Criminal Women: Gender Matters

Sharon Grace (University of York),Maggie O'Neill (University College Cork),Tammi Walker (Durham University),Hannah King (Durham University),Lucy Baldwin (De Montfort University)

Bringing together cutting-edge feminist research, this collection uses participatory, inclusive and narrative methodologies to highlight the lived experiences of women involved with the criminal justice system.

Accounts of female offenders’ journeys into the criminal justice system are often silenced or marginalised.

Featuring a Foreword from Pat Carlen and inspired by her seminal book ‘Criminal Women’, this collection uses participatory, inclusive and narrative methodologies to highlight the lived experiences of women involved with the criminal justice system. It presents studies focused on drug use and supply, sex work, sexual exploitation and experiences of imprisonment.

Bringing together cutting-edge feminist research, this book exposes the intersecting oppressions and social control often central to women’s experiences of the justice system and offers invaluable insights for developing penal policies which account for the needs of women.
