The Routledge Companion to Gender and Crime

About this book

The Routledge Companion to Gender and Crime offers a comprehensive, intersectional, and global exploration of gender and crime, addressing patterns of offending and victimization, criminal justice system challenges, and the evolving role of gender in criminal justice worldwide.

This edited collection will help readers gain an understanding of the intersectional and global dynamics of gender and crime, including offending and victimization patterns, justice system challenges, and professional practices. It examines gendered differences in criminal processing, sentencing, and supervision, and touches upon contemporary issues that practitioners face related to gender and sexuality, such as gender and health in prisons. The book delivers this through chapters written by experts, integrating cutting-edge research, real-world applications, and diverse perspectives to address contemporary issues in criminology and criminal justice. This handbook expands upon existing works to include a background on gender and crime, theories related to gendered victimization and offending, and the importance of intersectionality.

The Routledge Companion to Gender and Crime will be of interest to both undergraduate and graduate students in criminology and criminal justice programs, as well as researchers and educators in gender, politics, and sociology.
