Risk, insecurity, gender and victimization are the subject of ongoing debate. Teenage pregnancy and domestic violence are all new aspects of familiar social issues. This book proposes solutions to some of these problems. |
| Synopsis: |
Frances Heidensohn is an important criminological thinker whose books are interesting, innovative and much appreciated by students. In her latest volume she takes a fresh look at gender and social control, taking account of the new sociologies of risk and globalisation. Risk, insecurity, gender and victimisation are the subject of ongoing debate. teenage pregnancy, domestic violence, the supposedly growing aggression of young women are all new aspects of familiar social issues. Distance and difference are said to be so reduced that we live in a world where globalisation has altered communities and social control in irrevocable ways. This provocative and challenging book proposes solutions to some of these problems, draws parallels with the past, and points to lessons to be learned for the future. EThis book is recommended reading of students, professionals and researchers in the fields of criminology, gender studies, sociology, politics and social policy. |
