What is Gender Responsive Justice: A Critical Appraisal (Routledge Critical Studies in Crime, Diversity and Criminal Justice) about?

"At the end of the twentieth century a step-change in thinking about the offending behaviour of women began to impact on policy-makers concerned with the treatment of female offenders. A growing number of nations, states and organisations both national and supra-national in nature began to acknowledge that existing criminal justice and especially penal practices had not been sufficiently attentive to women's needs and had discriminated against women as a result. The concept of 'gender-responsive justice' - an orientation to working with women and girls based around a consideration of the special needs of women as prisoners and their particular pathways to offending - has been developed as a result. This book explores the development of this concept, the theories which have informed it, policy arenas in which gender-responsive justice has been attempted and the practices of gender-responsive justice which have subsequently emerged. This book takes a global perspective as it outlines the different international and national arenas within which gender-responsive justice gained favour and considers what has been learned from this novel and feminist-inspired approach.
