This comprehensive and incisive text examines all aspects of women in crime, reappraising conventional accounts of women's criminality and the validity of mainstream criminological theories for women.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe author argues that stereotypical images of women have been used to explain both women's lack of criminal behaviour and the nature and extent of their criminality. They are also employed to account for both responses to female offenders and female victims in the criminal justice system and the kind of work thought appropriate for women there. Allison Morris critically examines the way in which these attitudes and conceptions of women's social roles affect their position within the criminal justice system, and highlights the special problems women experience there.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFocusing on women as defendants and prisoners, as victims and criminal justice professionals, Dr Morris shows that an understanding of women's crime is of fundamental significance of criminology. This book will be an important addition to the literature on crime, as both a correction of and a complement to the criminology of men.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface V11 \u003cp\u003e1 Criminology and Women 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Gender Differences in Crime 19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Theories of Women's Crime 41\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Women in the Criminal Justice System 79\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Women in Prison 104\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Women as Criminal Justice Professionals 131\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Women as Victims 160\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 193\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography 217\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 249\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Society \u0026amp; culture: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Society \u0026amp; culture: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Society%20\u0026amp;%20culture:%20general%20%5BJF%5D%22\"\u003eJF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52316761686296,"sku":"9780631154457","price":32.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780631154457.jpg?v=1781824019","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/women-crime-and-criminal-justice-paperback-softback-9780631154457","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
