This book is extremely helpful for understanding how the media, schools, and the criminal justice system perpetuate these fears, which can seriously impede peoples', particularly women's, lives. Rader strives to make readers understand that these fears frequently center on both specific races and the female gender.... Summing Up: Highly recommended.\"\u003c\/i\u003e—\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eChoice\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Temple University Press,U.S.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49408322797911,"sku":"9781439921029","price":73.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781439921029.jpg?v=1730502438","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/teaching-fear-9781439921029","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
