Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book needs to be updated because the authors are using data from the late 80's and early 90's. Each chapter is written by a different author and some are better than others. The book is one sided and ignores reality in a lot of places because it would contradict some of their theories. The book is decent but you must remember it is one sided and they seem to have an agenda. Keep an open mind while reading it, a lot of the information is either dated or wrong.

Consisting of original essays commissioned for the volume from leading scholars, as well as a number of recently published, important articles in the field, this anthology provides a comprehensive overview of the ways in which women affect and are affected by crime and the criminal justice system. Analysis is grounded in feminist scholarship and activism, and anchored in perspectives that orient women's crime, imprisonment, victimization, and survival in a race, class, and gender perspective.
