What is Gender, Crime and Criminal Justice: Second Edition about?

The first edition of this book provided a lucid and highly acclaimed introduction to gender issues in crime and criminal justice, central to any understanding of crime and criminal justice policy and practice. This second edition has been updated to take full account of recent developments, particularly in the areas of policing, crime prevention, restorative justice and legislation relating to sexual offenses and the nature and impact of crime on women — in particular the Sexual Offences Act 2003. The book is divided into three main sections. The first considers different ways of theorizing about gender and the relative impact of this on thinking about crime and criminal victimization; the second considers some of the evidence in relation to people’s gendered experiences of crime and criminal victimization; and the third considers how those working within the criminal justice system, and the policies that are put in place, work to sustain or change those experiences of crime and criminal victimization in relation to gender.
