Criminology Throughout History: Critical Readings provides students
with a carefully selected set of readings that help them develop a
strong knowledge base in the history of criminology. This
historical perspective supports a holistic understanding of
criminological thought and theory, and helps students situate
themselves within the production of knowledge in the discipline.
The anthology is divided into three parts. Part I focuses on the
historical development of criminological thought, beginning with an
overview of the impact of liberal philosophy. Part II takes a
closer look at the early theories of causation. Part III provides
new directions in criminology, embracing the ideals set by the
liberal philosophers: equality, freedom, and justice. For each
part, students are provided with a timeline that clearly outlines
historical events and demonstrates how the discipline has been
influenced and shaped over time. Criminology Throughout History is
an ideal textbook to use in undergraduate and graduate criminology
and criminal justice programs.
Gender, Crime, and Justice: Critical and Feminist Perspectives
provides feminist and critical perspectives on crime, justice, and
human rights. The readings survey gender socialization as it
pertains to criminality. They examine inequality within the
patriarchal system with the primary focus on the subjugation and
oppression of the gendered body. The anthology introduces students
to concepts associated with gender, ranging from equality to
violence, by engaging them in in-depth examinations of crimes of
sex and the discourse on sexual autonomy. The reader also examines
the socialization of boys and girls, as well as explores various
ways gender affects women and men in a society that values
heteronormative masculinity. Furthermore, it takes a conceptual
approach by addressing topics such as a gendered view of violence,
prostitution as a gendered crime, and traditional gender attitudes
towards violence against women. The second edition features new
readings on sexual health and reproductive rights; human
trafficking as a nexus of exploitation; violence in LGBTQ families;
and the interplay of masculinity, crime, and criminal justice.
Gender, Crime, and Justice is well suited to classes in gender,
women's studies, criminal justice, and sociology.
