The authors demonstrate the ongoing relevance of feminist criminology and gender to issues of crime, criminalisation and criminal justice. Unlike most textbooks in this area they turn their attention to contemporary issues such as globalization, human trafficking and the impact of the global financial crisis. Crother-Dowey and Silvestri’s human rights framework has much to offer students and scholars interested in gender and crime in the contemporary age. \u003c\/p\u003e -- Dr Jennifer Fleetwood\u003cbr\u003eThis second edition of Silvestri and Crowther-Dowey′s \u003cem\u003eGender and Crime\u003c\/em\u003e represents a significant updating of what was already an important contribution to this field. The authors place the study of gender and crime at the forefront of criminological research and writing. They clearly demonstrate that the inclusion of a gndered perspective within criminology continues to extend and challenge the discipline in multiple ways. Informative and engaging at all times Silvestri and Crowther-Dowey′s newest contribution should be now considered as \u003cem\u003ethe\u003c\/em\u003e key text for the teaching of this subject at university level. -- Karen Evans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis second edition of \u003cem\u003eGender and Crime \u003c\/em\u003ebuilds impressively on the achievements of the first, underlining the case for a human rights approach to women and men as offenders, victims and workers in a system that should deliver in terms of social as well as criminal justice.  Although it is an introductory text, with chapter summaries, study questions and hints for further reading, the authors bring important theoretical, political and other debates bang up to date, and provide exactly the sort of broad and comprehensive overview that leads the reader to further, more detailed study. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e -- Anne Robinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Introduction PART 1: Gender \u0026amp; Crime in Context Chapter 2: Theorising Gender and Crime Chapter 3: Gender, Crime and History Chapter 4: Contemporary Issues in Gender and Crime in a Globalised World PART 2: Out of Control Chapter 5: Women as Offenders Chapter 6: Men as Offenders PART 3: In Need of Care Chapter 7: Women as Victims Chapter 8: Men as Victims PART 4: In Control Chapter 9: Gender and Criminal Justice Workers Chapter 10: The Criminal Justice System: A Gendered Site Glossary References","brand":"Sage Publications Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48739573301591,"sku":"9781473902190","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781473902190.jpg?v=1720052629","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/gender-and-crime-9781473902190","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
