Description
Criminal Women: Gender Matters explores the experiences of women involved with the criminal justice system. Using participatory and narrative methodologies, this collection sheds light on their journeys into the system.
The book presents studies focused on drug use and supply, sex work, sexual exploitation, and imprisonment, bringing together cutting-edge feminist research to expose the intersecting oppressions and social control often central to women's experiences of justice. It offers valuable insights for developing penal policies that account for the needs of women.
