Women's and Girls' Pathways Through the Criminal Legal System by Shannon Lynch
Describes women's and girls' pathways through the criminal justice system as framed through the lens of two theoretical perspectives - the feminist pathways perspective and intersectional criminology - as well as two applied approaches to prevention, risk reduction, and intervention - trauma-informed approaches and the sequential intercept model.
"I really appreciate how Women's and Girls' Pathways through the Criminal Legal System is theoretically driven by both pathways and intersectional theories and starts with girls/women being tracked into the system and ends with reentry and communityIn between are chapters that offer an easy-to-consume understanding of the system, how it operates and the flaws, and gender-responsive approaches that include trauma-informed care. There are great figures (including flow charts) and exercises to apply knowledge throughout the book.
I think this book is great for scholars, practitioners, and students! It's a theoretically sound, policy-detailed, data-driven, current, and much-needed book, with a comprehensive view of the challenges and problems women and girls face in the system, at the same time that it identifies some solutions."
