explores the competing and contradictory understandings of violence
against women and men’s responsibility, situating these within
the personal and political intersections of neoliberal and
‘postfeminist’ imperatives of individualisation, choice, and
empowerment. explores themes of responsibility for violence, and
the social and legal consequences that men and women uniquely or
differently encounter. examines the politicised claims regarding
the ‘responsibility’ of men and women as both victims and
offenders in intimate relationships. deploying a range of
interdisciplinary approaches, it utilises a blend of cultural
theory and psychosocial analysis to offer an account of the
infiltration of postfeminist and neoliberal sensibilities of
individualism and responsibilisation in the social, legal, and
interpersonal imaginary. makes contributions to several fields,
such as the current public policy initiatives to hold men
accountable for violence against women; understanding public
attitudes to violence against women; and contextualising the
challenges faced by a number of feminist reforms that seek to
address these issues. An accessible and compelling read, Gender,
Homicide, and the Politics of Responsibility will appeal to
students and scholars of criminology, sociology, gender studies and
those interested in understanding the debates surrounding violence
against women, violence by women, and the social construction of
responsibility and responsibilisation.

Crime, Deviance and Society: An Introduction to Sociological
Criminology offers a comprehensive introduction to criminological
theory. The book introduces readers to key sociological theories,
such as anomie and strain, and examines how traditional approaches
have influenced the ways in which crime and deviance are
constructed. It provides a nuanced account of contemporary theories
and debates, and includes chapters covering feminist criminology,
critical masculinities, cultural criminology, green criminology,
and postcolonial theory, among others. Case studies in each chapter
demonstrate how sociological theories can manifest within and
influence the criminal justice system and social policy. Each
chapter also features margin definitions and timelines of
contributions to key theories, reflection questions and
end-of-chapter questions that prompt students reflection. Written
by an expert team of academics from Australia, New Zealand and the
United Kingdom, Crime, Deviance and Society is a highly engaging
and accessible introduction to the field for students of
criminology and criminal justice.
