"Martin and Jurik provide a clear body of evidence illuminating the
gendered nature of criminal justice occupations. Of the multitude
of feminist works on this topic, this is one of the best analyses
available." -CRIMINAL JUSTICE REVIEW Doing Justice, Doing Gender:
Women in Legal and Criminal Justice Occupations is a highly
readable, sociologically grounded analysis of women working in
traditionally male dominant justice occupations of law, policing,
and corrections. This Second Edition represents not only a thorough
update of research on women in these fields, but a careful
reconsideration of changes in justice organizations and occupations
and their impact on women's justice work roles over the past 40
years. New to the Second Edition: Introduces a wider range of
workplace diversity and experiences: An expanded sociological
theoretical framework grasps the interplay of gender, race,
ethnicity, and sexual orientation in understanding workplace
identities and inequities. Provides a better understanding of the
centrality of gender issues to understanding the legal and criminal
justice system in general: This edition further connects women's
work experiences to social trends and consequent changes in legal
system and in criminal justice agencies. Offers a more
international perspective: More material is included on women
lawyers, police, and correctional officers in countries outside the
U.S. Intended Audience: This is an excellent supplemental text for
advanced undergraduate and graduate courses such as Gender &
Work; Women and Work; Sociology of Work and Occupations; Women and
the Criminal Justice System; and Gender Justice in the departments
of Sociology, Criminal Justice, Women's Studies, and Social Work.

Declines in real wages, increases in the number of poor families,
and cutbacks to welfare and other safety-net programs have
stimulated the popularity of microenterprise development programs
(MDPs). These programs typically offer training and loans to
individuals seeking to operate very small businesses. MDPs are
often presented as a path to the self-sufficiency that comes with
entrepreneurship and as an example of the success of market-based
alternatives to government programs. In Bootstrap Dreams, Nancy C.
Jurik analyzes the origins and maturation of these programs in the
United States. Based on a national sample of fifty programs and an
eight-year case study of one in particular, this is a rare book
about microenterprise development. Jurik understands the positive
social mission of MDPs, but she is not blind to the problems that
they encounter. Jurik's clear perception of potential difficulties
and her keen ability to place the microenterprise movement in the
larger context of welfare reform and globalization make Bootstrap
Dreams a valuable book.
