Gender, Crime and Criminal Justice by Sandra Walklate

Gender, Crime and Criminal Justice by Sandra Walklate

This book examines the relationship between gender and crime and explores both the gendered nature of crime alongside the gendered nature of criminal victimisation and covers theory, policy and practice.

"Gender is one of the most central and persistent organizing principles of the criminal justice systems and policies around the globeThis book explains why offending, victimization, policing, prisons, and the crime polices are inherently gendered. Walklate and Fitz-Gibbon weave their way through a complex map of gendered criminal justice practices, theories and policies. The book should be essential reading for a wide range of students, scholars, policy makers and criminal justice practitioners interested in crime, gender and criminal justice."

- Kerry Carrington, Professor and Head of School of Justice, Faculty of Law, Queensland University of Technology, Australia

"This book provides a historically-informed, yet contemporary, analysis of gender in relation to key criminological and victimological theorists, issues and debates. The detailed and accessible approach taken by the authors make this book an important resource for those interested in established and emerging themes concerning gender and criminal justice in an increasingly globalised domain."

- Marian Duggan, Lecturer in Criminology, School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research, University of Kent, UK
