Women Gender and Crime 2nd edition by Mallicoat

Women, Gender, and Crime, 2nd Edition by Mallicoat from Sage examines how gender influences offending, victimization, and experiences within the criminal justice system.

Written for courses in criminology, sociology, gender studies, and criminal justice, it blends feminist theory, empirical research, and policy analysis. Students are encouraged to evaluate how laws, institutions, and social expectations shape crime, punishment, victim services, and reform efforts.
