CRJ 330 - Women, Crime and Justice

(4)

Exploration of various issues related to women’s experiences with the criminal justice system as offenders, victims, and practitioners. Uses feminist criminological scholarship to examine: the historical place of women in the study of crime, explanations of men’s and women’s offending, the relationship between women’s victimization and offending behaviors, and the role of women in traditionally male-dominated criminal justice careers. Identical with WGS 330.
