Читать книгу The Invisible Woman - Joanne Belknap - Страница 8

This edition is heavily updated with research and data that have appeared since the last edition was published in 2014. Some of the chapter titles have changed because the foci have changed. Topics new to this edition include anti-carceral/abolitionist feminism, structural sexism, adultification, environmental criminology, the #MeToo movement, revenge porn, and trauma-informed care. Given that queer criminology has grown, there is more information on this, as well. Finally, the previous edition had 13 chapters. In this edition, what was formerly Chapter 4 “A Gendered Account of Women and Girls’ Offending” is now two chapters: Chapter 4 “Accounting for Gender–Crime Patterns” and Chapter 5 “The Context of Women and Girls’ Offending.” The world charts included at the end of the previous chapters have been updated. They would have used so much space in the book (driving the costs up), that SAGE acquisitions editor Jessica Miller and I decided to make these available for free to the teachers and students who adopt this book. Specific differences by chapter include:

 Chapter 1, Gendering Criminology Through an Intersectional Lens, is updated and the title changed to reflect the broader focus on intersectionality, with new concepts including the Global South, the Global North, sex-positive criminology, carceral feminism, missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls (MMIWG), and structural sexism.

 Chapter 2, Theories Part I: Positivist, Evolutionary, Strain, Differential Association, Social Control, and Women’s Emancipation Theories, also changed titles and, along with the next chapter on theories, is reorganized and provides more recent tests of the theories.

 Chapter 3, Theories Part II: Critical, Labeling, Cycle of Violence, Life Course, Pathways, and Masculinity Theories, like Chapter 2, changed titles and is reorganized and provides more recent tests of the theories covered in this chapter. This chapter also includes three new figures. One is on critical race feminism; another compares cycle of violence, pathways, and life course theories; and the last is Gunnison’s (2015) test of life course theory.

 Chapter 4, Accounting for Gender–Crime Patterns, has more recent data on U.S. arrest rates and patterns for many specific offenses over time. It introduces three steps to assessing, interpreting, and explaining gender-convergence patterns over time.

 Chapter 5, The Context of Women and Girls’ Offending for Specific Crimes, provides far more information on how the commission of various crimes is gendered. It includes a new figure on girls’ strategies for meth procurement based on Lopez and colleagues’ (2019) work, introduces the concept of “bargaining with the patriarchy,” and presents research on nonmedical prescription drug use and child abductions/kidnappings.

 Chapter 6, Processing Women and Girls in the Criminal Legal System, introduces new material on cultural variables, the complexity of chivalry, and the legacy of racism in confounding measures of crime. This chapter also addresses the necessity for statistical models to account for the intersections of gender with race, and the usefulness of separate statistical models for females and males to determine whether contributors to CLS outcome decisions are gendered.

 Chapter 7, Incarcerating, Punishing, and “Treating” Offending Women and Girls, is reorganized and provides updated data on gender and incarceration and introduces more research on the children of incarcerated women, including prison nurseries.

 Chapter 8, Gender-Based Abuse (GBA), is significantly reorganized and updated, introduces environmental criminology as it relates to feminist criminology, and addresses MMIWG as a GBA.

 Chapter 9, Focusing on Sexual Abuse, is reorganized and updated and introduces a new figure on child sexual assault victims and perpetrators. It includes more on street sexual harassment and introduces the changes from Professor Anita Hill’s ordeal to the #MeToo movement and the significance of sexual abuse kits (SAKs). Anti-carceral feminists’ concerns with CLS responses are discussed, as is the extraordinarily high risk of sexual abuse victimization among trans women.

 Chapter 10, Intimate Partner Abuse (IPA) and Stalking, introduces a new section on additional IPA tactics by perpetrators against immigrants, LGBTQI+ individuals, and people with disabilities. A new figure summarizes the ways that IPA is a GBA among different-sex couples. IPA against trans and intersex individuals is introduced, as is anti-carceral feminists’ movements toward more decriminalization of domestic violence.

 Chapter 11, Women Working in Prisons and Jails, introduces how the growing visibility of nonbinary gender identities and rights should include women’s right to work in the CLS and summarizes recent research documenting sexism against women working in prisons and jails.

 Chapter 12, Women Working in Policing and Law Enforcement, includes women’s continued poor representation and advancements in police work, and the hostile workplace that is still all too common. It introduces Workman-Stark’s (2017) five steps of police identity formation, the link between community-oriented policing and how women “do” policing, and transphobia in policing.

 Chapter 13, Women Working in the Courts, similar to Chapters 11 and 12, documents the continued sexism faced by women working in the courts, particularly in law firms, particularly in terms of the introduced concept BigLaw. Women’s representation in law schools and as judges has improved.

 Chapter 14, Effecting Change, introduces the ecological model of victimization, offending, and working in the CLS; new figures on transformative critical feminist criminology; the concepts of trauma-informed care and digital documenting; and a section on improving research methods and community-coordinated responses.
