CRJ 779 Perspectives on Gender and Crime
3 hours
This course explores the relationship between women, gender, crime, deviance, and the legal system. It focuses on feminist historical, sociological and socio-legal scholarship to examine the ways in which gender affects the labeling of criminality and deviance, patterns of offending, and the response of the legal system. It critically engages with the intersections between gender, race, class, and sexuality and analyzes how these identities impact the treatment of women labeled as offenders.
