Title
Women, Crime and Criminal Justice: A Global Enquiry - Paperback
by Rosemary Barberet (Author)
Women, Crime and Criminal Justice is the winner of the Division of International Criminology's Distinguished Book Award 2014 and the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences International Section's 2015 Outstanding Book Award and the first fully internationalised book to focus on women as offenders, victims and justice professionals. It provides background, as well as specialized information that allows readers to comprehend the global forces that shape women and crime; analyze different types of violence against women (in peacetime and in armed conflict); and grasp the challenges faced by women in justice professions such as the police, the judiciary and international peacekeeping.
Provocative, highly topical, engaging and written by an expert in the field, this book examines the role of women in crime and criminal justice internationally. Topics covered include:
- the role of globalization and development in patterns of female offending and victimization,
- how a human rights framework can help explain women s crime, victimization and the criminal justice response,
- global women's activism,
- international perspectives on violence against women, including femicide, violence in conflict and post conflict settings, sex work and sex trafficking,
- women's access to justice, as well as the increased role of women in international criminal justice settings.
This book will be essential reading for those involved in the study of development, human rights, governance, security sector reform, international relations and public health, as debates about these subjects are intrinsically linked to the issues surrounding women, crime and justice. It will also be useful for students taking courses on gender, crime and criminal justice, violence against women, international criminal justice and gender studies.
