Women and Criminal Justice

  • Edition : 2nd ed., 2021
  • Author(s) : Hsieh, McShane

Women and Criminal Justice provides a comprehensive view of how gender, race, and class affect the status of women in the context of policing, courts, and corrections. Systematic and engaging, Hsieh and McShane integrate the perspectives and experiences of women who are employed in the criminal justice system, as well as those who are offenders or victims of crime.
