The Invisible Woman: Gender, Crime, and Justice offers a thorough exploration of the theories and issues regarding the experiences of women and girls with the criminal justice system as victims, offenders, and criminal justice professionals. Working to counter the "invisibility" of women in criminal justice, this definitive text utilizes a feminist perspective that incorporates current research, theory, and the intersections of sexism with racism, classism, and other types of oppression. Focusing on empowerment of marginalized populations, author Joanne Belknaps gendered approach to the criminal justice system examines how to improve the visibility of women and to promote their role in society.

Arvustused

"The Invisible Woman should be a required text for every Criminal Justice student. It provides an in-depth look at women in the criminal justice system from a feminist perspective that examines women offenders to women practitioners in the field. The approach is very appealing, especially in our current political climate." -- Angelina Inesia-Forde "The Invisible Woman is the authority, in my opinion, for discussions about gender and crimeIt is a straightforward and compelling text that applies a feminist perspective in understanding complex issues, involving women and gender, crime, offending, victimization, and the practitioner experience." -- Christina Mancini "I appreciate that this text offers a balance of addressing theory, offending, victimization, and womens participation in criminal justice institutions. The texts commitment to a feminist perspective provides a welcome distinction from other currently available books." -- Benjamin D. Albers "The text provides informative and insightful information on whats happening with women while providing strategic activities on how to improve the visibility of women to ensure programs, services, and promote their role in society." -- Robbin Day Brooks "The Invisible Woman is the best book out there to date." -- J. Robert Duke
