Shani D'Cruze and Louise A. Jackson provide students with a lively
overview of women's relationship to the criminal justice system in
England, exploring key debates in the regulation of 'respectable'
and 'deviant' femininities over the last four centuries. Major
issues include: * attitudes towards murder and infanticide *
prostitution * the decline of witchcraft belief * sexual violence *
the 'girl delinquent' * theft and fraud The volume also examines
women's participation in illegal forms of protest and political
activism, their experience of penal regimes as well as strategies
of resistance, and their involvement in occupations associated with
criminal justice itself. Assuming that men and women cannot be
studied in isolation, D'Cruze and Jackson make reference to recent
studies of masculinity and comment on the ways in which relations
between men and women have been understood and negotiated across
time. Featuring examples drawn from a rich range of sources such as
court records, autobiographies, literature and film, this is an
ideal introduction to an increasingly popular area of study.
