Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The definitive text for the course, Belknap covers women and the criminal justice system with a focus on three major areas: (1) female offenders and their treatment by the criminal justice system; (2) female victims of crime; and (3) female employees of the agencies of the criminal justice system.

Book News Annotation:

Belknap (sociology and women's studies, U. of Colorado, Boulder) examines how the establishment of penal codes, creation of sentencing guidelines and correctional programs in prisons, and supervision programs in the community, all of which have been designed for men, affect women. In this edition, updated with new studies and made more specific as to the women working in the criminal legal system, Belknap covers the emergence of gender issues in criminology, theories on female offenders, the frequency and nature of offending, processing, incarcerating, and treatment. She describes female victims of male violence, including their image, sexual victimization, stalking, and abuse by intimate partners, and the work of women professionals in prisons and jails, policing, and the courts. She advocates more research and application of that research to policy.
