Synopsis: |
While rates of violent victimization have declined, women are still much more likely than men to be attacked by an intimate partner. Simultaneously, women's involvement in the criminal justice system, as arrestees and sentenced offenders, is increasing. Criminologists are struggling to understand these patterns of offending and victimization and how they can be prevented. Composed of original contributions by many of the top scholars in criminology, these essays will help to transform our understanding of women's relation to crime.Composed of original contributions by many of the top scholars in criminology, these essays will help to transform our understanding of women's relation to crime.Contributors: Jennifer L.
