Feminist Theory, Crime, and Social JusticeAuthor(s): Alana Van Gundy\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Inc, United States\nImprint: Anderson Publishing\nISBN-13: 9780323242745, 978-0323242745\nSynopsis\nFeminist Theory, Crime, and Social Justice offers an insightful look at the primarily masculine-driven perspective on crime and justice through the lens of feminist theory. The book presents the argument that an increased understanding of the female crime typology, life course, and gender-specific programming will improve social justice for offenders. Discussions on the direct implications of the way society views crime and justice contribute to policy recommendations for helping to improve these views, specifically as they relate to female crime.
