Venezia Michalsen: Intersectional Feminist Criminology, Gebunden

Klappentext

"This exciting and innovative coursebook helps students critique common ways of studying and thinking about crimes, while also encouraging critical thought about hot-button issues and headline news. Utterly unique, with great potential for classroom adoption. There is no other title like this on the market."--Janet Garcia-Hallett, author of Invisible Mothers: Unseen Yet Hypervisible after Incarceration
"This book offers a much-needed, comprehensive understanding of critical criminology, moving away from traditional criminology textbooks and providing digestible ways for readers to think about and discuss complex social problems. It is a must-read to complement and replace outdated criminology textbooks."--Calvin John Smiley, author of Purgatory Citizenship: Reentry, Race, and Abolition

"Venezia Michalsen's Intersectional Feminist Criminology is a highly readable textbook for students interested in a closer examination of the theories, policies, and programs within criminology and criminal legal studies than what is typically found in introductory textbooks. While traditional texts portray surveillance and punishment as a given, Michalsen offers a critique through an intersectional feminist lens, encouraging students to ask questions about our systems with every turn of the page."--Allyn Walker, author of A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity
"Re-envisioning a traditional criminology coursebook, Intersectional Feminist Criminology is uniquely effective as a text that grounds readers in classical criminological theory while also opening their eyes to new ways of thinking about harm, violence, criminal offending, and the legal system itself. This is an excellent core reading for introductory courses."--Lisa Pasko, coauthor of The Female Offender: Girls, Women, and Crime
