Description

Women's relationship to the criminal justice system in England has undergone significant changes over the past four centuries. This book explores the complex debates surrounding the regulation of femininities, examining key issues such as attitudes towards murder and infanticide, prostitution, and sexual violence. By drawing on a range of sources, including court records, autobiographies, and literature, the authors provide a nuanced understanding of women's experiences within the criminal justice system. The book also considers women's participation in illegal forms of protest and political activism, as well as their involvement in occupations associated with criminal justice. The authors make reference to recent studies of masculinity, highlighting the ways in which relations between men and women have been understood and negotiated across time. This study offers a valuable introduction to an increasingly popular area of study, providing a rich and detailed analysis of women's experiences within the criminal justice system.
