Description
This book provides a lucid and highly accessible introduction to gender issues in crime and criminal justice, central to any understanding of crime and criminal justice policy. It deals with a wide range of issues within criminology and victimology from the way in which the fear of crime is debated to the way in which the law operates in a gendered fashion. It replaces and updates her earlier book Gender and Crime: An Introduction (1995).
