate reading for graduate level
criminology, criminal justice and women s and gender studies
teaching instruction courses and as background reading and
reference for instructors in these disciplines.
