From the denial of abortion rights in Ireland to sexual violence against British South Asian women in England, the state and its institutions continue to fail women. This book offers a counter-narrative to contemporary injustices and a persistent culture of victim-blaming.
The academic and activist contributions to this collection explore contemporary research areas and pursue new discursive directions in order to present a feminist criminology, built on feminist praxis, for the 21st century.
Providing a direct challenge to regressive and ineffective theory, policy and practice, this book resists the politics of gendered victimization through extending feminist analyses of the state and documenting interventions into contemporary injustices.
"This book makes a significant contribution to the scholarship about social and criminal justice issues relating to the lived experiences of women and girls. It should become a classic in feminist literature.” Rebecca Dobash and Russell Dobash, University of Manchester
"This collection is a timely, necessary and powerful addition to feminist and critical criminological debate, exposing and documenting state power, harms and injustice and the strategies demanded for change." Kathryn Chadwick, Manchester Metropolitan University
