Summary:

"The Emerald Handbook of Criminology, Feminism and Social Change combines a wide range of international contributors to chart the uneasy relationship between feminism, criminology and victimology. It explores historical and contemporary questions posed for criminology and victimology by feminist work. The book is split into four sections: part one discovers the origins of feminist criminology; part two showcases research and broadens the conceptual and spatial horizons of feminist criminological endeavour through the inclusion of voices from the Global South, setting a challenging agenda for those in the Global North to listen to. Part three, 'Extending the Criminological Agenda', illustrates how feminist thought has pushed the boundaries of criminological work to offer more nuanced approaches to thinking about crime and criminal victimisation, and introduce differently problematic behaviour into the orbit of the discipline. Finally, part four looks ahead to set the agenda for the future relationship between feminism and criminology. Comprehensive and current, this handbook provides fresh insight and commentary on the capacity of criminology to listen to feminist voices and is essential reading for anyone interested in feminism, criminology and social change."-- Provided by publisher.
