The Gender of Crime introduces readers to how gender shapes our
understanding of every aspect of crime-from defining what crime is
to governing how crime is punished. The second edition of this
award-winning book maintains the accessible, reader-friendly
narrative of the first edition with key updates and new material
throughout, including increased focus on the intersections of race,
class, gender, and sexuality in crime and punishment; more
attention to LGBTQ issues; additional coverage of gender and crime
on college campuses; and more. This dynamic and provocative book
illustrates how gender is central to the definition, prosecution,
and sentencing of crimes, that it shapes how victimization is
experienced and understood, and how it structures the institutions
of the criminal justice system and the experiences of workers
within that system. The Gender of Crime demonstrates that crime,
victimization, and crime control are never generic-they are instead
produced and experienced by gendered (and raced, and classed, and
sexualized) actors within contexts of social inequality. This book
highlights key concepts and encourages readers to think through a
range of compelling real-life examples, from school violence to
corporate crime. The second edition of The Gender of Crime is
essential reading for students of gender and sexuality, sociology,
criminology, and criminal justice.
Communication and the Work-Life Balancing Act: Intersections across
Identities, Genders, and Cultures offers scholarly research related
to work-life balance in today's environment, with a particular
focus on the fields of communication and gender studies. The
chapters examine the choices, challenges, and gendered experiences
that women and men face as they navigate structures of work,
domestic duties, and childcare in search of balance. Underpinning
this text is the notion that work-life balance affects everyone but
is experienced differently through the intersections of sex, age,
gender, socioeconomic status, and race. Recommended for scholars of
communication, gender studies, organizational communication,
sociology, and family communication.
