- Summary:
- The Gender of Crime introduces students to how gender shapes our understanding of every aspect of crime. This dynamic and provocative book shows that gender is central to the definition and prosecution of crimes, that it shapes understandings of victimization, and that it structures the criminal justice system and the experiences of itsworkers.
