Women, Crime and Criminal Justice is the winner of the Division of
International Criminology's Distinguished Book Award 2014 and the
Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences International Section's 2015
Outstanding Book Award and the first fully internationalised book
to focus on women as offenders, victims and justice professionals.
It provides background, as well as specialized information that
allows readers to comprehend the global forces that shape women and
crime; analyze different types of violence against women (in
peacetime and in armed conflict); and grasp the challenges faced by
women in justice professions such as the police, the judiciary and
international peacekeeping. Provocative, highly topical, engaging
and written by an expert in the field, this book examines the role
of women in crime and criminal justice internationally. Topics
covered include: the role of globalization and development in
patterns of female offending and victimization, how a human rights
framework can help explain womens crime, victimization and the
criminal justice response, global women's activism, international
perspectives on violence against women, including femicide,
violence in conflict and post conflict settings, sex work and sex
trafficking, women's access to justice, as well as the increased
role of women in international criminal justice settings. This book
will be essential reading for those involved in the study of
development, human rights, governance, security sector reform,
international relations and public health, as debates about these
subjects are intrinsically linked to the issues surrounding women,
crime and justice. It will also be useful for students taking
courses on gender, crime and criminal justice, violence against
women, international criminal justice and gender studies.
