Criminalizing Women; Gender and (In)justice in Neo-liberal Times

by Gillian Balfour & Elizabeth Comak (eds) - £21.95  Fernwood Publishing (2006)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781552661871 | ISBN 10: 1552661873

This book introduces readers to key issues addressed by feminists in their engagement with criminology over the past four decades. It explores the narratives of women's lives as "errant females," sex workers, "gang members," and drug traffickers to map out the connections between the choices women make and the conditions of their lives. It shows how criminlized women and girls have been disciplined, managed, corrected and punished as prisoners, patients, mothers and victims through imprisonment, medicalization adn secure care. And it considers the feminist strategies that have been used to address the conditions inside women's prisons, to defend criminalized women's human rights and to draw attention to the systemic abuses against poor and racialized women.
