`This is a very impressive piece of thorough scholarship. It is an
important book that highlights the need to consider gender when
developing policies to respond to interpersonal violence. It is
written in a clear and accessible style and should be required
reading for all criminal justice students.' - Dr Malcolm Cowburn,
Sheffield Hallam University This comprehensive text provides an
overview of the relationship between violence, gender, crime and
justice. It brings together theory with contemporary cases to
enable the reader to understand the key concepts, issues and
connections involved. Enlightening and accessible, the book
examines the experiences and treatment of men and women as victims
and criminals. It explores whether and how offending patterns
differ according to gender, and investigates the connections
between gender, offending and victimisation. The book covers
different types of inter-personal violence including sexual
violence, 'domestic' violence, 'domestic' murder, male-on-male
violence and child abuse. It explores how sexual and 'domestic'
violence have been represented in the media, in the law and in
criminal justice processes. Not only does the book present a
comprehensive introduction to the field, it also offers reflective
questions at the end of each chapter to enable the reader to
integrate and interrogate the material covered. Chapter summaries
and annotated bibliographies enhance the learning process by
helping students to consolidate and further investigate key points.
This book is essential for students and academics in criminology,
criminal justice, sociology and gender studies.
