Research on gender, sex, and crime today remains focused on topics
that have been a mainstay of the field for several decades, but it
has also recently expanded to include studies from a variety of
disciplines, a growing number of countries, and on a wider range of
crimes. The Oxford Handbook of Gender, Sex, and Crime reflects this
growing diversity and provides authoritative overviews of current
research and theory on how gender and sex shape crime and criminal
justice responses to it. The editors, Rosemary Gartner and Bill
McCarthy, have assembled a diverse cast of criminologists,
historians, legal scholars, psychologists, and sociologists from a
number of countries to discuss key concepts and debates central to
the field. The Handbook includes examinations of the historical and
contemporary patterns of women's and men's involvement in crime; as
well as biological, psychological, and social science perspectives
on gender, sex, and criminal activity. Several essays discuss the
ways in which sex and gender influence legal and popular reactions
to crime. An important theme throughout The Handbook is the
intersection of sex and gender with ethnicity, class, age, peer
groups, and community as influences on crime and justice.
Individual chapters investigate both conventional topics - such as
domestic abuse and sexual violence - and topics that have only
recently drawn the attention of scholars - such as human
trafficking, honor killing, gender violence during war, state rape,
and genocide. The Oxford Handbook of Gender, Sex, and Crime offers
an unparalleled and comprehensive view of the connections among
gender, sex, and crime in the United States and in many other
countries. Its insights illuminate both traditional areas of study
in the field and pathways for developing cutting-edge research
questions.
