Beschreibung

Featuring contributed chapters written by experts within the discipline alongside valuable original material, Punishing Gender Past and Present: Examining the Criminal Justice System across Gendered Experiences exposes the disparities in how individuals within the system are treated according to gender. In Unit 1, chapters cover police misconduct victimization, the experiences of female sex workers, and discrimination and sexual harassment endured by female police officers. Unit II speaks to the sentencing and punishing of incarcerated women, differential treatment by the courts, delinquency and criminalization of girls, and disparities in death sentencing and execution according to gender. In Unit III, readers learn about gender and victimization with chapters that discuss intimate partner violence, sexual assault, femicide, and more. Unit IV addresses the reformatory model for women and girls, the impact of incarceration on fathers and their families, and issues related to LGBTQI offenders and prison management. Unit V addresses special populations, including mothers in prison, female sex offenders, male victims, white-collar offenders, and individuals with mental health issues. The final unit is dedicated to future considerations, including inclusivity and equity in criminal justice programming and practices across genders, as well as considering boys and men in the feminist pathways perspective.
