A collection that re-imagines the field of criminology with insights gleaned from feminist theory. It includes works that illustrate that the gender is a key organizing principle of social life. It exemplifies the feminist concern for thinking consciously about how and why we do our research with the crucial goal of producing knowledge.

Why are there pronounced gender differences in rates of criminal victimization? Does gender influence the response of the criminal justice system and other parts of the community to offenders and to crime victims? Looking at such questions, this book pays attention to race, ethnicity, and immigrant groups, and provides a comparative perspective.
