Gender, Criminalization, Imprisonment and Human Rights in Southeast Asia features contributions from activist scholars grappling to understand and alleviate the compound sufferings of women and LGBTIQA+ persons as they encounter Southeast Asian criminal justice systems. The collection demonstrates that it is critical that the drivers of gendered harms and the way gendered needs intersect with other inequalities are better understood and adequately reflected in law, policy and practice.
This exciting new collection reinvigorates prison studies and feminist criminology. Offering a sobering glimpse into the lived reality of prisons in Southeast Asia, it reminds us of the salience of gender in understanding incarceration and the urgent need for action.
-- Mary Bosworth, Centre for Criminology, University of OxfordThe breadth of issues covered makes this contribution an invaluable resource for criminologists, social activists, jurists and policymakers working to enhance the efficacy of criminal justice policy and practice in Southeast Asia and elsewhere.
-- Juan Marcellus Tauri, University of Waikato and Centre for Global IndigeneityThis collection provides data, analyses, theorizations and experiences of populations that much of the Western world has ignored or overlooked. Shifting criminology’s gaze toward such issues from a Southeast Asian perspective is a most welcome and much-needed adjustment.
-- Deborah H. Drake, Department of Social Policy and Criminology, The Open UniversityAn excellent contribution towards unpacking the meaning of participation in the social world […] each of the contributors makes an important contribution towards furthering our understanding of prisons and experiences of women and gender and sexual minorities in prisons in the Global South. In this regard, the edited volume fills an important gap in criminology literature. -- Rimple Mehta [MEHTA, R. (2024).
