Handbook of LGBT Communities, Crime, and Justice cover

Contemporary scholars have begun to explore non-normative sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression in a growing victimization literature, but very little research is focused on LGBTQ communities’ patterns of offending (beyond sex work) and their experiences with police, the courts, and correctional institutions. This Handbook, the first of its kind in Criminology and Criminal Justice, will break new ground by presenting a thorough treatment of all of these under-explored issues in one interdisciplinary volume that features current empirical work.

From the book reviews:

“The present work is apparently the first full-scale compilation in the realm of LGBT criminology and criminal justice. It contains 25 chapters by (principally US) criminologists who address a range of issues. … students of crime and criminal justice who recognize the need to attend to LGBT dimensions of crime and criminal justice in their work will find this quite comprehensive volume an invaluable resource. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.” (D. O. Friedrichs, Choice, Vol. 52 (5), January, 2
