Criminalizing Women: Gender and Injustice in Neo-Liberal Times

This reference focuses on the key issues addressed by feminists in their engagement with criminology over the past four decades. Exploring women's lives as "errant females," this volume maps out the connections between the choices women make and their environment as linked to the wider socio-political context and considers feminist strategies used to address the conditions inside women's prisons, defend criminalized women's human rights, and draw attention to the systemic abuses against poor and racialized women.
