Criminalizing women has become all too frequent in these neoliberal
times. Meanwhile, poverty, racism and misogyny continue to frame
criminalized women's lives. Criminalizing Women introduces the key
issues addressed by feminists engaged in criminology research over
the past four decades. The contributors explore how narratives that
construct women as errant females, prostitutes, street gang
associates and symbols of moral corruption mask the connections
between women's restricted choices and the conditions of their
lives. The book shows how women have been surveilled, disciplined,
managed, corrected and punished, and it considers the feminist
strategies that have been used to address the impact of
imprisonment and to draw attention to the systemic abuses against
poor and racialized women. In addition to updating material in the
introductions and substantive chapters, this second edition
includes new contributions that consider the media representations
of missing and murdered women in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, the
gendered impact of video surveillance technologies (cctv), the role
of therapeutic interventions in the death of Ashley Smith, the
progressive potential of the Inside/Out Prison Exchange Program and
the use of music and video as decolonizing strategies.
This book is a collection of critical readings that animate
contemporary sociological theory and research. Students will learn
how sociology can be relevant in their everyday lives as they are
introduced to scholars who challenge conventional thinking about
how the world works. Designed as a companion reader for
introductory sociology students, each reading is set in context
with clear linkages to Joanne Naiman s How Societies Work. Students
will read about racial profiling, wrongful convictions, homophobia,
human trafficking, professional sports, sweatshop labour, and
residential schools. Each chapter illustrates how sociologists
think about social inequality, power, and social transformation."
The tension between traditionalist legal theories that maintain
that the law dispenses justice in an impartial fashion and critical
theories that maintain that the law reproduces gender, race, and
class inequalities provides a context for this investigation into
law's complicity in perpetuating disparities. Police reports,
prosecuting lawyer reports, memos, interviews with defense lawyers,
sentencing reports, and other primary sources from Canadian violent
crime cases illustrate the prejudicial strategies used in
litigation. Linguistic nuances that describe a neighborhood
celebration as a "birthday party" or a "drinking binge" are among
the ways stereotypes are perpetuated. This analysis raises
questions about how the law can be applied to realize a more just
society.
