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 crimal 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.
This field study features intensive personal interviews of more than four hundred young people who have left home and school and are living on the streets of Toronto and Vancouver. The study examines why youth take to the streets, their struggles to survive there, their victimization and involvement in crime, their associations with other street youth, especially within "street families," their contacts with the police, and their efforts to rejoin conventional society. Major theories of youth crime are analyzed and reappraised in the context of a new social capital theory of crime.

A searing examination of the long history of police misconduct and
political corruption in Chicago that produced the city's current
racial reckoning Chicago faces a racial reckoning. For over 50
years, Chicago Mayors Richard J. and Richard M. Daley were at the
helm of a law-and-order dynasty that disadvantaged predominantly
Black and Brown neighborhoods and covered up heinous crimes against
Black men. During his 1980-2012 tenure as State's Attorney and
Mayor, Richard M. Daley (son of Richard J. Daley) led a law
enforcement bureaucracy which permitted police detective John Burge
to supervise the torture of over 100 Black men on Chicago's South
and West Sides. Misguided policies on "gangs, guns, and drugs,"
support for a racialized code of silence and police misconduct, and
a lack of meaningful punishment, have ensured that these leaders'
effects on Chicago are still sorely felt. In this book, John Hagan,
Bill McCarthy, and Daniel Herda confront the complicated history of
race, politics, and policing in Chicago to explain how crime works
from the top-down through urban political machines and the elite
figures who dominate them. The authors argue that the Daleys' law
enforcement system worked largely to benefit and protect White
residential areas and business districts while excluding Black and
Brown Chicagoans and concentrating them in highly segregated
neighborhoods. The stark contradiction between the promise "to
serve and protect" and the realities of hyper-segregation and mass
incarceration created widespread cynicism about policing that
remains one of the most persistent problems of contemporary Chicago
law enforcement. By holding a sociological lens up to the history
of this quintessential American city, Chicago's Reckoning reveals
new insights into the politics of crime and how, until we come to
terms with our history and the racial and economic divisions it
created, these dynamics will continue to shape our national life.
