Maguire, Morgan & Reiner: The Oxford Handbook of Criminology 4e
Chapter 13
Criminology has predominantly been ethnocentric, the domain of white, privileged males. Does this remain the case?
Is a feminist criminology either possible or desirable?
In what ways, if any, has feminist criminology contributed to the methodology of criminological research?
Does the identification of gender add anything to the analysis of crime or is it merely tautological, simply describing what men and women do? (See also Chapters 18, 20)
To what extent are men and women converging in their engagement in crime and, if they are, what is the explanation? (See also Chapters 18, 20)
Has the demand that women be treated more equally in the criminal justice system led to their being punished more severely? (See also Chapter 29)
Is there any justification for men and women to be treated differently within the criminal justice system?
