Gendering Criminology provides a contemporary guide for understanding how gender shapes criminal engagement and victimization, as well as reactions to these offenses among the public and agents of social control. This inviting textbook shows how gender socially situates people in their risks for criminal justice involvement and what occurs in the aftermath of crime: arrest, the judicial process, and sentencing. Its ultra-contemporary approach illustrates the links between media and popular culture and our understanding of crime and punishment, and highlights the experiences of LGBTQIA+ communities involved in or working within the criminal-legal system. With an intersectional lens and a wealth of engaging examples and activities, Gendering Criminology helps students develop the tools they need to think critically about gender, crime, and punishment today.
