This accessible book introduces the key concepts and theoretical
developments of queer criminology and explains what they mean for
modern criminal justice frameworks and practitioners. The book sets
out experiences of the LGBTQ+ population as victims, offenders and
professionals in legal systems in the US and internationally and
explores what they mean for elements of those systems including
police, courts, corrections and victims’ services. It is both a
useful reference point for academics, students and professionals
and a guide to how queer criminology can be theoretically applied
and practically implemented in the worlds of policing, courts,
corrections, and victims' services.

Over the last few decades, there has been a marked increase in
media and debate surrounding a specific group of offences in modern
Democratic nations which bear the brunt of the label 'crimes
against morality'. Included within this group are offences related
to prostitution and pornography, homosexuality and incest and child
sexual abuse. This book examines the nexus between sex, crime and
morality from a theoretical perspective. This is the first academic
text to offer an examination and analysis of the philosophical
underpinnings of sex-related crimes and social attitudes towards
them and the historical, anthropological and moral reasons for
differentiating these crimes in contemporary western culture. The
book is divided into three sections corresponding to three
theoretical frameworks: Part 1 examines the moral temporality of
sex and taboo as a foundation for legislation governing sex crimes
Part 2 focuses on the geography of sex and deviance, specifically
notions of public morality and the public private divide Part 3
examines the moral economy of sex and harm, including the social
construction of harm. Sex, Crime and Morality will be key reading
for students of criminology, criminal justice, gender studies and
ethics, and will also be of interest to justice professionals.
This cutting-edge book examines the unique issues that
transgender identities face globally in the criminal processing
system through empirical and theoretical contributions. The
contributing authors range from established transgender scholars,
transgender equality rights activists, transgender policy
influencers, researchers from non-profit groups, and former
criminal justice practitioners. The book covers
many under-developed issues for transgender
identities like criminalization, victimization, court
experiences, law enforcement and the policing of gender, the school
to prison pipeline, and incarceration. It provides
a significant advancement in queer criminology and trans
studies globally.
Queer criminological work is at the forefront of critical academic
criminology, responding to the exclusion of queer communities from
criminology, and the injustices that they experience through the
criminal justice system. This volume draws together both
theoretical and empirical contributions that develop the growing
scholarship being produced at the intersection of 'queer' and
'criminology'. Reflecting the diversity of research that is
undertaken at this intersection, the contributions to this volume
offer a deeper theoretical and conceptual development of this field
alongside empirical research that illustrates the continued
relevance and urgency of such scholarship. The contributions
consider what it means to be queering criminology in the current
political, social, and criminological climate, and chart directions
along which this field might develop in order to ensure that
greater social and criminal justice for LGBTIQ communities is
achieved.
